In case anyone noticed... the mzocentral.net domain expired a few days back and the site was offline. And just like the government steps in to bailout troubled banks, I stepped in and paid another year for a forum that's basically, well, dead.
So, my question is: is anyone here even remotely interested in reviving the site? I do not plan on renewing the domain again next year if it's in the same state it is now. I also feel that although I'm technically the admin, this being a community should depend on one person to keep it going. But nobody has stepped in. Sad in a way, because the less people post, the less reason others will have in posting as well and you end up in a vicious cycle of inactivity that ends up killing a site. I know a lot of us have moved on from life and are not passionately talking or playing Civ anymore but it would still be great at least for people to keep being in touch. Plus, there's ample stuff to talk about... we're in a friggin' global crisis, what more fun can that be? -------------------- "What are we holding on to, Sam?"

I know I'd be lost. I might actually have to work." - BigDork - "You are as decaying (sic) as the western world..." - Nuclear Winter - "You are a bastard... I worship you!" - Chilean President - "MZO is addictive after all, just like crack." - Godking - "Bah, it's a friggin' discussion forum. But long ponderous discussions is the crack of the intellectual and you, as a site owner, are a crack dealer." - Arnelos MZ's Gym Injury Report: No Injuries |
