What made PA fun was its colorful cast of characters. Take that diversity out and the board is gone.

and that is where PA is now. Sure, lots of crazy schit went on at PA before but that was its fuel ...

Why don't you post right now at PA?
Your ideas are needed.

I know exactly how to jump-start PA and could do it immediately were I admin.

I agree with that. It is what made it fun to come back everyday.

Hopefully you'll pass on your valuable ideas to the next EL
and the place will be improved?

Any good ideas?

1. Open it up to all.
2. Unban everyone
3. Delete Sparta if people are concerned what they typed. I see nothing there of concern, but hey, start a new. [Edit] No leave Sparta, there is nothing there of concern.
4. Implement a transparent process for dealing with those that cause problems
5. No permanent banning - bans have a fixed duration
6. No more topics, let the people decide if there are more needed, dont clutter the place up
7. New EL has a high tolerance for the first 4 weeks as the shitfights start, attacking EL and Mods, members and history.

How does that sound? for starters.

IQ should return to PA and tell the remaining female members they should be raped with barbed wire and broken bottles and you can all fight and gaggle on in ecstasy.

there's nothing new in that . IQ has been a dichead who spoke like that for YEARS. And some idiot in their infinite lack of wisdom decided that he would make a great mod.

I beat him in the election and thought I would do the right thing and make him a mod. I hoped he might act with maturity. It didn't turn out well.

SN convinced AiA to make Aussie and IQ co-mods and that turned out even better Cheesy

Sounds OK - I'll consider all that.

That was an experiment that went a little crazy. Diversity in action.

I don;t know if I did any convincing of AiA. Cannot recall. Getting old and that was many years ago.

[Edit} AiA is his own man.

Yeah, that experiment didn't work out. The details escape me as well.
