I'm alive as well, though I haven't been on here in at least a year, if I remember correctly.
As little as I actually log on here, with college, gaming, and fanfiction eating up a lot of my time, I think of this place at least once a week and fondly remember all the people I knew here. (Not to mention the fact that I've been craving a good WW game for a while now!)
As a way to try to lure old members back, why not push the graphics part of the forums some? I remember some truly amazing graphic artists here back in the day, and I know that this place is where I found my love of it - to the point that I'm now majoring in Arts and Technology (essentially graphic design and gaming). I know Livejournal's held a lot of the graphic community for a while, but with LJ being the butt of the internet's jokes, why not see if we can create a niche graphics contest community here? Someplace with graphics competitions, LIMS, etc., with a community behind it? I know I for one would be more than willing to come back for that.
As few of y'all that probably remember me, I really do miss you all!
