What if we set up an account someplace for members to donate? There's a chance, if members were dedicated, we could try to buy the site. I don't know if this would help, really, but as it seems that most people are displeased with the owners already, it couldn't hurt to try.

All of this makes me sad, too. I was inactive for a long time, and have only recently been trying to be a better member. What if mass emails were sent out to already-registered members? Some email every day or something. Or every week. Birthdays, what's happening. Many people may have forgotten this site, and seeing a link in their inbox may remind them to come back and check out what's happening.

What's the worst that would happen? They'd scoff at the email and delete it.

Maybe encourage people to come to #eoff more? I always see the same people there. It might help bump up posting.
