I think Meridian got it right. The identified niches are filled, too many people had to back off at the same time.
I always took the debates and rants way too seriously for my own good, but they certainly added to the site and got folks thinking.
The lighter IF and RP was fun, and others enjoyed the heavier stuff. Does any group still do the heavier stuff?
It was a wonderful heyday, all things working right, all folks with similar interests and lots of time available.
I'd be interested in a light IF, no ownership, shorter posts welcomed.
Cep, if you can set up a wiki (I'm rather decent with PmWiki), I've an idea for a variation on an IF. I could set it up on mine, but I'd prefer it be associated with a group. I'll do up an example later. But it would appeal mostly to the folks who enjoy IFing, so if they don't have time it won't do much. (Very defeatist, eh?)
And, hubby is home, so my time here is done for the day. Three more groups to catch up on after going offline on Dec 20, and they'll have to wait.

Lola!!!
I've given up looking for you, but it's always a nice surprise to see you here. (Email me if you're on Yahoo or MSNChat sometime. I don't log in to them as often as I used to.)
All this is from this site, so it's not gossip or anything, just consolidating.
I assume Imi's been busy with family and her new business, but it's been ages.
FireBird's son had a stroke a few months ago. No news since then.
No clue what's up with Elvin Ruler; assuming she's busy with work and such, but this is a rather long absence.
In Real Life, we see friends, or friends of friends, and gossip goes round. When someone disappears, we know why. Online? I've one friend who might be the person on the news, caught in a snowdrift in BC, but there's no way I'll ever know. Fortunately, I know she posts only every month or two, so I'm not worried.
Cheers!

Dont play too hard you say?
I Say play it as dayum hard to the line as you can baby!!!
Hells yeah!!!
Ah Jeez, do you what this place does for me? What it means to have a place that you can call a virtual "home" , with like minded gatchamaniacs you damn well miss to bits only to have a delicious thrill of recognition and delight electrify up and down your spine in seeing their names and avatars again on this thread??!
THATS what Im damn well feeling right now !!
* Biggest damn group huggleglompgigglerompfest*
Ok, ive just calmed down with a post coital smoke, so I can say I would most definately agree with all the above mentioned comments!
Cepster my fav pirate, can you not see that apart from the pheremones that Katse's has made sure to instil into this site, do consider its unique nature and character and what had made it successful for all these years since its inception back in 2001!
The answer to your threads query is simple:
BACK TO BASICS!!
Go back Gatchamania's Genesis , and you will find a group of like minded fans who made tentative steps into the world of Interactive Fanfiction, slowly exposed bits of themselves through sharing their Real life experiences as well as their opinions on world events, and lets not forget the wicked and twisted sense of humour that pervaded the place bringing the site to the brink of utter chaos!!
Its the fun ! fun to allow would be writers and artists to express their fanaticism for our cherished anime to shine, to grow and develop into confident and successful celebrities in their own right! fun to have even the most timid and shy members here reply even to one post and get to know the resident nutcases in here. A place to hang out and either contribute, or just read, smile at a comment or being confronted by a difference of opinion, or just being outraged by the sheer silliness to the point of joining in!
Fun and aweinspiring to converse ,joke around and getting to know members that have very solid Gatchaman reputations as established and renown writers, artists and even website owners! Yes , even to this very day I still get and will continue to get starstruck by members that will always remain friends despite the passage of time or real life events.
Ah it feels good to settle into drunken rambling posts again 
Cepster I look forward to reacquainting myself to the site again.( I better find the rubber room intact!) and take reassurance in this: once a Gatchamanic Addict..ALWAYS a gatchamaniac!
