... Believe it or not, I'm not dead though by all rights I really should be!
Ok, here's the deal y'all. I got tied a wee bit up with the Navy and once I finished my tour of duty there, getting out and doing the College thing... Ironically where I am now actually. Just have a year left before I graduate at this point.
Here's where things stand. As far as I'm aware, all the supporting staff have disappeared into the ether again. If we wanted to revive the MU, I could do that simply enough. I still retain the website and the MU* name at this point. (Though why I didn't stop paying for it years ago is beyond me...) Administration at this point should be easier - I'm actually not disappearing under the ocean for months at a time now that I'm a civilian again. Imagine that. As for a programmer... my girl can likely cover much of that as need be if I ask her to. (Shock! Maiza actually found himself a GF! What is the world coming to...?) For that matter, I could probably finally give in and sit down to learn MUF myself. I'm a CS major and have been avoiding it like the Plague to this point successfully over the past decade but...
... I'm rambling. I do think there is something to be said for letting SunRise itself lie as a MU* name to a degree, though there is also something to be said for building off the existing history. As for adult-themed... I could go either way on that.
Anywho, all of that will depend on the amount of interest/support and activity/participation of folks. I know there's a dedicated group of folks out there who would enjoy seeing SR return, but they're a minority. Most of us have moved on, and enticing them back will be a challenge. On top of that, there is the issue of getting new folks involved.
Poke me with thoughts/suggestions/ideas. I'm open to them.
EDIT: Cleaned up some of the post to be more coherent. Yay for 2am ramblings...
