I absolutely agree.. I just bought a house today, and this would usually be the first place I'd go to post about it. Instead of *shudder* facebook.
I don't think we can really bring back the glory of the old UV - heck, I'm not even certain it even existed in the way I imagine it now when I think back, but we can damn well try to create something that better than what it is now.. Which is pretty much lacking in direction.
Come 1 January, it'll be my 10th year anniversary.
Personally, I think we could restore this to some of it's former glory by trying to get some direction as to what we want this place to be. Right now, it's just a place to post funny links and read up on what people are doing around the World.
I never thought I'd say it, but the UV needs more crazy.
