Hey! Our first comment in 10 days!!!
Well, part of the problem with our lack of recent activity is that the URL
http://www.unwashed.eu still leads to that "Don't worry, we'll be back soon." message from Chucara rather than to the board, so it's possible that most of us don't know it's back up.
The other part of the problem is that the board was left out of commission for entirely too long to realistically hold on to all of its members, and I'm sorry to criticize the admins since I know they all have lives outside of maintaining this board, but it's true. I'm guessing that a lot of our members still think the board is out of commission, (I only found out it was back up through random chance), or they have moved on to other things and luring them back might be difficult. There's been a bit of a lapse in communication here regarding the state of the Village, and remedying that lapse would be a good step towards getting things running as they should again.
More to the point, I'm really not in favor of an Unwashed Facebook page replacing the forum outright, as I'm not entirely sure I want various people in my Facebook friends who aren't part of the UV social circle being able to read my prosaic essays on who was the superior Doctor Who sidekick or following my posted link to homoerotic Transformers fan-fiction that I really only intended to share with the UV for shock value. My pastor and grandparents may not fully understand or appreciate the context.
