Upon coming back and seeing the state of things, I felt bad too. Since that point, I've spent some time late at night (or at work as a chance to make the monotony go by a bit faster lol) and I feel the same way as you do.
I've got semi stable internet now, between my phone's browser, and a handy phone as modem application i downloaded. The recent RL events i've muddled through have given me a completely new start in almost every area of life. So many things have changed, I find myself wanting some kind of continuity to the past. I suppose that sounds silly, but eh, it is what it is.
No single ONE of us original founders could do what you're talking about. I thought about it myself over the last couple of days, to be honest. But, with a few of us, I think we could maybe pull it off. I, for one, am more than willing to try, if you guys want me on board.
We've got a constitution, as the 3rd one (from the 2nd convention) that is good, solid, and never got it's fair shot to shine. That's over half the work already done. We've got forums, or if need be, we could easily make new ones. No problems there.
The only problem would be convincing the remaining citizens to move to the new region. I give a 50/50 shot of that. Well, and getting enough of the other founders on board to give it a shot.
Whaddya think, praggie?
