"Try to urge quality older members (those from 2007/2008) to come back to the site. If you're still in touch over AIM, Facebook, or some other form of communication, try to contact them and bring them back to the site. At the same time, we should be trying to bring brilliant new users and contributors to the site. I think a basic approval process (that is, new accounts are approved by the staff instead of instantly created) would help to weed out a lot of bad apples,"

For real? Urge lost "quality" members to come back? Approval process for new members? Strangest thoughts I've seen in a while on this site.

So, hm...welcome back...I guess.

Seem like great ideas to me, especially approving accounts, as we have so many troll alts sign up again and again and again.

Account approval, okay. Whatever. I don't know or care anyway about most members, let alone alt accounts.

But trying to convince good ex-members to come back? Let's see: For me, this would include e.g. stof, fkusumot, Bodhesatva, rocketpig, noname2200 and Ghost of RubangB. Even if I knew how to contact these guys, I'd definitely not try to bring them back. I think they all had their different reasons to leave.

Don't think Rubang would be welcome back anyway!

That's my point. And I guess he wouldn't be the only one. People who leave sites have their reasons.
