As for tech, I like the look of another site. It is a competitor, but seems very successful and is easy on the eyes.

That's the site for the software. The site itself is called Federation Space. [

If we get a face-lift, I am willing to create any sort of character and NPCS to help act as an assistant SM and keep a lively pace. To test commitment and that our new machine can withstand a real writing pace, I suggest a minor plot where we are testing the new ship. If I may be so bold, posting of the core crew should be stepped up. The aim should be a post within 24-48 hours, not to exceed 72 hours. That is a minimum post rate of every 3 days. After 48, you risk the SM posting around you. I was evil and held to a promise of 12-24 for any reply from me, with risk of bypass at 48 or more. It can be done with this few, but it requires commitment.
The biggest commitment will be from whoever takes over the server and board maintenance. Updating the wiki can come later, but this old look right here needs to go. It will take time, testing and lots of work. I'mean willing to help give input and feedback, keeping things moving and on track, but a reboot is going to be very time intensive and will take over our lives for at least the next year. In the end, it will require an active involvement by several people to keep it alive once it is up and running.
I have some writing ideas that might help in the end, but will keep them to myself for now. The tech face-lift will need to come first. My link above is only a suggestion, but such things tend to take money.
