Alright, so a big reason Im leaving (and a reason I suspect others are leaving) is because I miss the way New Agora was. Sure, we had our Agoradrama, but it was overall a friendly and comradely place.

The recreation didn't work this time around, and personally I believe its because of the Camp and/or our newfriend influx.

I think the best way to recreate the spirit would be to set the "dominant culture" by being a bit more selective with our inhabitants. Basically, we put them through an easy process to get citizenship. They stay in an apartment or government provided house for a week or so, building up resources and allowing us to determine how committed they are to joining/how friendly/helpful/nice they are.

What are everyone else's thoughts?
