Future of Plebsquad.com

It's pretty obvious that Plebsquad has lately been more empty than the Cronulla Sharks' premiership trophy cabinet. This has happened in the past and then the site has become busier again, but for some reason it feels more definitive this time.
A couple of months ago the admins were talking about this. There is no desire among any of us to shut down the site, because we all find it very useful for the hosting of random files, as well as space for other projects or groups such as PackRat's productions site or Matt's WoW clan. My plebsquad email is very entrenched too and I don't have a good alternative yet until I can make Thunderbird receive Gmail properly.
At least for the foreseeable future, therefore, Plebsquad will remain around. There may be some changes to hosting arrangements etc in future but for now, Midphase seems to be doing a decent job of keeping us online.
However there are two actual things to get across in this post:
1. I have started a more personal blog over at michaelwest.wordpress.com - yes, I know I could have just hosted it here, but for now I want to have the ability for it to stick around no matter what ends up happening to Plebsquad. I may get sick of it soon and then it won't matter either way but I'd like to keep updating it for a while. It will still cover similar sorts of stuff to the random things I've submitted to this news page or my html articles. Read it if you want, otherwise ignore my rambling. Like most blogs it's more cathartic than anything, I certainly have no delusions like many bloggers that my opinions are going to be valued by the world at large or will make me fame or money.
2. The lack of virtual contact makes me realise that it would be great to catch up with everyone again IRL, now that hopefully everyone has finished exams. Khoa's week LAN/party thing is one opportunity but also perhaps in the next week or so, for example this Friday 15 December. I don't have any particular ideas but we always belabour event planning so much; we should just go to a pub (Oatley is quite nice, and close to public transport), maybe catch a movie (eg. Casino Royale) or get something proper to eat as well. If anyone has suggestions on those 3 aspects or a more substantial idea, post comments below. (I will probably comment myself when I refine the plan.) Comment also if you're free. This is being planned without any pre-finding out of whether people are available or even if they still read plebsquad so some changes might follow, but I'm keen to get at least something together.
