extremely well-put posting, all-in-all.. wows. I barely ever went there, for the same reasons I don't go to VCL... always too much keeerap to wade through before seeing worthwhile stuffs. Hopefully Jaxpad will take off where Yerf ended, if the latter doesn't return.
And your words "the best-run sites seem to be those who have benevolent tyrants running them" rings true oddly enough, isn't that strange? Democracy was designed to avoid the periods of non-benevolent tyrants, but when the King is good, it's pretty darn great.
and oh... I might substitute something like Patriarch/Matriarch/Ruler instead of tyrant, since a singular guiding hand doesn't necessarily mean it's tyrannical.. heh... in fact, probably isn't benevolent if it's a tyrant... ;>
