This conversation seems to happen every year or so. With the 25th Anniversary coming up, it's worth another round of improvement on the Agoranomic webpage IMO - yet again many of the reports there are out of date, and the front page is fairly text heavy and not all that text is useful. It would be nice to advertise a quarter century widely and a nice look there would be helpful.
But there's plenty of other nomics out there in different formats. Every nomic (even face to face) bends to it's particular medium, and this nomic is well-adapted to those who want to use this medium. That said, the spiritual home of this game is a MOO, and it might be fun to have a MOO forum again sometime (though the last attempt at that didn't get very far and for the same reasons a new one might not).
