I do like the idea of keeping what we have so far. I also am always a little jealous when I see the threads that have been going on for 20 years and have ten trillion posts in them. 

Let's shoot for that. 

I also concur with starting in a little bit- school is about to start for me, and I'm taking a killer class this year. (Also congrats on college! Good on you for getting educated.)

I think we should also start a new interest thread? 

And I can work on putting together a 'Story so Far' thing in the characters tab. I've used that in other games to keep track of things when it gets hectic, as well as a way for newcomers to catch up quickly with the going-ons so they can hop in quickly.
