I discontinued doing *what*?  Check your facts, Joop -- I *never*
hosted that site.

Because I didn't find a single place there that actually dealt with
ICANN, as opposed to dealing with icannatlarge and its webfora.
Quite frankly, I don't find a single place there that I could
recommend to anyone.  It's quite sad, but that's what it is.

As success, I'd count people joining, staying, and posting.  As
success, I'd count discussions across constituencies and groups
inside ICANN that are *also* open to "outsiders."
