Well, I'd vote pretty strongly against the running of a Median server; I don't care about the server for the normal game though.

I can't really say much about getting more activity in the site. I know there is usually decent activity when there is drama occuring on the site, which happens every now and then (although it's usually nothing much more than a thread or two). Also, I wouldn't be against throwing the point system back in if it can get some activity going, as long as there is the store or something people can actually spend points on.
