The reason that PotM was originally stopped was because there was a lack of a healthy community - no one comes here, basically. PotM didn't even get updated for over a year.

A large part of this is my fault (rather not go into it. You were either there or you weren't.) Before I ended up leaving last time, I was going to do a site purge - categorize the best stories and delete the rest to start doing things from scratch in hopes of raising the quality of the stories on site and in the process, try to build a new community that wouldn't be put off by the myriad of bad stories plaguing the site. This was met with some uproar - but the reason I bring it up is because the fact that I considered this purge an option at any point really brings into question any confidence I have in restoring the PotM.

Until the site is cleaned up and there's at least some semi-frequent staff members, I'd rather leave it deleted so that a bad quality story (or rather, mediocre) doesn't end up on the front page.
