Pretty simple poll. By "lasting" I mean Wikipedia as we know it, as an active wiki with at least hundreds of people working on it every day. I don't mean as a file that some future archeologist will look at as some curiously weird piece of ridiculousness from around 2010.

I'm wondering how long WR will survive? *swats at tumbleweed*

Can this place be revived? How?

It will be revived, just not immediately.

It should be possible to achieve what has gone before but with fewer people.

Over the last few months there's been more heat than light, and as the cull has removed a lot of the heaters theoretically more light should remain.

This is worrying. I'm largely in agreement with Fred here! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wtf.gif) What's the matter with me?
