The E-Fed, you get Rated R asking to be the one to revive it, tries for a month, gets the power, sets up 3 threads, and then he leaves... was anyone asked to take over the E-Fed? Did anyone offer? Did anyone get their offer rewarded?
I get that both were extremely active prior to setting each thing up, but the fact is, THAT is what killed the momentum of these things.. and the quick fixes never happened.
