so, I seem to somehow still have access to this account.
A722053
Is there any wit and eloquence still on H2G2?
Any appetite for this to continue after all these years? The roll call is all U-numbers now...
Happy to shut down and lose in mists of time if not. Thought I'd ask first.

I believe there is wit still surviving here, if you can revamp and relaunch A722053 I would support it

I didn't know the Wilde Awards even existed. We used to have Quote of the Day, but that seems to have died down.
As far as wordplay is concerned, we have a pun thread and a word association threads. There are various threads for short stories, including 42-word ones, and those threads are hard to keep going because so few people participate.

It's a fine idea, but, as Paul says, it was supplanted by QotD for a while. Even that has died through lack of activity, unfortunately.

QotD... dead!
As a doornail!
Deceased!
Pushing up daisies!
Off the twig!
Kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!

Blimey did I spy and Icky up there?!
How does it go?
I wonder how many other ex-regulars still lurk...
(Sadly I am slowly sinking into just lurking mostly myself)

*gasps at apparition in Post 1*
People are still posting quotable stuff but the admin was too much. Someone may come along and direct us to the qotd archive.
