As one of the founding members of Paragon Universe, I agree! I'm pleased to see another SG like that, because it can really work well. I'm just surprised to see someone mention the PU. Were you a member? The name isn't ringing a bell (but it was probably different there!)!
Also, yeah, I was looking to see if there were any SGs like this that I might want to join. I was thinking I might check this one out, but it's not looking like they are active.
I'm only now in the early thoughts of starting one up, but not sure yet. Anyways, just saw this reply and had to respond!
EDIT: Oh, wow, only now just saw the date of the message I replied to! Ah well! XD
