VCL seeks "stability, if not relevance" with updates

Could the VCL, once a key furry art site, reverse its trend towards irrelevance?

On newly-reinstalled forums, site admin Ch'marr declared that he had:

[…] enough motivation collected to bring VCL back to stability, and perhaps some level of functionality to keep it a useful and enjoyable place to play around with. Certainly not to it's former "splendour", but that's not the goal.

While the VCL's main page still sports several broken links, it now includes a Twitter feed:

Signaling a slow crawl back to stability, if not relevance :) More information to follow soon.

Back in 2005, the VCL's Swedish mirror server was pushing "6-8Mbits/sec" (roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of today's traffic to Inkbunny, SoFurry or Weasyl), with 40+ submissions a day. By 2009, though, it had virtually fallen out of the picture, with existing and prospective users having flocked to sites with such now-basic features as on-site comments, journals and private messages – and, perhaps as importantly, no barriers to entry.

Nowadays, uploads are few (NSFW), and signups impossible. But the VCL retains ~4500 registered users and a library of around 300,000 files, many belong to long-departed artists who have not shared them elsewhere. Perhaps, like Yerf and its archive, the VCL can yet be reinvented.
