I know that there have been several attempts at reviving Less Wrong in the past, but these haven’t succeeded because a site needs content to succeed and generating high quality content is both extremely hard and extremely time intensive.
I agree with Alexandros that Eliezer’s ghost is holding this site back—you need to talk to Eliezer and ask if he would be willing to transfer control of this site to CFAR. What we need at the moment is clear leadership, a vision and resources to rebuild the site.
If you produced a compelling vision of what Less Wrong should become, I believe that there would be people would be willing to chip in to make this happen.
EDIT: The fact that this got promoted to main seems to indicate that there is a higher probability of this working than previous attempts at starting this discussion.
