Almost every time when you try to reform a dead alliance, you end up with some sort of brain damaged flipper-baby version of the original.
Take Goonfleet. For all purposes, the reformed Goonsquad. Its like 3000 guys, each dumber than the rest , somehow. Its awesome.
It was only a couple of flipper babies.

FLA is one of those alliances that people like to make fun of, kind of like RISE or ISS.
You see those alliances and you really want them to succeed, to do great things but somehow, along the way, they fail. Some times, all it takes is a post on the forums to doom your alliance to eternel mockery.
I had a great time with FLA, but it's best left dead.

I heard good things, can always do worse:

I think Smash trumps KOS when it comes to the doing worse part....
Thanx for your thoughts. Next time you have time to sit and think, might I suggest you think of a place in empire to go live?

Time to throw in my contribution.
For me, FLA was always about the people. Some were awesome, some not-so-awesome. More of the former, I think. When my last corporation wanted out of the alliance, I elected to shift to LoQ and stay with FLA rather than go with them, because I had come to consider these people to be my friends and allies. Time has not changed that.
The name, at this point, is more than just purely symbolic. It brings with it history, both good and bad. On the one hand, we have the legacy of things like the Deklein Campaign (A war that improved my opinion of the Mercenary Coalition no end) Operation Palisade, and our ongoing feuds with Triumvirate and Beagle Corp, in which I like to think that we gave as good as we got.
On the other hand, there are a number of former members, dissatisfied with the way we ran things, or ornery after internal feuds and disputes, who will never be able to leave the stigma behind - for whatever reason, those people came to dislike FLA, and will inevitably continue to do so.
While I'd dearly like to raise the banner of the Freelancer Alliance again - to be a proud part of resurrecting the alliance that I spent a long and glorious time with - I am forced to conclude that it's time to make a fresh start. We can clear the air, and start again with like-minded corporations looking to uphold the core values that FLA always tried to follow - integrity, dignity, and fair play. We can do that just as effectively under a new banner as under the old, and without the attached emotional baggage.
The name is less important than the people.

I never can see the point of simply reviving a dead alliance's name. Cus thats all it is- sticking the old name on a brand new alliance. Let FLA as it was stay in history. If you want to start a new alliance, give it a new name too.
Qft.
New aliance, new name. Everything else seems just wrong.

I'd like to quote this in closing this thread from the last FLA'rs perspective. Gathering some of the toughest and best-weathered friends into an alliance that means FUN is what makes this adventure worth while.
A new adventure and a neverending story of trust and friendship is what we have now.
Thank you to all those who have shared the ride with us thus far.

FLA really brings back memories.
It represented what EvE is all about.
From "Hello" in local, to the fireworks of it's birth (was it in Stacmon?).
Just a bunch of players who wanted to do their thing in EvE, not bothering too many peeps.
Until It had the chance of claiming it's own space. Vale of the Silent had new inhabitants, forcing D.E.V.I.A.N.C.E to move to Obe. Black Lotus and his gang gave us some nice fights though, eventually ending up, side by side, fighting a mutual enemy.
The occasional StonedBoy and the ultimate Amthrianius dropped in from time to time and 0.0 life was born. Some really old FUNners already had a taste of syndicate, but real 0.0 is something entirely different. Newbies even found their ways into 0.0, making ISK @ 30 mil an hour, accompanied by an older member.
It took me 2 months before I could buy and insure my first Geddon (and even that was sponsored).
The battle for 3JN changed FLA into a more complex alliance with NAP's, diplo's, struggle, miscommunications, the worx.
As of that moment alot of pilots left FLA and others joined. Every character has it's alliance where he can find a home. FLA wasn't what it used to be, just some guys wanting to finish EvE  .
FLA was meant to die, and it did.
Build a new alliance, but cherish it's memory by making your ticker -FLA- or something.
There's only one true Freelancer and that's Jack Soul.

Another old FLA pilot here. Started in FLA before the move to 0.0 (Vale of the Silent rental from Forsaken Empire), then moved out to Deklein. Was there right through the first war with NFC, left not long after, and eventually went back for a bit of fun but did not stay long enough for the MC fights. (Vindication 3 is still the best EVE movie I've seen to date.
FLA was alot of fun for me, and also a lot of stress. Most of my old pals (Dragonmorph, Jack Soul, Hesprax, Aarthorn, Bidman and all of the old BGG guys) left as it was not the alliance we all knew and loved.
Should the FLA reform? I don't think so. Those days died along time ago. Let them rest in peace.
