I tend to doodle-write a lot of different versions of colonial Atlantis, most often with my sprogs -- sprogfic's what I don't like to encourage in myself, as I'm overly compulsive -- and a lot of things would have to go wrong with the SGC to do a colony that's cutting off contact 100%. I can solve the self-sufficieny problem, I might be able to jiggle the population and Pegasus sociopolitical side, but when I settle on why they'd want to go colonial, it slides towards apocafic. Too hard, my brain says. ^^;
The contact with Earth really screws with the equations, I've found. Because you're not just severing ties with Earth culture, you're breaking off chain-of-command, the Milky Way demand for Ancient knowledge, not to mention the politics of a governing entity for a city that by now has *got* to have as many refugees as expedition members. Part of me's hoping they get cut off again.
