Quick poll to see what people want from this place, because I keep getting mixed messages from the community on this subject.
Please think carefully before answering. Make sure the answer you choose is what you really want. The poll is anonymous.
Would you prefer we stay a small community, for all practical purposes invite-only, or grow more rapidly? Know that growth most likely means more people you disagree with, no matter what viewpoint you actually take.
If the growth choice wins, this will also likely mean stronger mod protection for new members than people here are generally used to - if we keep scaring away genuinely new people with our hostility, we'll never see real growth except for kinds we probably don't want. I'll probably ask for some cooperation from you guys on certain initiatives, and you're certainly free to come up with more & better ideas on how to accomplish these goals.
