Even though you're in a 1 day thread with 14+ posts. Embellish much?

Take a look at the default front page. I'll stand by my statement. Also, you might enjoy this.

Yes, I'm aware that comments can be slow, was just pointing out the irony.

Everyone talks about attracting more users to the party, but no one really talks about whose going to buy the beer, so to speak. At some point that entails more server costs which would eventually lean toward advertising for funding. Advertisers encourage censorship, so then the party ends and you're back to square one.

It is absolutely a chicken and egg problem, my issue was with the op's claim that this place is debate based. It simply isn't because it isn't populated enough yet. Comments make or break digg-a-likes. Right now, that needs to be greatly fomented to help this place grow.
