What we really need is to bring in more users, said its biggest problem is it has just over 6k accounts with maybe a few hundred being active for more then a few days

I was part of a forum once that thought bringing in more folks was the best idea ever; the forum went from about this size, maybe a little larger, down to nothing. There are some really dank, and dark spots on the web... lol

I think marketing is good when coupled with strong growth, but it takes participation from all to do that by way of good, or original content. I like the idea of steady organic growth.

No matter, I'll be here to see the experiment; I hope it thrives for all.

Yeah exactly. I would MUCH rather grow slowly with quality users, than quickly with low-quality users.

There is a way to balance both. Thats part of what was great about reddit in the golden years. it was a place you could discuss a variety of different topics with people of various levels of intelligence and then pop into a few of the crappy reddits to roll around in the shit for a little while.

Keeping those users around but contained was what reddit failed at and restricting content and speech is the only way they can deal with the fallout of what they did.

Reasonable debate can coexist with retarded hate filled vitrol as long as the boundaries are clearly drawn about what belongs where and what the limits are.

everybody hates something and though we can personally make decisions and opinions on what is acceptable to hate and what isn't. Everyone deserves an outlet for verbal expression of that hate.

i think it is far better choice to just keep them off the front page and keep them contained in their communities, but let them exist for the freakshow appeal.
