Over here, I've been running a niche community for 3+yrs now on the FV, so I'm not totally receptive to your complaints & observations upon such, but that's just me. Also, I average at least a post per day upon other communities that I appreciate and want to support.

And I've already spoken ad naus. above about all this (did you read?), for goodness' sake.

Also, in terms of PJ-specifically, I love his efforts, hence why I sometimes initiate stuff like this:

Well, fuck me if that's some kind of impossible-to-achieve goal for participants upon a next-gen platform, based on the power of the people. In reality, in terms of other /c's, it just takes a few minutes per day, minimum. Dammit.

Mate, I don't mean to be totally rude, but it feels like you have a lot to unload upon, which is perfectly fair. And you make many solid points IMO. My personal suggestion is to take that right back to the top level of sublemmys like this, and you'd have every right to IMO.

I don't expect another response from you unless you have a specific question for me, thanks very much.
