I was on a conference call. Once. We're having this discussion because of one word you just used: "apparent." I haven't said shit to denigrate new users. I've chimed in several times on new features and structuring for new users, for more users, for continued growth. I've never once taken the tack that Hubski should be left alone because it's plenty big enough - I always run new feature discussions through the filter of "what would this mean with ten or a hundred times the traffic. Search Hubski for "Vinod Khosla" and see what I mean. True - I generally stay out of the "Hello, Hubski I'm new" discussions because the obligatory "welcome" from every mother's son ends up being a thousand comments of zero content each. But the ones that ask questions? Check out Badge #100. That was from me to a new user that had never posted before. But right here: here's where we disagree. Explain to me how you aren't just making it harder for them to do that... if #newtohubski really and truly is accomplishing everything we collectively want it to. And if it isn't, shouldn't we improve #newtohubski instead of developing something else in parallel?Yes, there should be a barrier to entry that stops shitposting and users with, as you said, no intent of integration, adaptation or patience. But those people will self-select out rather quickly, by nature of the site.
