SomethingAwful has been smaller than Reddit since 2007. It's a lot older, though. They charge you ten bucks in order to get you to value your account - and as a result, their community has stayed tight-knit and coherent.

Every tweakage Reddit has experienced in the past 5 years has been SA busting Reddit's chops. Quality matters so much more than quantity.

You gotta love the SA model. If someone ends up being a real jerk, they get can get banned and lose their $10, too bad, do not pass go.

And then pay for an unban and possibly be again as well. This can go back and forth for a while, right up till someone gets permabanned.
