Well if mk is smart he will force a reduction of growth to a manageable level, when sites get too big (4chan, reddit, facebook ect) they tend to drown in their own poisons much like a yeast growth curve.

I guess you mean smart in the sense that people like us are satisfied. Smart is such an objective term but I totally agree.

but what's the cutoff number, the sweet spot of users? at what point does the community say "sorry, our userbase has got to its limit." And what if a user leaves? Ah, but now it's too late, every potential user has been turned away. It's tricky.
