Way back there were less users and less interactivity. Unless the site admins are rich and benevolent it's not really a scaleable solution these days. I'd love to be proven wrong, of course.
The site will have to scale because there will be too much traffic for the servers operate effectively. I suppose they could refuse new members at a certain point ,but that's counter productive in my opinion.

Why do we ought to scale though? I'd be perfectly happy with Snapzu having the character of a medium size subreddit.
