I think this is a direct result of Snapzu's current scale. Many people actively participate in /t/lounge, but there is only a handful in specific tribes — particularly the new ones. A tribe needs a certain critical mass before the discussion starts flowing.
So, Snapzu needs to grow, and we need to have faith in that the system keeps self-regulating to keep the unavoidable asshat population in check.

Judging by this entire thread, it doesn't sound like a lot of community agrees that Snapzu needs to grow and that they want it to stay small and insular.
I don't think that this post, thread, or any other aspect of the conversation has to do with growth at all. I've been here barely three weeks, the community is in a constant state of growth, and I always go out of my way to make users feel welcomed and positive about the new experience. Extrapolating some sense of resistance to growth from a set of opinionated comments seems uninformed.
