That's exactly what I took from it, as well. I figure that in smaller communities, there's that much more of a responsibility on each person to create the kind of community that they want to be a part of. I think that's fair. It just might be the kind of challenge that is both fun and rewarding. Thanks for the thoughts.
Yep, I've never moderated anything (on reddit) before, but I've decided to pitch in some time and try to get a few of the niche communities started up. I may be posting stuff into a space no one but myself visits for a long while, but hopefully someday when someone does show up they'll stick around.
