Noise scares people away.
As your community grows, members will leave because of the noise. It’s a good case against indefinite growth.
A solution is to highlight and amplify the good stuff (the signal).
Round-up the best posts and discussions of the day. Identify the most important decisions to be made. State the single most important thing a member can do for your community that day.
Make it simple for time-stricken members to feel like members without committing an ever-increasing amount of time each day.
Hi Rich, again interesting how big isn't better in your last two posts. Kind of a turn off you know. I have read some very interesting posts on your blog, but the last two are just strange noise to my ears.
