What will happen when Fluther becomes REALLY big?

Asked by Mtl_zack (6778points) September 16th, 2008

I see a great future for Fluther. I see it as a growing database for many ideas and thoughts and whatnot. However, growth requires fresh, new ideas, and in fluthers case, fresh new members. I can see Fluther as one of the top websites getting many reviews in many magazines and newspapers. This will draw a lot of attention to the site, which will draw many new members. And with many new members, comes many new annoying repeat questions. with new members, the banning of inappropriate users like zack will be harder and more rude questions will be asked and spelling and grammar will go out of control.

What I propose, is, when Fluther becomes too big, we create a Fluther Classic, where only the people who are used to the cozy environment before the annoying newcomers who violate the site with repeat questions can stay and retain their love for providing information.

Lets say, there is a big interview or event that is supposed to attract a lot of attention. What we should do is say, “everyone who was here before this day, join Fluther Classic”, therefore, making it possible for newcomers to arrive and ask questions on Fluther Mainstream, and veterans to provide answers in both Mainstream and Classic.

I don’t know about you guys, but I like what we have now, and I’m afraid that its gonna get trashed when Fluther gets too big. Lets do something about it.
