In the last two weeks, we have doubled in size. Today we hit 30 active users. See the stats here (which averages):
Right now, we are getting around 25-30 active users per day. That is a lot of growth for just two weeks. I think we can expect it to continue. This also will with growing pains.
Especially if you are new, please understand we work differently that other sites you may have joined This site is not a debate club. It is a place where we are trying to do something better than run in circles on the same arguments as always. You may not agree with common descent. Fine. At some point, we just have to accept that I disagree and drop it. Let us find some places of common ground to work from instead.
As I wrote here recently…
This is going to take everyone’s help.
For the moment, I’m glad about your recent burst in users, but I am also sympathetic to the disruptions it has caused. Especially if you are one of the people injured over the last couple days, please accept my apologies. Please do not give up on us. I want to assure you that our goal is to remain the same place of dialogue we have been. I expect that there will be some disruptive people who join us, but we are going to be more proactive in managing this in the future.
I hope that is understandable and agreeable to everyone. Thank you again for being part of this community.
