I think that while the influx might be tiresome to many, it will definitely pass. Those who don't suit the site will probably get bored after a week or two. Hubski has kept my attention for two months now exactly because people are at the center of the community. So those who try to care about the people behind the posts, are the ones who will stay.

I really like the bar analogy. If you want to be a part of the regulars, you have to get to know them. Sooner or later those who sit alone and only talk to the barkeeper (who only come for the content) will go away, because there are better places for that.

I completely agree with everything you wrote. I'm glad you're around pal, but you'll always be asdveen to me :)

Thanks. If it's up to me you'll be seeing my username more often in the future. For me it's just a name, and in the minimalistic spirit, shorter is better. Besides, nobody could spell it right!

Actually, I appreciate it. @AnSionachRua@ Took a long time for me to figure out how to spell by memory.

Edit: See what I mean, I actually have no idea how to properly spell that.
