By invite only do you mean that someone on the site already would have had to invite you to join? I think that would be an interesting idea. Perhaps it would have to be someone that already has earned a badge to give?
Thought it was you but maybe it was mk who said they were firmly against the elitist viewpoint that "invite only" communities lend. If hubski were such a community I would not be here. Neither would anyone who has ever stumbled across hubski via reddit. Growth would crater, I think -- something that what.cd is fine with (even welcomes), but that would destroy the entire culture you've worked so hard to create.
Yeah, it would be very difficult to do given that some people use Hubski as a comment section on their sites and blogs. How would their user base be able to join in the conversation? Plus, I certainly wouldn't want to miss out on more flagamuffin's; are there more flagamuffins out there? I think not. Happy New Year, I woke up feeling surprisingly rested for january 1st.
I'm packing up my house all day. -no es muy fun. But I'm about to go on the first of many runs this year. Woo-hoo!
