Yeah, only thing missing are the amount of people but that's a problem that's being fixed every passing day.

I'm actually having a lot of fun watching this place grow! It feels like a smaller community, but I've watched it expand so fast in the past week. Now that we've surpassed 100,000 people it feels like we've reached the point of it having enough mass that it can sustain itself. Once we reach a million I really think we'll start getting more attention and at around 10 million we'll be approaching terminal velocity. People on Reddit have been wanting a good alternative, but are just afraid of losing the large community vibe. It's going to take time, but this week has felt like hope.

I just want enough people to have most popular/semi popular subs to have a decent number of conversation going. It doesn't need to get AS populous as Reddit is right now.
