I want to see this website be a tremendous success.

How bout everyone pitch in some ideas they believe would achieve the following:

1. Increase traffic/coversation/interactions
2. Increase memberships
3. Encourage a more "inviting" atmosphere

I'll go first. I'm not sure exactly how the moderating process works here or what goes on behind the scenes with moderators, but me personally, I'd like to see it evolve further from the "censorship" end of the moderation-ometer to a more "moderated when brought to attention and someone's obviously out of line rather than they misspelled a word" end of that same meter. (I'm being fecisious but it at least implies a point)

Andy Taylor of Mayberry was a great sheriff bc he didn't ACTIVELY SEEKN OUT AND SEARCH FOR CRIME (Mistakes or minor infractions) but rather, he addressed what was obviously there to maintain peace, harmony and communal happiness. Same is said for great sports officials. Its a much greater game to play and watch when officials make the big obvious calls and dont nitpick little things that only disrupt the game and more importantly dont affect the outcome. Had Barney Fife been allowed to write a ticket every time someone Jay walked, everyone would eventually leave Mayberry and Barney, and those like him, would be all that's left. And they wouldn't be happy.

What are some other good ideas???
