What it says on the tin, really. I think this is going to be an issue when they get around to the smaller communities... It's going to suck majorly, as most people's default will remain with reddit for community discussion like this...

Most social media runs by the 90/9/1 rule. 90% of users lurk, 9% of users post, 1% of users produce content.

I'm hoping that this house cleaning changes those numbers up some.

I know that a lot of people are afraid to post. They may not believe that they have anything interesting to say. And they may not trust their ability to write coherently. Some of you folks are intimidatingly good at writing insightful posts and making it understandable to everybody.

Maybe with a smaller community we can encourage more people to take part and, paradoxically, become more diverse.

I'd also like to encourage everybody to attempt to post something interesting. A pet theory. A reinterpretation of a scene. It doesn't really matter. You can only get better by doing and we all benefit from new ideas. Don't be afraid to sound like a fool. It's kinda my default state and I'm still here.

How about we post some of our favorite quotes from the series? Here's some of mine :p

“Use the force, Kirk.”

“Help me, Spock. You’re my only hope.”

“Beam me up, Skywalker!”

“This isn’t the Data you’re looking for. Move along.”

“To boldly go where no Jedi has gone before”

“You’ve never heard of the Enterprise? … It’s the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.”

“Set sabers to stun!”
