The rate of growth at ADN might not have been what its founders hoped, but it was much faster than here. I think they had something like 10,000 people when they reached the funding deadline, which was only a week or two from opening up Alpha. At that point, you had quite a pool of people, all eager early adopters, and all had paid, so while there might have been some who didn’t play well with others, there was no spam, and relatively few trolls.
