Maybe I'm just perverse. But while I wasn't too crazy about the idea of change, I'm also not crazy about the idea of limitations.
I suppose the sheer volume, given the volume of the board right now, does bother me a bit. Yet the idea of putting a numerical limit also bothers me, for some reason.
I suppose my thought is that not all will have issues that will draw them to any one board. They'll probably have differing degrees of comfort at jumping in vs tiptoeing in. As others have mentioned, they may or may not find Babble all that engaging for various reasons.
Or maybe my anxiety just wars with my feelings of obligation to be hospitable and welcoming.
It seems a bit unfortunate that this will happen before Dr Bob had a chance to get around to some of the housekeeping he's discussed over time. The closing of some boards, and trying to fix the issues regarding Newbies. The setup is a bit confusing, and given the low volume on some boards, it could be a bit less than welcoming as well.
