So the thing is there's a huge opportunity for event driven communities. The whole concept of communities like this or Texags is largely going away because the younger more tech enabled and savvy users want more real time engagement without contributing themselves (feeds and shouting into the void) no one wants to put the effort into creating content, because it's harder than just reading a bunch of big Twitter accounts saying the same shit as you think.
Echo chambers and group think and people having uniform opinions is really what's leading to the demise of online discussion and discussion based sites. It's also extremely difficult to remain anonymous online and putting out real thoughts and viewpoints is extremely high risk for portions of the population that are in positions that are sensitive to that kind of stuff getting out there.
There are many people who want to give money to this site, other causes etc but want to maintain their anonymity. It's one of the biggest questions I get. How can I donate without anyone finding out who I am. I've been doing 5 minutes of daily content for autograph and engagement there is low even though it shouldn't be - they are doing a pretty good job with what they are trying to build and it just goes nowhere because there just isn't an overwhelming amount of content that automatically gets shoved into your face.
