"although not typically two terms you think of together it is a true that it happens. A website is established, early adopters move in and fill it with quality content, word spreads on the goods of the site, less than stellar content submissions start to pour in, the early adopters move in and the website becomes wildly popular but no longer interesting for the reasons it was initially."

What's wrong with druggies? really though, I wonder can a website ever recover from gentrification? If we were talking real-estate the early adopters would move to a new place, but we all keep coming back here.

i guess the other option is invite only.

I think any website that is in public space is open for gentrification unless its a private invite only community.
I guess thats why people live in gated communities

Gmail is Invite only - doesn't stop everyone having one! If you had to register your IP address to create an account that would eliminate a lot of the ☠ bullshit posts. Of course, it's probably a privacy issue. Maybe QBN should charge a fee which is refundable on positive contribution, or after a certain amount of time of non-bullshit posting!
