Does this concern anyone else?
icey: The biggest thing that I've noticed is that it's becoming more and more rare that I'll recognize all the names in the comments.It used to be that you would go into the comments section and it was the same herd of people talking, which was really useful because you didn't have to judge every comment on its own. You had an idea of where most of the commenters were coming from because you'd read a lot of their other comments. You knew if they tended to get their point across with sarcasm, or that they were really working on a startup that was very similar.There are people here that I disagree with a lot of the time, but I have a ton of respect for their opinions because I know that they've always really thought about what they were saying and haven't just come in to stir up the pot.With all the new faces, people get concerned because they don't know all these people so you have to judge every comment on its own.In a way, it's like a favorite old bar suddenly becoming a hot night spot. The same people are still there, but there are all these other people. It's the same bar, but it's a different experience. Either all the new people will mesh well with the old people and it will be good for everyone, or they won't and the old people will find a new favorite place to hang out.The only certain thing is that it will never be the way it used to be again.
