Building an Online Community: Just Add Water

Re:Building an Online Community: Just Add Water by metaprinter on Saturday March 19, 2011 @06:30PM (#2344931)

I interviews Matt back in December 2008 for my media blog (which has been totally neglected due to family, work and my fishing blog which actually makes money). http://blog.metaprinter.com/2008/12/metafilter-founder-matt-...

In that interview he specifically states that he tried lots of different approaches for commenting / regulation / non regulation etc.

EDIT: The most community involvement I get is when i give something away. The The regulars and base community utilize the forums and self moderate, though i need to regularly post content for them to discuss.

I actually stumbled upon your piece earlier this week - awesome.

I've been trying to dig up as much as I can on Metafilter precisely because Matt has had 12 years to try out various moderation/management ideas.

If you have the time, I would very much like to hear more about how you manage your community.
