So the only usefulness of this product is that it provides a feeling of nostalgia, and smug belonging? (Like you're cool now if you have a tilde.club page?) Thus we cannot invite lots of people to the tilde.club because... we're just too cool for them. I predict #Fail.

I think that it is useful for nostalgia, yes, and also as a small community. But its structure makes it inherently fragile and dependent upon a strong culture. As a result, as long as it is successful, I could see members taking pride in being members of a special, unusually great community.
