This is an inverse value to scale question. Think about your Rolodex. A thousand contacts, maybe 150 people you can call friends, 30 people you can call close friends, two or three people you'd donate a kidney to. The value is inverse to the size of the group. And you have to find some way to protect the group within the context of those effects.
I think this is a good description of the cellar. Thousands of lurkers, hundreds of posters, dozens of regulars, and a small handful that make the place hum. If I'm somewhere between 'poster' and 'regular', I'm happy with that level of affiliation. I also thank the Truly Hard Core for nurturing this place along.
