The key , I think , is civility and everyone here seems to have it . 
As memberships grow it's important for newbies to understand what is expected of them . My only other mrr forum was RRL and I was about the 1000th member when I joined . It was a pretty cozy group and we had a lot of fun . It's over 5000 members now , I rarely post , and things are more of a challenge for the mods I believe .
My other major interest is old cars , particularly old Fords . There are numerous specialty sites for car enthusiasts but the biggest one has to be The HAMB which has 200,000 members , ( there is one post over there with 13 million views ! ) and only 2 moderators / admin that i can see . If there weren't so many interesting threads from very skilled and knowledgeable people , I'd probably pack it in because there seems to be a lot of negativity and back biting on a daily basis about one thing or another . I rarely post but there is a lot to read so I stay and lurk .
Too bad about the demise of other mrr sites . I was a late joiner to 2 guyz and there was very little traffic so I'm not surprised they decided to fold ...good guys , though . Wasn't on AMR or Atlas etc.

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
