I am glad you see the benefits of maintaining a personal relationship with your community. You are right to say that moderators must understand and support the core values of the site. Keeping the personal touch as a site grows is a real challenge; but if successful your community will flourish and become stronger. Hi Bryan – thanks for your comment.

The challenge for any site is to maintain a personal feel- this is very hard to do as you scale a website. As a site increases in size, it's important to make sure people supporting the site understand the core values...this takes time. You can't just hire people- they need to be part of the community and want to shape the vision. Personal names are a great starting point. Martin, I couldn’t agree more.
