You know, I'm really of two minds about this. On one hand, I think the addition of new personalities could very likely enrich the community with new perspectives; at the same time, I've had a feeling since I've been around these boards that those attracted to such an on-line community would most likely eventually find it, through word of mouth or playing on the internet - or else they would find some equivalent group. It's interesting to think about, but I've not really had any feelings of stagnation above and beyond what I would consider to be largely unavoidable in such a medium. Perhaps it's from not being around as long as some. I certainly think that the same themes are going to continually present themselves in the various forums, but that's just life. Sometimes I find the wrinkles interesting, sometimes I don't. Etc.
