A successful community on the web. James Thornett is musing on such things and presents us with this gem:

Registration takes incentive away from busy people with good stuff to say and it instead encourages a troll environment.

True. The number of times I’ve not bothered to comment because of a login, even when I’m already registered, is numerous. He also goes on to look at the difference between communities of purpose and communities of interest.

    Interesting article. Scottish Blogs (wot I run) died last month and I want to resurrect it but do it much better! Great ideas in here.

    And the registering thing is bad, there are a few blogs that I still read but never comment on for precisely that reason.
