The relatively small city of Adelaide, Australia. We're towards the bottom of the country along the coast and despite constant sources of excitement and stimulation in the community I still love it!

Yeah sorry about that, I didn't see it beforehand.

I think change in community-orientated websites aren't all governed by the same factors since every site has different admins, users, aspects and content, so despite there being similar aspects between Reddit and Digg, I don't think its absolutely reasonable to use Digg's past to explain whats happenning to reddit at the moment.

I definitely think the only Reddit users who will be joining hubski will be the ones who wish to avoid the ever-growing meme based content, which will most probably be a good thing as these people won't bring the content with the them as they are just seeking a new community which is no longer inundated with teenage boys trying to gain meaningless karma.

When I went to see the Hobbit I definitely noticed a difference with it being filmed at 48fps, it seemed a lot smoother and different but not necessarily good or bad, just different to me and after the first half hour I stopped noticing it. So to me it wasn't really a big deal whatsoever.

I absolutely loved it. So many nods to classic who. I recommend watching it if you have the chance!
