I used to use "stevesmusichub" and created it specifically to post music. I should get back on that. As for the Reddit guys, I agree with you that it is incredibly difficult to build an active community. It must help to not have a day job ;-) I can't imagine having that many accounts. It's hard enough having time being "thenewgreen".
Anonymity is a good thing for sensitive topics, I agree. I also like that I have no idea what the majority of Hubskiers look like but I do know what they are passionate about. I have more conversations with some hubskiers than I do some of my closest friends. -To that end, I too miss kb, he was an interesting dude. Remember when I thought you were alpha0?
I suppose its good to have accounts with that much regular traffic, and that level on engagement, but the dude lacked humility to the point of being comedic, not to mention his narcissism and persecution complex; no one is an expert on every topic, and I found his constant father-knows-best attitude toward every single conversation to be unbearable. I think the site is way cooler without.

Yeah, it's actually not his topical writing I miss, I'm just curious how he's doing. There were a number of things we had talked about that were of a personal nature and I'm curious how they turned out. I wish him well.
That said, I'm enjoying the crew we have right now on Hubski and some of the things going on: book club and the film club. Site is getting better all the time imo.
