    then i think your first priority should be to attract people to the site and not fiddle around with the deck chairs on the titanic so to speak

Didn't notice many new user migrations from Reddit before the spam-gate occurred, but growth was all the more stunted without allowing new users to post. Barrier to entry isn't welcoming, and even making a new account can be disheartening.

(Captcha bugged)

Hubski needs new blood more than anything.

I think we can remove the promote thing with this experiment. I'm not very fond of it.

Google captcha doesn't work at all. Our date thing works but the sync isn't good. I'll introduce a different one. Spam bots are the worst.
