Social organization should be harder to solve than finding dark energy and higgs bosons. It's a massively complex problem. Walled gardens grow stale, progressive communities fall apart. That's the natural order of things. The best thing to do is make this process smoother. Have those magic members of the community leave earlier by starting new and better communities at a faster pace. Maybe you don't need to rewrite backends every time. Just modernize the look, add some features like autofollow based on friend follow graph and see if it works. Maybe just split the community into smaller groups, that occasionally trickle out into a central group, something that Digg 4 is attempting.
