This is hardly a good example to all the aspiring startup folks on how to treat your users.
Perhaps the old guard/high karma users keep posting here in part because they know they have a large audience. What makes you think they would stick around if the site were walled off?
Edit: Removed the accusation of trolling, apologies for that.

This is about what the community wants and needs. pg and the other long-term users want the community to stay a certain way, hence this item itself; closing off that community to only those that participated in the development thereof will allow the community to remain where it is desired. > Perhaps the old guard/high karma users keep posting here in part because they know they have a large audience. What makes you think they would stick around if the site were walled off? The same thing that made them stick around when the site did not have a large audience.
