Moderation is typically the thing that doesn't scale. I am not sure it's a solvable problem (see reddit, stackoverflow, youtube, quora, etc. for negative examples and anti-patterns.) Often sites start out great and then degrade when they become popular. My main recommendation was going to be organizational: to cooperate and work with arXiv itself, rather than risking a potentially adversarial or competitive relationship. Now that I think about it however, I am convinced by a peer comment that was basically "leave arxiv the way it is and don't mess it up." So carry on then.
