Yes and no. This is the community's immune response. A couple of weeks after an influx of new users, the community stages a massive navel-gazing festival designed to test the new folks' mettle.
Once we shake off the people who don't really want to be here, we'll return to our usual diet of startup announcements, website reviews, complaints about techcrunch, artfully disguised attempts to reignite holy wars so that we can all spectate, and questions that have been asked every six months since the beginning of the site. Not to mention: news and information.

NOTICE: This has been an attempt at humor. Do not refer to it as a "theory", lest ye be mocked. Please phrase replies in haiku form.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoI disagree mech With the theory bit at least It sounds plausible
- mechanical_fish 18y agoYou're good. I saw the word "theory" and was getting ready to mock you! But in fact yours is a meta-comment about my so-called theory, and that is so in-keeping with today's theme that I should really upmod it twice.
- jmtulloss 18y agoI cannot be sure but it would appear to me this is not haiku :)
- mechanical_fish 18y agoPosting on iPhone hard enough; meta-replies exempt in that case ;)
- pasbesoin 18y agoDo as I say not As I do as I say not As I do say not
- Xichekolas 18y agobest part of your post "massive navel-gazing fest" it's human nature
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoa community experiences changes of course we fear this so we turn inward and ask ourselves the question what do we value? there is a story on overcoming bias about compromise when two cultures meet what do you give up and what do you get to keep?
- mechanical_fish 18y agofree verse, or did I just skim this too fast to see subtle hidden form? oh wait! i can't count can't judge my own rules while I sit in my rails class Man, typing haiku is a pain here; time for more meta-design? Nooooo!!!
