Maybe those earlier efforts didn't because it was too connected to the rest of the community? A completely different place to discuss "nothing but" may be what was needed and if the earlier efforts had more direction, maybe they would have seen continued adoption. It's pretty easy to get distracted on Reddit after all so complete self-study may not have been very effective. I hope this does take off and incorporate the best of those.
