It's still a tiny section of the forum. I do think you should do away with 80% of irrelevant content somehow. Here's Australia's biggest forum: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/ It's quite balanced, content vs labels.

What kind of awareness (or marketing) are you doing for that website? HN is one good start. For design, sorry, but your theme/UX sucks very badly. Lets start with the biggest problem; frontpage: It seems that your frontpage shows very littl

Should be expected according to who? Reddit doesn't have it, CNN doesn't, slashdot doesn't. Web IRCs do, but for good reason, it automatically logs the person out of IRC. If I wanted to open the website in a new tab, I press Control+Click.

A startup needs to understand that there's several stages to becoming the next big thing. The first and most important: Raising awareness. How can some users tell anyone if they haven't heard about it yet? How they not only raised awareness

I hope you include the subtle parts that help make it viral. For example, a media button that posts to friends: <Happy Programmer picture> "The Khan Academy of programming, try it!"

Domain names of course! And get a trademark or several. The latter has more leeway to the point of people blogging about losing their handlers on the online platforms due to trademark rules or something. Seek your own legal advice with Trad

Google's handling is pretty cold. They encountered a critical issue with having a social [human] network, their support isn't human. They prefer automation over everything. And that aim will keep biting them in the ass.

I think you mean their private Facebook inbox. They may already be limiting what they do on Facebook. But they can't clear the history thing. The potential "victum's fault" is still no excuse.

It would seem fine if there's oversight; is there a good oversight process in Canada against potential abuse? Otherwise, it's as irresponsible as allowing kids to drive with no supervision. Someone will sue the government for allowing it to

That's why photographers demand 10x the usual rate after publishment. It's still cheaper than the court costs. Business as usual.
