That's pretty disappointing, I wish the 5% limit or whatever the goalpost was had been mentioned from the beginning... It could have encouraged more "I'm here" type of replies, even if people didn't have anything else to add to the existing comments. Looking at the retweet+likes+replies numbers on the OTW Twitter account, it doesn't seem like the "engagement" ratio is all that much better over there with 23.9k followers either, but the account is staying open.

I added the feeds and would likely subscribe to a newsletter, but I feel let down. It was nice to see that so many people do actively pay attention to the dreamwidth comm, and now that it doesn't matter. Happy the feedback about board info was taken on-board though, that is good news.
