Well, I don't think it will be. But I love Babble anyway. You just won't get new posters who believe as I do. Particularly if you make them publicly viewable. I never would have decided to become part of such a place, I assure you.
But you could conceivably get many new posters who have different values.
Although, if something is already implemented on a site, people might not think about it. Unless they try to post an answer to a publicly viewable post and get a little message slapping their hands. So I still think you should make them nonviewable.
I still think you should consider nonviewable small or large boards because:
a) It would be less likely to cause that problem. and
b) Nikki has said that the major draw of the small boards would be to have a place to post that wasn't viewable by the entire internet. I'm sure that's true of many many people. So if you really want to increase numbers, giving a private board where they don't have to be afraid of their therapist or boss running across the site would probably bring a lot of new posters who may not even give a rat's derriere about the size or restrictions of the small group.
