Con: There aren't always people online who are active.

I still think I prefer a small kommunity, but it wouldn't hurt at all if this one grew a bit.

I very much dislike larger ones because it's harder to get into and seem like you're one of the normal people there... Even though this is the internet. I don't know how or why, but that's how I always see it. Every time.

Probably the main reason why I'm still here and didn't leave 2 years ago.

Agreed, it's very hard to get into.
Every time I start on a forum I'm very careful not to write anything useless, silly etc., because I think I'll get banned just for missing a comma. :P

Also, in bigger communities whatever you write is usually flooded very quickly. And you won't have time to read and reply to everything (it's hard enough on this forum). And contributing to a discussion about anything seems insignificant when your reply lands on page 803, 5 minutes before page 806 is reached.

Yeah, but this one is a little small. I could do with a few more active members, like a new atomic or so.

On the other hand, when you ask a question on a the Minecraft forums it gets answered within 5 seconds or so.

Yes, assuming it doesn't get buried within 4 seconds. :P
