For awhile. As usual, I found Wiki just before the downswing. As readership/contributors went up, quality went down. Flame wars ensued. Meta-wiki discussions about the nature of Wiki itself consumed the community. I did what I thought was natural: with the help of Clifford Adams, I precipitated the formation of a separate wiki, MeatballWiki, precisely to talk about meta issues of online community. And I did it not just for the sake of abating the flame war. I realized that online communities have been the one constant interest in my last ten years of computing.
