Tempest In A... What's Smaller Than A Teacup?
Online communities are a tricky thing. They're notoriously difficult to manage, but once things get settled into a groove -even if it's an odd little groove with rules and mores known only to its participants and opaque to the outside world- things tend to move along more or less smoothly. And then someone comes along and fires all the volunteer moderators and things go haywire.
Such was the case with the Seattle LiveJournal community over the weekend. We're not going to pretend we know what goes on over there on a day to day basis, but apparently the poplular moderators were given their walking papers Saturday night in leiu of a new crowd. Alas, none of this is visable on the site anymore due to some quick-draw thread deletions, but if you could see into the depths of Seattlest's RSS subscription you'd see the action, the complaints and the 50,000 postings of tubgirl.
Gawk away at what remains and take a peak at what once was. If you were only home late Saturday night you would have seen it all go down live...
