I think the biggest problem of getting larger is that you don't get the same chance to build a sense of relationship with other people on the site. For example, there was a time when I probably read every single one of Jiminy's postings but I suspect I miss some of them now.

All in all though, I think it is positive to have a constant stream of new people and a good number who stick around. Even with larger numbers, there is still a sense of getting to know people while fresh faces mean that the site doesn't get bogged down with in-jokes that put newcomers off.
