I am definitely watching this one with great interest!
As a niche, it's very similar to LeoFinance, in terms of "making sense and being clearly defined," which is the go-to starting point for a community, as far as I am concerned. And yes, it's nice to see a genuinely diversified team.
I believe we have a number of potentially outstanding communities already here (SportsTalk, Foodies, NaturalMedicine, Creative Coin, STEM Geeks, CTP and others) that have mostly suffered because they've lacked in the technical/development skills area. Developing a unique free-standing identity takes more than enthusiasm and spreading the word... it ALSO takes technical, programming and usability expertise. LeoFinance is the standout example because so much has been built from the ground up... rather than just putting "fancy dress" on a Hive clone and considering yourself "done."
How much does that matter? Again, take LeoFinance — the custom front end is so well done that it gives people a REASON to post from the community page rather than just flinging tagged posts from PeakD. To market a niche externally, you have to offer something...
But definitely watching CineTV with interest!

That was a major part of Leofinance's success. The fact that they were able to build a front end from the ground up is vital.
We are now seeing some of the results of that.
It will be a challenge but there are many options. It is time to up the ante for the tribes.
