thank you. i'm with @meno and i honor and respect your communication & transparency!
i am also hoping that other front ends like @steempeak, @busy, @partiko, and other dApps that are coming out with incredible developments daily come to the fore as steemit.com falls away (and also looking forward to your new dApp too @ned, but we as of yet don't know too much about it.) It's an incredible time for essential die-back and to see what rises in its place.
I know there has to be many of nerds like myself playing @steemmonsters at least a five games a day to do their daily quest, I see that game having the ability to drive it's own little community off the Steem blockchain.
that's a great point. and i'm a nerd there right along with you! i love that game!
To add to the community aspect, we need lot more than "text". Games & other types of "consumable content" will drive usage.
