There's been a lot of talk over the history of mud-dev (and of late) about
the maximum size a community can attain, but how about minimum sizes?
At what point do you cease to have a real community and revert to a couple
of people who are friends or acquaintences governed by multiplepersonal
interactions, rather than an group entity governed by social dynamics?
Thoughts? Experiences?
