This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.
Yes, but making an account is not arduous or complicated.
It’s just like how email in the 90s was seen as some insanely complicated thing only “whiz kids” could grasp. People will learn.
