Bear.It is not possible for any kind of organization to maintain the same personality as it gets larger, it's a natural part of any collective's life cycle, from a forum to a corporation, even a government. Eventually there comes a point where the forum will naturally split up into multiple factions, it is a bit like mitosis. This is good in the long run as it provides diversity, which creates more environmental resilience, it's the story of life really. Look at how the mammals came from dinoasurs/monosaurs and then when the former died out we got our first Big Break in the ecosystem. /mammal philosophy
