Whales vs True Fans (and dolphins and minnows)

@fight_happy

So how do you grow True Fans?

Start with your biggest assets (listen, communicate back with consistency and frequency, and empower and promote their work):

• alliance leaders
• content makers
• moderators
• beta testers

once you have early fans on board, provide them with the support and appreciation they need and deserve, and then get out of the way and let them build a community. (Obsessed: How Superfans Took Over the World)

I present forum nobility.

The #1 thing that ever happened to Empires is Beta Beat, and I am including Atlantis Rising as #2 on that list and the setting up of an Empires and Puzzles forum as #3 ( 4 to 10 are our great forum staff, moderators, and content creators).
