My dad was tall, and I'm pretty tall (not tall enough to be in the club, though- flat 6 feet). There are certainly disadvantages that most regular sized folks just don't understand, but shortened lifespan is one thing everyone gets right away.
It's easy to start thinking inside the proverbial box of your niche/industry when building communities. Lessons from such curious cases let you see why people come together in an entirely new light.
One thing you do not speak about is the sustanability of the group. Why has has it lasted so long? Will it survive the next year? 5? 10? What can be done to increase the logevity of such specialty groups with waning activity? I guess a topic to follow up with would be how to keep afloat once established. From the inception to now groups and group mentality has changed, so what is that common denominator? Can it be fixed once recognized?

thanks for sharing andrew, i don't think i knew that! that's a pretty massive disadvantage
If there's one thing that I want to do more of, it's living.
Absolutely love the Community Breakdown format!
