Ever been involved in a project that spent loads up front to only find it flop soon after launch?
It happens all too often with online communities. People and organisations spend so much time and money with perfection to only find that their users want something completely different.
Consider starting a simple online community, get a few key and enthusiastic people involved at the beginning and allow them to help you evolve the community in a way that makes all of you happy.
You spend less. Your founding community members feel more involved. Results in an all around winning formula.
