Why is this site invite only? - Harvey - 10-12-2013
If you want more activity and to expand the current memberbase, wouldn't it only be logical to open the doors to walk-ins? Is there any particular reason why SL is an invite-only board?

I assume it's so that we have a proper community.

Oni wants dedicated members. There's a backlog of spammers too.

I don't get why invite codes cost credits...

I didn't even know it was invite only...
...I do like quality, though, so I may come to like this better.

Invite codes cost, so people can't just post their codes non stop defeating the purpose of the invite only.

Most likely so the same spammer can't keep inviting himself over and over.
Once all of his spam accounts are caught he'll need an invite from an actual member.
It's most likely away to stop multi-accounting / ban-evading.

I really prefer this way, no newbies trying to RAT the community, no assholes trying to scam other, we know each other, who joins or gets banned, not a apocalypse forum, instead a really nice forum where I feel good.

A while back we started having an overflow of low quality members, and at the time Oni didn't have enough time to be deleting posts 24/7, so he made it invite only so that we had only dedicated members and we didn't get to huge.
