@korver’s comment covers most of what I want to say. Of your questions, 1 and 3 are easily worked around, and so it all relies on question two - content.

I haven’t got the time or energy to look at the circle you are a part of, but others with that nice ‘ten man’ feel I’ve seen posting on the similar topics, even with the same images at times.

By all means support your community, but save a share of stake for the new quality content too.
