Quora was always a 'club' and not a 'community', that's why it sort of can't grow... clubs are meant to be exclusive, when they grow there's always 'this place was so much cooler before', I guess an actual community won't care because it will provide ways for people to contribute that brings up the whole community, with a purpose and value enjoyed by everyone in it, that's an ecosystem that can grow. If someone contributes to Rails core, nobody will care if the dude lives in a nudist community in Camboja smoking pot and doing OSS code naked everyday. It's structural.
