After having a look and reading your interview with marketingstartups[1], it is quite an interesting idea. It strikes me as an evolved incarnation of Buzzfeed[2] in that the entirety of its content is user-generated, whereas this wasn't the case with Buzzfeed until recently, and even now, I believe user submissions are subject to moderation. I don't think you should give up yet. I wouldn't. I would start by simplifying the design (sure, it looks nice, but it feels over-ornamented), defining stricter guidelines for posting (e.g. encourage "Top/Best X" type posts in lieu of general free-form lists, and figure out other ways to start driving traffic to it. I wish you guys the very best and again, don't give up yet. PS: Please get in touch if you'd like to talk more. [1] http://marketingstartups.com/2012/12/18/interview-with-listn...

That's exactly what we're trying to make; a kind of Buzzfeed 2.0, where the "2.0" stands for improved functionality and quality of lists. That's our vision anyway.
I saw your site, looks very cool. Perhaps I could mail you our story?
