I wish I knew.. I've seen the behavior you've described, but others tell me it doesn't happen.

Those that want swearing and hookers can gather on an instance allowing them. Those that do not can avoid communities that do. Its a win for everyone.
The more instances catering to different sensibilities the better.
I agree, watched it the other night not expecting much due to RT rating etc. But it had more character development than most blockbusters, story was ok... if not a little predictable, effects were decent, and it had a good sense of humour. Well worth a watch... just don't go in expecting something worthy of an oscar.
Streaming providers are known to have different bitrates in different regions.
Have a specific name in mind?
A classy response to a less than classy move.
In summary: Swearing in titles: fuck no. Swearing in comments: fuck yes! :)
Pretty much this..
I'd rather not create communities that sit empty and unused. If you have a specific uni in mind, suggest a community name and I'm happy to create it. I want to avoid the problems seen on some other instances relating to hundreds of empty communities.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, I had no idea about 88->HH etc. Your seemed like a genuine question. Was the BTTF 88MPH a nazi reference?? Changes the entire series if it is.
On the point of being unsustainable I disagree. Instances will need to find an equilibrium between cost/expense and retention of old content. The higher the revenue/cost tolerance, the older the content that can be retained. I expect most instances will end up purging non-local content after an amount of time, but retain local content as long as possible. Maybe I'm naive, but I have confidence that people smarter than me will come up with systems to do this. It may result in a usenet style setup where instances boast about their retention periods.
On your second point re: community contributions, I agree entirely. I've been very fortunate that there have been some generous donations from aussie.zone users, so I'm not worried about server costs at this point. Server costs will go up as data volumes increase, that is unavoidable. How the community decides to handle this in the future is the real question, based on what I've experienced so far I'm confident we'll be around for a long time to come.
