Yeh, we could, but it is a tough thing to do - not technically, but believe it or not, we really do try to keep it open. By closing it off, we might not have the next person we enjoy meeting ever sign up. We just need to find the proper balance, and that's the tough thing to do...
We need to grow but we don't want to grow fast, whenever that happens and we have one of these bursts or members, things tend to get squirelly and hopefully we can then find the balance again.
If we close it off, it becomes stagnant, if we flood it, a lot of the long time regulars get turned off (there are people that have been here for years), in the middle is that hard balance to strike...
But we DO have a good lot of people here and that makes it worth while...
