Jyte won't petrify the way Everything2 did.

What does petrify mean in this context? Will its data be carved into stone tablets, or perhaps stored on a silicon-based media such as semiconductors? I'm under the impression that Everything2 stores its data in a a database with the usual disk storage, and doesn't use an agressive RAM-based caching system such as used by Google or Livejournal, so you probably don't mean silicon.

"Petrify" in this context means: Jyte won't turn into a big stack of predefined terms to which most new users won't really be able to contribute. (See also Wikipedia.)

I wonder if too much "community" causes the petrification. Maybe multiple communities instead of one community would be better. If Jyte reaches a bigger size, it may happen naturally: nobody will be able to read all claims anymore. The community will split in multiple communities, organized around interests or groups.

i think it will petrify exactly the way everything 2 did, which is: not, actually.
