Quo vadis Domina? – The price of success

Remember when the sister site MF so hated by some was about to die and Domina was hoping to take the torch and become the new and improved MF 2.0?
There were differences and many here were seeing them as pluses:
- MF was barely getting by as software, while Domina was brand new and well administered;
- MF was self-governing while Domina was moderated;
- Most of the posters at MF were men, a much greater percentage of Domina posts came from mistresses;
- MF was looking like having survived multiple world wars while Domina looked like a proof of concept;
- MF had a New York accent while Domina had a Southern drawl.
What happened since? Things did not work as expected. It was mostly a muddle through by both sites, resulting in a convergence where they do not differ that much, and this might be a good thing. As the general climate towards SW became more hostile there is a little safety in numbers and duplication.
But what if Domina got everything it wished for when it started? (be careful what you whish for).
Let’s make a nice thought experiment or Gedankenexperiment and let’s think that MF would disappear, and Domina get all the MF users then some. What it would look like?
It would look like a site with a lot more traffic, a lot more posts, and a shifting culture. You have to remember, there was a time MF was new and it was moderated many years after.
The biggest change would come from the composition of the crowd. What gave Domina its distinctive flavor was a very high ratio of women to men, maybe 1 for 10. As the number of members would increase it would eventually reflect the real BDSM population at large, maybe 1 for 50 to 1 for 100.
Out of that 100 men maybe 10 would ask provocative questions, and 5 be troublesome for the simple uncomplicated souls believing in female supremacy as the one size fits all for all aspects of BDSM. Not all the women would be moderators, and those who are would have their hands full. The well managed well behaved zoo would risk turning into a jungle.
So what would Domina look like? Like MF with more reliable software. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
