Okay, Guns and I were brainstorming and we thought that the major reason that most community timelines fail is that they are swamped by tons of newer users eager to create their own nations that more often than not are ASB, requiring the creators to make a cumbersome moderator system that, more often than not, does more harm than good. One of the main reasons that DD was successful was that it had a small yet skilled core group of contributors that could effectively communicate with one another to create a great timeline. Using that logic, we decided that it would be a great idea if we made a closed timeline with about 10ish contributors which would combine the best elements of community timelines and closed timelines (at least in theory).

Any thoughts?
