Hi Denise
There's a chapter in Design for Community (http://designforcommunity.com/) that may be of interest: "Killing your community". It's been out for a while, but could be useful.
All the best Rachel

Dear Air-ers -
I was trying to recall a paper given at Toronto that viewed the life & death of an online community. I believe it was called Everquest???? but now I'm not sure.
Anyone who presented at Toronto on the life & death of an online community would you be so kind as to give the name of your paper here or send it to me off list.
I am using it to illustrate the impermanence of online communities - any other references to 'off-line' or dead communities would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Denise
