"Our most active threads (no BS) are tweeted to alert the people that might not be checking us everyday as to what is being discussed."

"...are tweeted.." That is an interesting bit of grammar/phrasing.
Max ..are we privy to who is doing the 'tweeting'? Are you? Is it just a few members? Is is some of those 75% you say who are NOT members? Not having used Twitter, I am not sure just how it works.
   I have no notion that my participation OR opinion will affect how this goes in any way, but this latest bit of 'stuff' that has appeared is about the 1st time in 13 years that I have had any concern about stuff that has been added.... and a few other long-term members also are not sure.
You say at one point, Max, to just 'trust' your ability to make sensible decisions and know what will work and to do what's best for Mudcat...etc. In one sense, we have little choice, but we ARE always concerned and always appreciate explanations. In the same way, you should trust us to be aware and knowledgeable about some aspects of this strange new medium that has transformed our lives. We are always concerned that the benefits of changes should outweigh the hazards and awkwardnesses...and Mudcat being what it is... *grin*... we will always offer our opinions.
Cain't hurt...might help.
