It's the quality of the community, not the quantity of members, that matters. Surely, you have a lot more experience than me on the "community" issues, but for me respectful conversation among members is just a common sense. And that is why we have leaders in different niches -- those who care about their communities, readership and so on (even if it requires sounding harsh sometimes). As for getting results in terms of page views, unique visitors and so on, I'm totally sure that those who breed their communities in a right way and create quality resources have much more earning potential, because they have trust, they have followers, they have authority after all.
