Here at Cogmap, we look at map creation and edits more closely than we look at page views to gauge site activity. That is only loosely connected with passion. Maps with multiple editors and high edit frequency, for us, represent passion in an area. Hmmm, I wonder what the metrics are to identify passion about a community?

Actually, what I am getting at is, "wouldn't it be great if it were that easy?" Tara is the authority. It sounds like the answer is you can't buy it. So RWW is out of luck. Obviously, the next question is can you hire your community? OK, that was tongue-in-cheek. I heart the Internet!

If so, you are bang on. ;) Volume does not equal community, but many people feel that it does. It feels like an application of old skool marketing valuation to a very grassroots phenomenon, which doesn't fit so well. If you have to buy your community, they aren't really your community.
