I love the idea of the cults and thank you very much for putting it together for us, harvey.
Here's a few things that I noticed though:
1. If you look in the cult list, it's swarming and cluttered with alot of inactive cults. I liked your original idea on automatically weeding out inactive cults.
2. The number of users in a cult is off. When you boot a member it doesn't decrease the #. It stays the same.
3. Someone brought it up a little while ago about being able to mass message everyone inside of a cult. I thought this was a great idea. This way you can send out a notice to everyone in the cults without having to do it individually. Maybe just make the feature available to leaders in the cult?
