I'm glad someone is pulling together this background story because it needs to be compiled and analyzed. From the time Prosper launched in February 2006 through the first Prosper Days in February 2007, members of the Prosper community largely got along with each other and with Prosper. Then things started to deteriorate for some mysterious reason. Within six weeks after Prosper Days 2007, for example, Prosper was kicking people off of the Prosper Forums (and correctly doing so, in my opinion) for bad behavior. The relationship between Prosper and its community have only gone downhill from there. The latest new low is this class action suit against Prosper. I hope the Anthropology Department of some major university is studying Prosper and its related community. There must be a wealth of knowledge here about how online communities come together and fall apart. “This background story has it all…”
