I'm not trying to take away from your hard work I'm just trying to understand this.

May have to do with the same reason I locked mine down and went to invite only. If the community expands too fast you can quite quickly outgrow your hardware. I got up to over 30k registered users in less than a year and a half. If you can't afford to get more horsepower behind your site, it does not make much sense to keep adding users if the site performance deteriorates for everyone. If you can keep your growth managable it may make things more predictable and allow for better planning and such.
That would be my guess.
