Honestly, you can say this about any website in terms of "looking slick" and "having features" are nothing compared to good site management, good content and participation, and if it's a paying site, people willing to PAY.

All the bells and whistles are quite worthless if the site is never updated, has no core user base or relies too much on the "bells and whistles" without focussing on what the particular "audience" wants.

I've seen many a featured-packed website that seems to have everything going for it, but the inexperience or lack of committment from the site staff is always its downfall, and even if they HAVE experience and commitment, it takes literally years to get a good following.

No, doesn't bother me a bit. I say, "Bring it on!"
