I really do understand the drive for quality. I don't mean to belittle it. (I've had my concerns in the past, too.) But neither your (A) nor your (B) really cover what CureZone is. It's part (A), part (B), and several other parts that you've left out.

How about (C): A great place to learn more about differing viewpoints in the alternative medical community, from simple cleanses to the truly bizarre, with Support Forums for virtually every health-related topic, plus lively debate areas and personal blogs that run the gamut from insightful to laughable to alien.

(Without saying what constitutes "bizarre" or "laughable" or "alien" leaves the mystery open to interpretation but not a surprise when uncovered.)

To me, CureZone isn't a community, it's a meta-community. Each support area is its own community (although there is a lot of cross-over). The Debate Forums area is another community (hard though that may be to believe). Blogs are the expression of the individual, not really a community thing (although open to discussion and perhaps strengthening or weakening various communities).

Given that the basic premise behind CureZone is personal responsibility, I find it relevant that one needs to assume responsibility for finding the diamonds in the rough among the rubble. Sending someone to CureZone only to have him enter the Politics Debate Forum as his first choice and decide quickly that CureZone isn't for him just tells me that the guy really wasn't into it in the first place.

If someone is really doing this for himself -- which is the only way this works -- he'll fight for it.
