Do you think that we (the community) are doing enough to bring in new users to LessWrong?
I'm not sure whether we should be going more for quantity or for quality, but I think we're either not doing enough to bring in new users or not doing enough to make sure the users we bring in are the right ones.

How can we change that? Do you have any particular strategies in mind?
I was reflecting the other day about how I learned about LessWrong. As best as I can recall/retrace, I learned about LessWrong from gwern, who I met in the #wikipedia IRC channel via an essentially chance meeting. I'm wondering how typical my experience is. How did you come to LessWrong?
EDIT: Optional follow-up question: Do you think that we (the community) are doing enough to bring in new users to LessWrong? If not, what do you think could be done to increase awareness of LessWrong amongst potential rationalists?
