The term "vocal minority" springs to mind. Those commenting aren't the people we're wanting to attract anyway and the crew running Zam have been in the game long enough to realize that way more people read articles than comment on them. If a bunch of people who don't take the time to look into what we're about instead of going "Hurr RP lol" and slapping their dicks against each other don't like us then that's no real loss to us.
However, in looking over the comments I don't see anything to worry about. I really haven't seen anything truly mean-spirited in the whole 8 replies thus far. As far as responses go, I'd advise caution. As I said, I really don't think that there's much negativity at all, just a little light prodding...and hell, we poke fun at ourselves in worse ways than I've seen in what's there. If we get a bunch of RPC members posting essentially the same information (and I think Brin did a good job in his post, with little that needs expanding on) it just makes us look like we're all butt-hurt over some fairly innocuous comments.
The interview was good for what we're needing at this point. Frankly, I think the lack of the truly vitirolic comments is a very positive change given some of the responses I've seen to RP posts on the Zam boards in the past. At the end of the day, there's really not much to comment on in relation to the article. I think most who would read it who would be interested in it won't post. They'll read it, go "oh, cool" and move on, possibly making a mental note to watch for an announcement when we do settle on a server.
Pageviews are the true measure of an article's success, which we don't have access to.
