It was done with Acacia probably to the greatest extent of any sort of attempted organization in the history of this biz online
I think people will always rally behind leaders who can communicate a vision people will buy into. This industry does not have many of those people. Whether jts been webmaster health insurance or fighting patent trolls or even the FSC, there is never leadership or a clearly communicated vision that people can get behind. Acacia was probably the closest this industry came and it's only because so many people got a legal threat in their mailbox. No other threat is tangible. The benefits to fighting intangible threats are both hypothetical and intangible.... which is why effective communication, charismatic leadership and a clear, well communicated vision and benefits are particularly critical. Adultking for example posts long lists of sites he's shit down. Yet no one is saying "wow, my sales are really picking up" ... that is the second biggest problem of his fight, no matter how "right" it might be.
