An interview with the Ravelry developer. In short: In less than 3 years, Ravelry grew from zero to 70,000 users a day. They did it with one developer, and today, they only need 7 servers to support that load.
There are many more stats, and some good stories in the interview, but the question I pose for you is this: has your world and your products changed that radically, that quickly, and with so few resources in the last three years? If not, why not? The tools are there, and freely available, to let you do it.
One more tidbit: The original site was built in less than 6 months using only nights and weekends.
