WordPress.com offers unlimited users now on private blogs so you can turn your WordPress.com blog into your own blogging community.
The free limit of 35 users will be enough for most people but if you’re building a private site that will have a large community or you’re a large organisation buying this upgrade is the way to go.
Simply login and go to your Upgrades page where it can be purchased for $30/year.
This is very exciting for those who want to feature more than one blogger and have registered users on one blog, such as a small business, big business, hobbyist group, member association, or a bunch of family or friends. Currently, you can have up to 35 users for free on one free WordPress.com blog. Want more, it’s only USD $30 and the cap is removed from the limit.
Do you think you would use such a feature? Do you see a need?

What’s so special about 35?
Like you pointed out, I think it would be a great idea for communities out there. Whether for support groups, or general-recreational groups, it’s a great way to share information over the web, and with WordPress being so user-friendly, it should prove ideal.
35 isn’t a bad number, but like eric says, how’d the come up with that?
School class size.
Good idea, and way to introduce some income. Plus price is cheap enough for an organization or such to consider.
WordPress.com is really becoming a viable alternative to TypePad with the domain mapping option!
I know many people who got into blogging because of wordpress.
It really is much more flexible than other free blogging platforms.
Its a great platform, and because it is popular, it almost ia not difficult to get tips ( like here), or add-ons to what you want to do.
I think WordPress wants to be the next Typepad…
