Interview: Ask SoylentNews Staff Anything

from the no-really-do-it dept.

By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.

We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.

In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

    Toppling the ruling class ought to do it.

    Taking down those with 2 digit UID's would probably be a good place to start.

      Ah if you had a three digit UID like us old timers, you'd have gotten the joke. Noobs these days. Now get off my lawn.

        Imagine how disappointed I am, that I came so close to UID 1024.

          There was very close attention to the UID progress - 1024 was in demand, and probably went within a fraction of a second of 1023.

            He said over here [dev.soylentnews.org] that he had the page loaded and filled out and was ready to go. At first, I believed that.

            Then I noticed that the comment where he revealed the origin of his success is... #1337.

            Be careful, folks. Ol' KibiByte is the man, behind the man, behind the man.

    I knew we should've made Jack-booted Thugs a launch-critical feature request.
