"I'm rather excited to get going with Soylent and to watch it grow. Nay, help it grow. I have lurked in /. for more than a decade (note: I'm not the same username over there, I know, how sneaky), and always wished I could have been involved with the beginning. So this is a great opportunity, and I joined as soon as I saw what Soylent was doing. Not to mention the fact that I felt right at home with the old style. It's very comfortable.
So here's a question for everyone. Are we going to be the same as slashdot? A clone that focuses as entirely as possible on tech related news? Or will we branch out to other topics? I'm interested to see either way. I posted a comment to this effect in one of our two existing polls, and it may be a community-wide assumption, but I do think it merits a discussion."

(Assuming I clicked on the right /. link, and I'm not completely offtopic...)
I'm not sure a math model would've been needed to predict the Beta uprising -- that seemed to play out almost as a textbook example of how to alienate your userbase :)
That said, I'm loving the fallout from it, having all these new sites to visit daily, it's like 1993 all over again. </nostalgia>

I was actually thinking about the references in TFA to food riots :-|
