"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."

    I like the stuff that matters slogan. Science, business, technology, major political events from any nation that would be of interest to an international crowd should all be fair game in my opinion. Let the community decide with a "firehose". We should call it something different though. I did like being able to vote on what stories should be on the front page.

      I like it. The Ministry of Truth could also be a good name for it. Maybe this could be a poll?

    My preference would be "Purgatory".
