"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."

To describe what I'd like to see here is too broad a question. I think it would be better to tell everyone that the way my brain works is like a perpetual loop of - what if such a thing could be accomplished - that bleeds into - how to make it happen. That being said, it has always been the /. community that helped keep me grounded - with the exception of a few tards sprinkled here and there. All in all I like it when it's like peer review gone buck wild; like a thesis defense where you can really say what's on your mind!
Just one question, what's the equivalent to the Slashdot effect going to be called? The Soylent effect just feels awkward - I keep seeing bodies wrapped in sheets being dumped from garbage trucks.
If anyone replies, I won't be back for a few hours.

I think we have a long way to go before we have enough users that we need to worry about *that*.

Being Soyled, or Soyling a site. Recommended in an earlier article that I don't quite recall ATM.
If only I registered 3 users earlier....
