"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."

    This is the sort of thing I'm really interested in too. Over the past couple of years, I mostly said "hah, kewl" if anything to the subjects on /., and found very little actual substance. I'm actually a liberal arts guy (don't shoot!), but I have tech running through my veins. Seeing it co-opted (or as you said, effectively re-co-opted) the way it is really stings, and I'd like to see more discussion about ways to avoid it.
