"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'll jump on the *get back* bandwagon. But it's less about the stories than about community, for me. /. seemed to go downhill rapidly (for my taste) when Rob Malda left the helm. Site by committee gets the PC sticker of approval, but ... boring. There's something to be said for projects and sites with benevolent dictators.
So far I like the mix of stories, many of the comments have the scent of intelligent activity behind them, and I'll be interested to see how this site grows (and grows up).
Be well.
Time enough to sleep after I'm dead.
