I can no longer sustain the level of activity needed to run SoylentNews, and so I have resigned as leader.
In the end, I was literally begging people to step back and let the site "just run" for a few days while I caught up... alas, to no effect. Issues must be resolved "right here and right now" continuously throughout my day with no end in sight.
NCommander has taken over as project lead - he has access to everything from the registrar down. I understand he has a different vision for the project, which will soon be revealed.
I'm sorry to leave like this, but there's really nothing for it. I'm going back to my AI studies, which happen at a more leisurely pace.

(And yes, this was an amicable transfer of power. There's no hard feelings on my side.)

I agree with most of the comments already posted and there is no need to repeat the things already said. I understand the pressures you were under and I am really sorry to see you leave. I have often heard that no good deed ever goes unpunished . This is a new site and it needs some time to get the kinks out of the system. So far, I am amazed at the way things have been working with all the dedicated volunteers. I sincerely hope that S/N continues to grow and become of the most influential tech forum on the Internet. John, it would be great if you would reconsider your resignation.
Remember: A new friend is as new wine, when it is old thou shall drink it with pleasure !! Cheers to all you new friends with the hope that we will all grow old together ...
