A Resignation

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'm sure there are a lot of bugs, and many improvements we can make.

    Considering most of the new users came from /., there should be a fair number of programmers here. I've seen other sites that closely resemble /. come and go, and given the emphasis on FOSS on that site, I can only conclude the code is open source. SN could always make the code more prominent and try to get the community involved. This early in the game, I'm sure people would be happy to help.
