Our main objective is to highlight news stories on the web that are of importance to everyone, but especially nerds. In addition, SoylentNews will strive to go beyond simple news-aggregation, with some core principles:
- Providing a soapbox for experts to discuss their profession and solicit questions from a curious audience.
- Allowing the community to comment, without any mandatory registration.
- Staying mindful of the community's needs and wants while avoiding changes to satisfy an overarching corporate agenda.
We want to make this your source for news about technology, art, science and politics. We are the new kid on the block and are adapting quickly to satisfy our community's needs, as we look forward to exceeding your expectations and pushing boundaries like never before. Lastly, there will be no changes in format without a general consensus from the community. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the ride!

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

Congrats for getting this going so quickly!
I'm looking forward to the information density of the "Interactive Discussion System (a.k.a. D2)", (I attempted to turn it on in my preferences, but it won't activate).
Regardless, I'm hoping this site takes off and the unmentionable-other-place is quickly forgotten.
I'm sending psychic ripples through the morphic field to help this along as best I can!

Certain changes you make will take time to propagate and show up on your end. Give it 20 or 30 minutes.

Cool! I figured it wasn't working yet -- 30 minutes is a lot quicker than I was expecting to wait for this :-)

Even updating your AIM nick in your profile will take roughly that amount of time. We might get that done faster in the future.

Still no go on D2, after a couple of hours of propagation time.
When I select it through my commenting preferences, and press save, the reloaded page comes back without the preference change.
I'm thinking this is a bug.
Is there somewhere I should log a bug?
While on bugs, I was getting a bunch of "user can't moderate comment" messages when I was moderating, though the moderation mostly seemed to work anyway.

D2 was not in SlashCode so it is not implemented. The settings were supposed to be removed from the preferences though. I'll check and see if a bug needs submitted.
D2 like features will be added later.
