In the ongoing battle of site improvements and shoring up security, I finally managed to scratch a long-standing itch and signed the soylentnews.org domain. As of right now, our chain is fully validated and pushed to all our end-points.
Right now, I'm getting ready to dig in with TheMightyBuzzard to work on improving XSS protection for the site, and starting to lay out new site features (which will be in a future post). As with any meta post, I'll be reading your comments below.

It would be most handy if soylent had a way to colorize new posts in a discussion. Something as simple as storing a "last viewed" date in a cookie or dom storage and then applying a "new" style to any post newer than the stored date stamp. Even slicker if it can be done with css trickery so javascript is not required.

+1 to that. pipedot has been doing it for a while and it's very very helpful.

What?! No way. Ted Turner ruined old movies. Soylents needs an all gray/monochrome theme, the way God meant movies to be watched...er, posts to be read.
