SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
So, as per usual, I like to occasionally check the pulse on the community to make sure that people for the most part are happy and satisfied with the day-to-day operation of the site. For those of you who are new to the community, first, let me welcome you and explain how these work.
When I open the floor to the community, the intent is to provide a venue to discuss anything related to site operations, content, and anything along those lines. I actively review and comment on these posts, and if one issue pops up multiple times in comments, I generally run follow up articles to try and help address issues the community feels is important before someone decides to take rehash and form a spinoff. Feel free to leave whatever thoughts you want below.
In contrary to my usual posts, I don't have that much to say to this, so to both the community and editorial team's relief, I'll cut this off right here before it becomes Yet Another NCommander Novel.

On average, things are quite good and you're doing a great job, NCommander , along with the rest of your team.
Quite few months ago, I took a very brief look at the source and couldn't see (at least not quickly like an ADD ferret) how to add the number of comments to the story links. If it is easy for someone familiar with the source, then it would be fast way to show on the main page which stories have new comments since the last visit. undeadly.org does this, which is what made me look in the first place.

Up until our sooper sekrit comment code update that should roll out about a week after paulej72 gets whatever he's got us on hold for done, it wasn't possible. It's doable now though and a pretty good idea. Added to the issue tracker and will almost definitely make the next update since it's closely related to work already done in said update.

One thing that I really like about the other site is that they have a "Most Discussed" section on the right sidebar.
When I need to relax at work, I can see whats trending and see what people are thinking about it.
I don't know how much work that would be though...
Other than that, it must be good or I wouldn't be coming back. ;)

I happen to like our trending comment slashbox. It's in the user settings.

It's actually implemented and present. Just not shown by default. Go into your settings and enable the slashbox for it.
Still always moving
