I would like to clarify some points on the in-progress submission and voting process.
If you plan on making a submission then I also recommend you read the original article with full instructions. Unfortunately, if you did not register to vote before April 12, you are out of luck for this vote.
If you want more information about bounces, plain text email, or voting read this comment by audioguy.

Then don't fix it. Soylent is both a clever twist and a statement that we are about the USER, not the business. Plus as a nice bonus its a geek joke and the kind of folks that are gonna hang out at a nerd site are by and large.....drumroll....geeks and nerds.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.

But I don't like it and I am a user. And they promised to let us vote on it in the very beginning.

My vote (for Soylent) cancels yours. Since the anonymous users are always uncountably common that means that my infinity cancels yours and it will have to just be the logged in users voting. Sort of like renormalization.

borf... what's in a name anyway? (Shakespeare if need be [wikipedia.org]) the most important thing on the web is to have a unique searchable name. there's nothing worse than naming a site, app, or, program with something commonly held elsewhere. (and don't get me started on names like "R")
soylentnews is as good a name as any of the other popular sitenames. and it anagrams to "only wetness".

doesn't seem like very user-centric web design to me.
hey-o
I'd rather have the comments made more readable before trying to decide on what name soylent news will use. But perhaphs we'd grow our userbase too big to change at that point?

There's an update in the works to fix this; experimental code is already live on dev.soylentnews.org

Once we decide on a final name, we will spend more time on UI elements.

This, this, this. I've become quite fond of it, because it's nerdy and geeky in all the right ways. And I can bloody remember it, too.
And when I finally noticed the logo, it made me laugh. I'm still chuckling. :)

I agree 100%. I think Soylent News is a great name. Why change it?
