SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
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.
John Barrabas
(And yes, this was an amicable transfer of power. There's no hard feelings on my side.)

...that Barrabas has been hired away by Dice... or is there?? Hmmm....
One of the truths of organizational work is that it takes a specific kind of person to jump in and launch something big. That's John, in spades.
And how.
It's entirely possible that the best people to move us on to the next stage are an entirely different group, with different skills and ideas.
And if that doesn't work we'll just burn them out too!
