A Resignation

from the not-kim-jung-un dept.

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.

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

    Well, it seems like however all of us take this event, there's no doubt it's still "an event". Good or bad, it's a call each of us have to make, but nonetheless something happened.

    I think it's good because in a sense, it means we are already a community, no? I mean, if there's this amount of comment for any event it means it's something important to a lot of people. That's cool!

    Let this be the beginning of many more hot topics to come.

    In any case, great job to everyone involved in creating this. Good bye and farewell Mr. Barrabas.

    Cheers!
