SoylentNews is people

A Resignation

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.)

[Ed. Note: this is a word for word article based on Barrabas's journal entry.]

    Sorry to hear this. Nothing needs to be fixed *right now*.

    Well, whatever made John Barrabas resign probably should be fixed *right now*.

    But other than that, I agree. There are certainly many things at the site which could be improved. But there is very little which really needs to be improved, and absolutely nothing which needs to be improved right now.

    "Well, whatever made John Barrabas resign probably should be fixed *right now*."

    Unfortunately, you can't fix stupid. (I don't mean him, I mean the people who wouldn't just shut up and be patient. Sometimes the Internet really just stinks. It's so dehumanizing that people treat others like slaves.)
