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.

BTW, I put that first line in quote tags. But Soylent, unlike Slashdot, doesn't recognize html tags if you choose the plain old text option. And if you choose html, you have to put in goddamned paragraph tags because it doesn't recognize returns. The number of little annoyances like this (along with the missing D2 options), are also not exactly confidence-inspiring.

I'm posting this using the Plain Old Text option, and I thing my post conclusively proves that your claim is wrong.
