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.

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

    Word. As far as I'm concerned the site is perfectly functional now - sure there are always improvements that could be made, but nothing that couldn't wait indefinitely.

    Yeah, in fact I'm hard pressed to point at anything that's a critical bug, or even a proper nuisance (trivial bug is the best I can do). I'm rather impressed considering the sordid tale of beating slashcode into submission.
