ACs are a way for people to say what they want without fear. It also lowers the hurdle for people to interact with the site. Anyone can contribute, no registration required.
-- SN won't survive on lurkers alone. Write comments.
Conversely, one could try not going on a drunken rant on IRC.
And as I recognize the username from said drunken rant: If you choose to drunken rant, please don't start the drunken rant with a racial slur. The impact of threatening to raise hosting cost as a way to blow off steam will be left as an exercise for the reader.

From FatPhil, a handy one-line script to see all of Khyber's IRC "contributions":
for i in 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16; do GET "http://logs.sylnt.us/%23soylent/2014-03-$i.html"; done | grep -i Khyber | sed -e 's,.*<\(.*\)>,\1:,'

"Anyone can contribute"
Except in IRC, where no matter how much you've contributed, ONE drunken rant gets you banned, and then you can no longer contribute.
Power-tripping mods and site owners are going to be the death of this site.

Considering I'm partially African, I'm free to use the damned word if I please, ESPECIALLY when I'm using the IGNORANT PERSON definition, you nigger.
