Reports say that it is currently possible to circumvent the ban by using Google DNS. But the word is, they will not only prevent this method, but also block Facebook and Youtube."

I understand your comment, but you have to realise that with only 2 active editors at present, even we have to sleep at some point. The stories are sometimes queued so that something is released even while neither of us is sat at a keyboard. In this case, the story was changing so quickly that the original story was overtaken by events before it was released. We are trying to correct the current problem regarding editor availability, but sometimes personal and professional matters take precedence over what is currently a volunteer commitment. Thus the 2 remaining editors are doing the best that we can do. It cannot be a (semi) dupe if it goes out before the next news item on the same topic. Also, we cannot hope to match our timeliness in reporting with that of an organisation spending millions of pounds on doing the same thing. The community are our reporters. I would ask that you report any relevant news items that you read elsewhere as promptly as you can and hope that they are in time for us to act upon them.

It's nothing personal, this is a new site and it'll take a while to get things orderly. :^)

Well 2 obviously risks being unsustainable. But it sounds like you have the matter in hand; I hope it works out okay.
I seem to remember lots of eager volunteers for the job in the heady days of altslashdot.org, but I guess the reality of the commitment (and thick skin needed?) has set in. Personally I never volunteered, and won't be doing so in the near future. Instead I would just like to say thank you to the editors and everyone else making this site work.

How DARE you have a life? What do I pay you for?
Err, I mean what do I load these adverts for?
Err sorry, what do I donate for?
Ok, final go: what do I bitch and whine for while contributing nothing but witty, insightful comments for?
Oh Dang it. I'll be in my bunk.
