The first step was difficult, but no more than the hundreds to come. :-/ This is no "mission accomplished" even though it's awesome. This will require effort and dedication from everyone including the community for a good while yet, but even if this site achieves nothing more it's already shown that a portion of the Slashdot community can take back control of its own destiny if it really wants to.

It's already a great start in record time (I suspect that the launch was to coincide with the end of the Slashcott). FYI, this site is already more functional than Slashdot, since I'm stuck with IE 8 at work, which has zero compatibility with Slashdot Beta.
Keep up the good work.

Look at the average number of comments posted during the Slashdot boycott. I think a significant number of those people ended up here. We will see this week if Slashdot can recover.
PS. Make it green, the red scheme is horrible.

I'd say the number of page views is much more important metric than the number of comments. Unfortunately, can't see that one.

It would look too much like Slashdot if it was green. That would be lame. It's mostly just about getting used to the red theme anyway.

Better yet, make it skinnable. No reason you can't look at a modern site in red, green, blue, or any random combination of those...
