SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
from the prevention-goes-a-long-way dept.
So, every once in awhile, if things have been quiet, I like to pop a post seeing what the general feelings of the community are towards the site, seeing what we could do better, etc. I think its been a few months since the last time I posted in Meta, so I think this is a good time to get a pulse on the community, and provide a venue to get any feedback (good or bad).
On the staff side, I know things have been relatively quiet over the summer due to most of us being busy with life and such, which is why we haven't made a major site upgrade since the original rehash upgrade at the end of May. For myself, I've been working at a new job, and dealing with a fair bit of non-Soylent related things to the point that I really only have the time or energy to post, and occasional check in, and I'd like to thank the rest of the staff, and mrcoolbp in particular for holding down the fort for me.
Anyway, in contrast to my usual posts, I'm going to cut this off here, and will be looking forward to your comments below.

... is that when you do it right, hardly hear a whisper, but when you get it wrong, your inbox explodes.
I think you're doing a pretty good job.

The problem is that mild irritations can build up over time, and when something goes wrong, everything gets vented at once. An occasional meta article to clear the air goes a long way. Let's be blunt, Beta was the final straw for most of us; Slashdot had been doing downhill and not listening for eons before that.

Sure. By all means keep giving us the occasional meta thread.
I just thought a little positive feedback might be welcome :)
