First, on behalf of the staff at SoylentNews, please accept our best wishes for a happy (and safe and healthy) holiday!
Next, here are a few quick items of note that bear calling to your attention.
Please join me in welcoming requerdanos to the editorial staff at SoylentNews! He has already jumped in with both feet and had stories appear on the main page. Welcome aboard requerdanos!
Of note, as well, takyon has not only posted 1364 stories to the site, and he has submitted just shy of 6,100 stories (as I write this it stands at 6,097 submissions... there's more(!) how about posting over 20,000 comments! Thank you SO much!
I always feel reluctant to mention anyone specifically as running this site is a team effort. I sense there are some staff who prefer to work in the background and shun the limelight. We appreciate their efforts nonetheless! Recall the early days when site crashes were a request frequent occurrence. We've come a long way from then and I count it a privilege to have worked with such knowledgeable folk who have been so generous with their time and energy!
Lastly a huge thank-you to those who responded so generously to our end-of-the-year fundraiser! As of this writing, we have had 21 subscriptions totaling $567.40 since our request went out a couple weeks ago.
In this second half of the year (July 1 through December 31) we have raised $1908.15 from 85 subscriptions towards our $3,500.00 goal. THANK-YOU!
We realize it's been a tough year for everyone; take care of your friends, family, and community first. But, if you do have the means, we'd really appreciate your subscribing and helping us to keep things going for you and our community! Please see this comment to our previous story for step-by-step instructions on how to subscribe.
Why subscribe? Why not? Besides, you'll get all the benefits listed on the "SoylentNews - Why Subscribe?".
NB: If you'd prefer, you can subscribe anonymously. There's an option to make a gift subscription, as well. For any questions or difficulty, please reach out on IRC, send an email to admin@soylentnews.org, or just post a comment to this story.
Thank you!

you got that backwards. every thread fatty creamer was on, he turned into a discussion about his shit life, and very openly admitted it was to draw attention to himself, so he gets "revenue streams" to his amazon page and gets sales. people kept getting more and more pissed off, bitching him out, making fun of him. He just kept going.
So after that, people had enough, and a bunch of us decided to get him off. first with the gay porn spread all over the web, then with the parody accounts. they weren't "impersonations" - they were very clearly not him. I don't deny making like 10 of the fag memes, I don't deny posting from two of those parody accounts - because i forgot the password to one and created another. there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and it got the job done.
as far as months - yeah. I literally enjoyed shitting on that fucker and getting him off the site. about 80% of that entertainment for me was done while sitting on the toilet taking a shit. it was a fun time.
how about i take what you define as spam, i take away your little safespace, and i keep shitting down your open and ready mouth. how about you and anything you say doesn't matter and has zero weight.
I'm not nice, that's true, but if you picked a random internet site and decided people have to be nice to you there - no one gives a fuck what you think or decide. when someone says something wrong or dumb, it's perfectly fine to laugh at them. but that's not what i'm here for. that's just how i talk with no rules. what i am here for, is discussion of tech, and in many posts i bring over 20 years of industry experience at literally most of the fortune100 companies. and when the topic of a post isn't tech, then I entertain myself by making fun of shit. what you're here for is a friendly discussion about nothing. that's unfortunate for you - maybe you should start your own site where you make the rules.

The only thing impressive about that is your average employment being less than 144 days.
