Yep.. I remember too. I also remember how good slashdot.org use to be before they hired "editors".

With that said.. aren't we talking about a massive amount of bandwidth? Site owner was saying in another post last week that it is entirely paid for by voluntary "donations". A fact that needs to be advertised more because I don't think many people are aware of it. That is a great model, but I think it needs to be a more front and center element of the site. Right now it is hidden in small type in the footer where I don't think people are seeing it often. I also think "support" is a better word than "donate" At any rate, I don't think the site owner presently is interested in growing the site. I heartily agree that he does need to start taking it seriously, but I'm not sure he wants to.
