I know some of the new people left when you stopped the 10% weight voting which was a shame. I modelled my voting bot on what your legacy, though mine isn't on 24/7 I still nicked quite a lot of your 'votees' and added them to my 'list'. It was a great idea and I hoped you would restore it someday (and not for the reason I was on it).
With the title of this post, and while reading it I suspected you were getting out. I see that's not the case, so one positive. Can things not be fixed with @xeldal? It would be great if the bigger guys could all work together and we could some good stuff such as retaining these new promising authors.
