Funny, I don't dislike it. But I am surprised how different it looks. The +'s are pretty cool.
I don't expect the site will look as different 6 months from now.
What's really cool is that the vast majority of users on this screen shot are still familiar to me. We've got a good crew going.

At that point there might need to be filters that help you fish in 'all posts'. When I added that link, I had the urge to label it 'bottom feed', but that's way too cynical. :) Someday it might deserve it.
If I remember correctly, at that time, everything was submitted to just one common 'hubfeed'. Hence, there's no 'my feed'. I think at that point your hub was comprised of your posts, and of those you followed. There was no sharing. Also, up on the right you can see 'clout' and 'karma' scores. Karma was spent on voting, and was converted to unspendable clout. So there was a currency for voting. Everyone still has a clout score, btw, but we don't show it. :)
I don't really understand this. Assuming that karma here worked similarly to karma on reddit, you got more of it when people voted on your comments or submissions, right? And then this was converted into clout, which is unspendable? What exactly is the currency for voting, then -- karma or clout? What is the purpose of the conversion? I might be dense right now due to a lack of sleep.
Yes, that's right. Also, everyone got a bit of karma deposited into their account each day. Clout was an indication of how much karma you had earned. Finally, the more clout and followers you had, the more karma that you would get each day. It's not just your lack of sleep. It was hella confusing.
Good game . :)
