Look I know we're a small site but isn't this plugin, or one just like it, at LEAST a year old?

I remember reading about it a LONG time ago, probably at Slash you know where.

Insert obligatory XKCD strip about "it's new to 20%" phenomenon.

But really, still, this is way old news. Sorry.

Fair enough... but I suspect Mr. Zafiro17 -- who likes his whiskey, by the way -- is posting stories in somewhat of a hurry each morning to keep the content going while story posters remain minimal on Pipedot.

I posted a story on Nintendo from Ars the other day and totally missed summarizing the second page of the article because I only had a minute or two before getting off to work. I am noticing that my story-posting and comment quality may be suffering because I am trying to make a contribution to anything going right now on Pipedot... using the assumption that something is better than nothing at this stage. I am a lurker by nature or necessity on most sites I like, but ... man... something about Pipedot just makes me think it will be good if it can get past the 10,000 member mark (nothing like a Reboot to give something fresh energy). Anyway, I'm in on trying to get the community exchange going while it remains low at this stage, and its not as easy as it looks. Point being -- definitely state when a story topic is way old as you've done, downvote them in the pipe if your timing is right, but feel very free to post good (new) stories too!

Yeah thanks. It seems I'm not getting any traction with this idea, but I see nothing wrong with selectively picking multiple stories from Slashdot or Soylent for discussion here. It would save a lot of time, and we are really exactly the same kind of audience. And this site is SO much easier to use and better to look at. (I get frustrated every time I try to follow a Soylent discussion, particularly.) I again suggest that Pipedot consider doing that to bulk up the article selection.

Like you, I don't have the time or inclination to do a lot of submissions myself.
