That's a great solution to the problem of too many owners.
Issue stock. Yeah. Great idea.
This isn't Caleb's idea. It's mine.
If the campaign fails to meet its goal, Jason will either sell it to someone else, or he'll keep running it like it is forever. If it does succeed, I'm not a dot com half millionaire. Jason gets the money. I just get the job of making Hackaday better than what it is now.
As far as the trolls... Yeah. We do a hands-off moderation policy. We might start thinking about some sort of 'voting' comment system if this thing succeeds.
Guy behind this whole mess here.
You might have noticed some really weird stuff on Hackaday recently. The two new additions to the Hackaday 'family' - the lifehacks and handmade subdomains - are Jason's idea. We weren't too thrilled with the lifehacks but I digress.
The straw that broke Caleb's back was the suggestion of a 'fashion hacks' sub. I'll admit what laqueristas can do is extremely impressive, but it's not really Hackaday, is it?
When the 'for sale' post went up, a whole bunch of people suggested doing a kickstarter or something. I did it, and that's where we are today.
Caleb went to EETimes, I'll still be at Hackaday even if this campaign doesn't succeed. I'd really like to make Hackaday better than what it is, and without the revenue going towards Jason's other startups, we can do that. We have the revenue and fanbase to do some really, really cool stuff.
Uncompensated overtime? Just Say No.
