The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

I remember discovering Digg first and then reddit, and noticing how on reddit, back when it was Digg's less glamorous knockoff, people didn't comment unless they really knew what they were talking about. It was a pretty sensible and erudite site for a while. Then Digg nuked itself and reddit was forever changed.

I was there! Started on Digg after Kevin Rose mentioned it on The Screensavers (TechTV), joined reddit shorty after.

2006-2009 was peak reddit. Then after digg's suicide, it was the beginning of the end.

And now he's is trying to bring it back. I wish him the best of luck. Don't fuck it up this time, Kevin.
