Oh wow, an elf!
I thought Greenspun had been driven out by some investors? I remember reading something on how they had disputes and eventually bought him out or whatever.
Anyway, the site is such a bad shape it's almost funny. The ads are really bad and there are lots of bad links (have you looked at Greenspun's original articles lately?). The only thing that keeps it going are the people in the discussion forums (and the forums are joke, too, technology-wise). It probably still generates tons of revenue even despite all that, so I doubt that we'll see anything decent come from it anytime soon. It's really a shame.
