Do you really think anyone who isn't going to charge forward is going to post "no, i'm quitting now." in this thread?

#12We're building a next-generation, distributed social network which gives users control over their data, and helps their social lives in the real world instead of online. Oh yeah, and we already have over 70k active users who downloaded our app in the last 2 months. So I am curious why YC didn't even want to interview us, but then again, their rejection letter doesn't leave many clues :)

Your spiel here is very motivating, motivating enough to make me click your link.
However, your website doesn't represent this at all. Your front page leaves me wondering "What do they do." None of the "apps" you have give me any indication of being the "Next generation social network."
I'm left confused as to what you do, or why I would sign up.

#14We're working on a flash-sales site with a focus for launching new products (rather than selling overstock of old products). We want to give small merchants and designers a captive audience to get those first early adopters. We currently have a landing page at http://www.Trisse.com

Wow! Very interesting. You'll have a kick butt team and two successful apps (Groups and Calender) that I know people use all the time. It would be interesting to see how the selection process works.

Title of this post, asked who's charging forward, not who's not charging forwards. Thanks.

#19I think that if getting a rejection from YC is enough to stop someone, then that was probably one of the reasons they were rejected.
I like to think I got my personal daily rejection quota filled today :) http://cdixon.org/2010/09/12/getting-rejected/
