Awesome initiative. I sincerely hope this triggers an avalanche for more to follow for the sheer betterment of the hacker community worldwide. Thanks.

Sure thing. I love open source and we had no reason to make it closed source. We've been open source from day one.

Can you elaborate on how you're gauging success for your project?

Well, as of earlier today, there are 8,947 media blobs on the site. Additionally, we recently hit 100k uniques [1] over the lifetime of the site, and a few thousand today alone. We maintain this level of traffic fairly consistently. Of course, we're still getting started. The site is only a few months old.

I think the operating profit for Oct[1] should have a negative in front of it.
