Soylent admits now there was no DDoS attack, they simply hosed the DNS
records when they tried shutting down the Linode instances.  Site is up
and running and they're posting interesting articles, which is good.

They're not out of the woods though: a lot of introspective posts about
what their community/business/financial model should be, and the
comments show a fair degree of disagreement.

I conclude you can't start with the community and end with the site.
You have to build the site and let the community come to it.  There's
no obvious way for Soy to move forward now, the guy who ponied up $2K
seems benevolent but he hasn't said a word to date, and they have to
probably find a new name.

Good luck, soybeans.
