@ ziggystardust Posts like yours and the replies that are predictable and inevitable, are the reason why digg is considered "The Digg madhouse"Come on guys... GIVE SOMETHING BACK!!!!
Hmmm.... "100 percent user driven", is a load of crap. Items disappear without a trace all the time. Pages that belong in the dump end up on the front page. The number of diggs for promotion is meaningless.The site is controlled by the secret inner circle of gestap.... erm mafi... uhmm edit... modera... digg paid sta... nope ... got it... friends of Digg (is that politically correct?)I know from personal experience. It does not matter how many diggs you get; if Kevin and friends do not want it on the front page; it will get buried and if you complain too loudly maybe you disappear without a trace or word too.So tow the line and keep that nose brown then some day, you will get elevated to the high levels that get you offers of paid servitude on other sites that have duped the Digg format, and are making money with it even with a crappy presentation.
Man... there's a lot of Digg haters on Digg. Reckon they're all the same people who bitch about how Microsoft is the most evil company ever while using all of their software? I love digg, and I trust Kevin Rose and Co. will do it justice. If you don't like something, find an alternative, or offer constructive critisism. Just bitching that it's a fad, a fad you hapen to visit 50 times a day, does nothing but annoy everyone and strengthen my 'digg down' skills.

@hankroth24 years is impressive considering web pages have only been viewable to the public since the early 90's.
