Thomas I think you're embellishing a little. They obviously had a huge budget and a talented team of developers, so lets not over exaggerate our role, lol. Still, I use the site and recommend it, it's quite nice. Though I did notice that gifs loaded pretty slow on their network, and I often had to mirror those to imgur. Not sure if they've fixed that.

By the way, perhaps someone from the minus team could answer this. I know the website frontend (I'm not sure about the infrastructure behind the site) is/was developed in Python. Was it built on top of any sort of framework (such as Django)?
