His resume should be pretty damn impressive though. Those numbers are huge.

  Incredible resume, but it doesn't necessarily mean companies will be lining up to hire moot. What I mean is: 4chan was a singular achievement. You couldn't exactly just slot moot in at Imgur or Reddit or Hacker News or some other community; his talents wouldn't necessarily be transferable/applicable. I say that with a great deal of respect for moot and what he built, even if some really horrible stuff came out of that place.

    He also had another webpage, the name escapes me, that ran for quite a while. And if I am not super-mistaken, a similar app. While it/they failed in the end, it definitely shows additional drive coming from him. Does the "horrible" stuff _really_ matter though? Do you think the admins/creators of reddit should deserve less credit/respect because of the many horrible subreddits? I really don't see why the bad stuff would lower the achievement/respect towards moot, he has always been against it, cooperated with law and police and he has 'staff' that are dedicated to remove the bad stuff. Why aren't those things considered?

      I definitely don't think moot has a lack of drive or talent! Does the "horrible" stuff _really_ matter though? I should have phrased that better. No, I don't blame moot for that stuff. If we are going to have open and/or anonymous communities, some regrettable user-generated stuff is inevitable. Moot fought the good fight as far as I could tell.
