I'm sad. I used to love this site back when I was an engineering mechanics student (pre-CS). It gave me the ability to converse with people that were similarly interested in inventing and opened my eyes up to a whole host of interesting solutions to large and small problems alike.
I think what I'll miss most about it was scrolling through the list of inventions and marveling at the incredible amount of variance between seemingly good ideas, and the heaping mass of ridiculous ideas. Even though I loved picking apart ideas that I thought were completely implausible, the very fact that people were putting the time into designing and fighting for their inventions was something I loved. I honestly didn't follow the company during the last few years, and I can't say I'm completely surprised that they reached this point, but it will always have a special place in my heart for enabling the creative side of many people.
