I'm not sure we can say it 'failed' as it was a pioneer of many sites today. It's also still very strong going and could easily sort out its mess.

Nearly 2/3 of comments were getting knocked below 0 and like 9/10 submissions got downmodded to oblivion by (I'm guessing) bots. I knew people who would self-upmod using junk accounts simply to get their submission to stay at 1 long enough to actually get genuine mods.
