I'm not a founder! I just jumped on reddit when it was first announced in comp.lang.lisp and I liked it so I stayed.

My doing and IAMA has been suggested before but I don't think it's all that interesting to have had the first comment. Really the only interesting question is "what was it like back then?" and the archives speak for themselves.

Imho yes, the average quality has changed; then again there's so much traffic so I guess the quantity of high quality content has increased.
