As far as I'm aware I'm the only game in town. Some people have, through the grapevine, wanted to start up their own form because they aren't satisfied with some of my rules, development and organization. The thing I've always told people is that competition is good. But it's really difficult to get a consensus unless you have a centralized, charismatic person in charge. I wouldn't call myself super charismatic but I am honest upstanding and overall friendly, and I seem to be the only person who has the skills necessary to handle a website of this scale.

We got hit pretty hard during the vice motherboard article drop with over 2500 hits a day. Normal hosting would have keeled over at half that but my years of working as a sysadmin have paid off and I don't have a problem managing stuff as a result. There are times I've been in over my head and I have had abortive ideas but ultimately my place as the rock of the community isn't going to change anytime soon.
