Has MacBytes been suffering a lack of submissions? Or is the site maintainer too busy/tired/whatever to add new articles? I used to pay attention to stuff posted there... but it's no fun without new content.
So, does that mean a revamped MacRumors.com will include a "MacNews" segment under the same domain? Or does "transition away from" imply that MacBytes-esque content will no longer be a part of MacRumors?
We'll obviously continue to cover Mac news...we're just doing away with the bullet-list collection of links to Apple-related stories from elsewhere that is MacBytes.
Without speaking too much for arn, I don't think you'll be seeing most of those stories make it onto MacRumors unless people post them in the forums for discussion. A few of them might get picked up as "page 2" or "blog" stories as we try to keep that a bit more active than in the past, but most won't officially be covered as we seek to streamline the site a bit.
