Title: Slashdot got bought out
Post by: scottws on Tuesday, September 18, 2012, 05:39:55 PM

I saw this news today on Ars Technica, and my first impression was that it was something I'd obviously heard of before but couldn't place.  I kept thinking of Salon.com, I later realized.  Then it hit me.

I could care less about the sale, but the thing that got me was that I hadn't even thought of or heard of the site for literally years.  And that's crazy!  Remember the Slashdot effect?  It's shocking how fast things can change.

I still read the occasional slashdot article but yeah, its not what it used to be.

I never visited the site once in my life.
