Journal quinto2000's Journal: When did Slashdot "jump the shark"? 8
When did Slashdot "jump the shark?" Who here remembers when reading Slashdot was entertaining? When real news for nerds was posted? Goddammit, who remembers when reading Slashdot distracted you from doing your work? When you didn't need to troll in order to get enjoyment from the good ol' 64.28.67.150? When beer was Free, not just free? When it was exciting to read about new innovations in technology? When "first post" was amusing meta discussion, not a mindless bore?
Just like the Fonzy, tell me, what moment made it clear for you that Slashdot jumped the shark?

So my answer, is about when we started to notice the slashdot effect.
I also remember when no one wanted to be a nerd, now nerds are almost cool.
