Surak's Journal: Frontpage Dupes

Notice that the number of dupes has been down? This is because of the subscriber system of course. Dupes HAVE been posted, but usually some subscriber is seeing in them in time to report them to [e-mail] so that regular users never see them. I've been one of the people e-mailing in, and, to Taco's credit almost immediately after I send the mail, the dupe gets removed. Whether this means that he's removing the dupes directly because of my mails or not isn't clear. There could be a THOUSAND people jumping on him with DUPE, I just don't know. :)

There's been two, maybe three in the past two days.

Of course, they're ALWAYS posted by Taco. No one else ever posts a dupe, just Taco. ;)

I reported a dupe...

And yes, Virginia, there really is a CowboyNeal. :-)

CONGRATULATIONS!

You're offically "paying to play"!

I want a job where I can get money for people correcting MY mistakes. ;-)

What was our last dupe?

[jamie]

I'm curious, what was the last dupe story that Slashdot posted? Maybe y'all can find it better than I can :)

I'm going to guess it was Sims Creator Signs TV Deal [slashdot.org], posted on June 3. So in the last 12 days we've posted 410 dupe-free stories.

If I'm wrong, let me know!

Re:What was our last dupe?

[jamie]

Note that the Sims Creator story was not a mainpage dupe... and neither is this one but I think it's the only one we've duped since then...

Largest Scale Model of the Solar System [slashdot.org], posted about a half-hour ago.

So no one's going to tell me what the last mainpage dupe Slashdot posted was?
