Slashdot is having a Jump The Shark moment.
There is little need to change in order to scale up, provided the old simple text-based format is being used. Remember, it was always other sites being Slashdotted, never Slashdot itself.
Maybe the world needs a brand new competitor to Slashdot to be introduced, competing with modern Slashdot by being more focused on text, rather than gadgetry -- well, by being an earlier Slashdot, to be frank.
Groklaw was an excellent site with a text-oriented format. Content ruled, and there was no moderation, but it Seriously Did Not Suck.
Whirlpool.net.au is a brilliant tech site, and I suspect I'll be spending more time over there.
Slashdot? Not so much, any more.
Goodbye.
