You also have the problem of what people are going to do with themselves all day. Some people handle this well and others handle it very poorly.

Well I won't be on beta, that's for sure!

I apparently did. Why is "2 girls, 0 guys" okay, but "2 girls, 1 guy" is a society destroying ratio-of-single-men-to-single-women distorter? Esp. since it does a better job preserving the ratio of single men to single women then a lesbian relationship?

I would imagine the op was assuming equal numbers of lesbian and gay relationships, but un equal numbers of 1 man 2 women vs 1. Woman 2 men relations.

That's probably a fair judgement on current facts.

And yet, the number of on-topic comments hasn't increased, either. It's not that people are getting accustomed to beta, it's that they're leaving.

We're locked into the current two-party system by the very nature of first-past-the-poll voting. We're more-or-less locked into Youtube by its sheer mass: your average Joe doesn't have the server space or $$ to hold all that video content like Google does.

We're not locked into slashdot. We have nostalgic feelings for it, but that's all.

And low UIDs. Any replacement site will have to allow UID porting

I used to get them all the time, and without anything changing, I have not seen them for ages.

I lost them 12 years ago, after modding in The first Slashdot troll post investigation. That was back in the days you got 5 points to mod with, and posts said how many times they'd been moded, rather than just an aggregate score.

The blacklist was removed several years later, probably about 3 years ago.

Since then it's been fairly regular, last about a week ago. I don't use beta as it's crap.

Slashdot is dying; Netcraft confirms it.

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Nerd/Geek website Slashdot.org was found dead in it's internet home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss it - even if you didn't enjoy its work, there's no denying its contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
