hm...I learnt a lot about slashdot from wikipedia. particularly about the various arts of trolling on slashdot, the bad Russia/Natalie/BSD/Beowulf jokes and of course our good and sorely misssed friend goatse. I even found out about the anti-slash site, where the trolls [anti-slash.org] gather to plot their strategy (Do your civic duty and um... visit this site).

Here are some very informative links (no surprises, I promise :))
