bonkeroo buzzeye's Journal: Coincidental Slashdot Suckage?

I've been reading Slashdot for quite awhile now. It has its ups and downs in terms of story quality. And, naturally, the weekends can be lame. But I don't think I've *ever* read as few stories and been as bored by the summaries I do read, as I have since they rolled out the new CSS'ed Slashdot. And this has been over more than the weekend, so that's not it.

Never posted a journal entry like this before, either, but it'd be off-topic on most any story and I finally just *had* to say something. I want my pre-CSS Slashdot back. The old look had a vibe of inspired crazed amateurism. This looks nice enough, but is uninspired dull 'professionalism'. And it *must* be coincidence... unless the push to CSS and the story suckage both indicate OSTG is leaning hard and gunking up the works now... but the stories are dull - or worse - as well.

Still, fingers crossed: this is probably just another temporary spell and Slashdot will climb back up to its *normal* level of suckage soon. ;)

funny -- I have been thinking the same thing.

Quality of the stories along with fresh info seem to have been lacking of late. I'm seeing articles here a week after I read them in Wired, or hours after they're in Science Daily or even BBC Online.

Where are the geeks?
