mcgrew's Journal: Wierd...

Before S/N opened, I spent a lot of time commenting at /. Any more, I check messages and read little of /., partly because stories have been showing up at S/N before /. and partly because there are so many more short bus riders at /. Oh, and slashdot's "stupid quotes" annoy the hell out of me.

I hadn't had mod points at /. for years, despite being at karma cap.

So two days ago I had five /. mod points. Today I had fifteen. I guess heavy posters don't get points.

S/N?

Where are you measuring the signal-to-noise ratio?

Actually, that's a deliberate pun that makes a statement about the vast hordes of non-nerds that have invaded /. in the last few years. So just as Slashdot is /., Soylent News is S/N.

That was my first inclination, but I didn't want to jump to that conclusion without a little more supporting evidence... I look at soylent every once in a while but I think they could have done better with the layout and general structure.
