Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Where's the Description of What Took Slashdot Offline? 3
Over the past 48 hours slashdot has been offline more than not. While it was beyond slashdot - it also influenced at least sourceforge as well - it would still be nice to see an explanation of what happened. Instead, we see more twitter diarrhea from the Troll in Chief making it to the front page...

Here's one description of what happened [theregister.co.uk]
I like this bit:
"We recognize there have always been issues with SourceForge and Slashdot, both with our current provider and within the infrastructure," Abbott told us.
"As a result we had already decided to fund a complete rebuild of hardware and infrastructure with a new provider. We have the hardware on hand and are at the final stages of negotiations with the new provider."
Where of course they aren't willing to promise any money at all to fixing the shitty code that keeps this place (barely) running.

Not until I was at S/N earlier and someone journaled about it. Lately I never visit /.'s front page, just friends' journals. The comments on the main page have just gotten too damned retarded.
Slashdot seems to not be for smart people any more. To misquote 2001: "My God! It's full of morons!"
