robi2106's Journal: here is my once in 7yrs check in

Looks like the journal page is still broken so I have to scroll to the bottom to find the link to create a new journal.

sooooo why is /. dying? Ohhhhhhhh yeah.

Same problem here

[hackwrench]

I had to go hunting around for the journal link too. I haven't had mod points in ages. Slashdot is completely busted and Slashdot.jp, which I also had an account is dead too. There should be single sign in for all sites, but apparently someone else registered hackwrench on Sourceforge, not that they appear to be using it. No unicode support, no link to your Facebook or G+ accounts, logging into them just makes you a new user account.

creimer is destroying this community!

Soylentnews is kind of okayish

I find the advertising

[Marxist Hacker 42]

To be even worse. I don't mind sidebar advertising, but occasionally the header advertising takes up 1/3rd my screen.

Who's left?

[Jeremiah Cornelius]

I mean, remains.

Slashboxes

[stoolpigeon]

I've always kept a custom slashbox at the top on the right with a link to writing journals - showing new journal entries by friends, etc.

But there's just not much here any more and I spend lots more time at Reddit. The signal to noise there is way worse than it was here at the dot back in the day - but in the smaller subreddits it can be ok.
