    Exactly the same sentiment here. I actually did totally abstain during the slashcott but it was rough. Like coming off crack or something. I returned to /. just in time to see a post about SN going live and now I don't miss /. all. I maybe check once a day, but unless I'm really interested in something, I don't even open the articles. so -- I'm happy to say that since I've taken up the SN heroin, I don't miss the /. crack at all.

    Did they post about it? I actually went over there to search for such a story but couldn't find it. Link it here if you are able, I'm curious to read their take on it.

      I didn't participate in the slashcott, and didn't ses a story about sn. GP Washington probably referring to a comment.

        did the boycott, read a few stories and then came across a comment about sn.
        never looked back ever since.

        but then I've only been part of ./ for a year or two, so I guess I'm not quite a hardcore addict as others here

        but hey, now I got a low id!

          I like your attitude...

          Me, I wish my uid was lower! :)

    I'll admit, I couldn't keep away during the slashcott. I even posted once or twice. But the moment I read about SN (and technocrat.net coming back), I deleted all of my /. bookmarks.
     
    Today is day 3 without /. and I still feel like I'll never need another hit. This is literally the longest I've been without that site in the last decade+. We can be strong as a community and give up that old tired crack for this higher grade old school crack, that we so SO need!

      I know what you mean about /. withdrawals.

      I found out about the 9/11 Attack on that fateful morning because somebody posted an off-topic comment about it in a Slashdot thread. It was a 'whoops, better go check what the non-nerds are up to' moment for me.
