    Malda should never have sold it.

    I don't know, I imagine I would have. He was probably getting sick of slashdot anyway. Hell, I let my old Quake site lapse out of my own boredom with it and nobody even offered me any money. Had I been offered enough to retire on, well, of course I would have taken it.

    I don't blame Malda a bit. I blame the greedy cockbiting corporate greedsters who bought it.

    Look what happened to K5 when Rusty got tired of it. It was a thriving community. The site's still up, but there's no community any more (maybe a dozen people left), the trolls ran everyone off. And I don't doubt Rusty could have sold it, and he's probably kicking himself for not doing so.

    Nothing lasts forever. I'm kind of glad Dice started that Beta bullshit because it caused soylent to come into existance, and IMO soylent is a better site so far. Five years from now, who knows?

    I'm glad soylentnews.org is up and running strong. I was very disappointed in /. As well as the beta.

    It screamed Google news in beta. I looked to you guys and gals for insiteful information as well as comments on your view of the subjects posted.

    OK. Back to hoho's and dew
