Good Lord, have you seen /. lately?

Journal by DeathMonkey

Not to take potshots at the "other site" but damn.

I had mostly stopped checking it because the comment signal-to-noise ratio had become so bad. But now they're running these giant floating ads that cover half the comment-text so you can't actually read them anyway.

    With CSS and Javascript disabled it's perfectly readable for me. Still, I usually read it through http://alterslash.org/ [alterslash.org].

    I deleted my account and have not posted there since this site was started, but I check alterslash often.

        Call Timothy a "Jew" in the discussions a few times. Actually, that's not you deleting it, that's them deleting it for you.

        When /. changed ownership, they sent out a notification email about the change in conditions. I emailed Slashdot and told them to remove everything and never contact me. IIRC I checked to see if I could login about a month later and it didn't work.

          Wow, that's a serious reversal of their long established practice.
