Help Test Exciting All-New Slashdot "Banjo"
After far too long in development, Slashdot is ready to move to
the latest version of Slashcode.
To this end, we really need people to test our development box, aka Banjo. This is not a load test, so please don't beat the crap out of it (yet!). Please read comments, post comments, and test out wacky new features like Journaling and the assorted new messaging options. It is mostly identical but there are several cool surprises. We have many optimizations still to add, and only have a fraction of our "real" hardware on Banjo so don't worry about speed, instead look for things that don't work right (or at all!) and send those bug reports. (Known issues: imported comments are misattributed, and comment searching is disabled. Don't report these things please ;))
Slashdot is Slashdotted by Slash-users from Slashdot...

At the moment' I'd say Banjo doesn't work right or not at all.
There is absolutely no reason to panic.
All this blather and discussion about nothing at all, the color scheme makes me want to puke and... wait... What? That's not a new feature?
Dueling Banjos!!!
(Hmm. New Slashcode? Could Slashdot *get* any better??)
Good mfences make good neighbors.
it doesnt go
Ok. I have only played around for a while, but please try to fix this for the next version.
And thanks again for the great work!
(wink wink)
To recall an old cartoon series: Banjo got El Cabonged!
Close the world, open the NeXT
Uh... how can you say it looks great so far, when it isn't even up? For shame! Pretending you've visited the site so you can quickly put your response up on the first page in an attempt to maximumize your Karma Extraction from Moderators.
;)
You know what? It worked.
C and DB2 instead of Perl and MySQL! And hire back some of the C coders VA got rid of.
*Shameless Attempt to get Cushy Telecommuting Job Back*
Will that replace slashdotted in geekspeak? only time will tell.
Naaah, It Got Banjoed!

Sweet! One of those "cool surprises" must be a time machine!
If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will.
