Slashdot Mirror


Updated Slashdot Advertising Policy

In response to increased advertiser demand, we have decided that we will post one story a day paid for directly by our advertisers. These paid "Slashvertisements" will appear daily amidst the normal stories you read here. Our first Slashvertisement is for our sister site, ThinkGeek , stuff for smart masses. From Linus' Autobiography to 42" Plasma Screens and Caffeine Products Galore, ThinkGeek has everything you need, except love. But enough of their gift certificates could bribe your way to that too! And check out their current exciting specials!. Also at the request of our advertisers, anonymous posting has been disabled. If you are interested in reaching quality demographics using Slashvertisements for your company, or just have questions about the new ad policy, email Hemos.

  1. Slashdot getting close to being off my bookmarks by LM741N · · Score: 0, Troll

    You are moving in that direction, and I am running out of space for all of my bookmarks. I hate having to click several times to see the whole list. Now see how capricious your readers can be? Now that we are advertising targets.

  2. If it works... by Claric · · Score: 1, Troll

    ...then fantastic.

    Personally, I love Slashdot. I don't want to see it go. That would be the biggest irony of the .com busts. Although technically Slashdot aint a .com, it's a .org.

    Imagine this in the news:

    "Today saw the first of the dot-org blow outs when Slashdot, one of the Internets most popular sites folded. Slashdot readers were quoted as saying 'Actually, I really didn't see that one coming'..."

    Nah, wouldn't happen. Although, I do feel I need to ask if Slashdot still qualifies as a dot-org being as it has a business model of sorts. Does it matter? Probably not. Am I totally misinformed? Probably, but at least I'm the first to admit that ;-)

    will you be placing the slashads in their own topic or have them posted by their own author? i'd like to use my prefs page to hide them.

    disclaimer: i am aware of today's date.

    That's the only thing I could think while reading the story.

    If anonymous posting hasn't been disabled, then tell me, what's my name?

    You don't know. Slash keeps exactly as much information about an AC as it does about a logged in users, except for an email address. Which is usually anonymous. So even if this had been real, you'd still be just as funny.
