Themes.org Reborn at Freshmeat

GSpot writes: "While doing my weekly surf to see if there has been any change in one of my favorite websites, themes.org is being redirected to themes.freshmeat.net and seemingly has been reborn yet again. The previous incarnation had a dreadful interface that was difficult to navigate and when it worked it was painfully sssssllllllooooowwwww. The current version is upon a first impression a much more pleasant experience. I plan on visiting often." Mirotrem points out this brief history of themes.org running on the site (written by Chris D.), detailing the moves the site has made to this point. (Freshmeat, Themes.org, and Slashdot are all part of the world-controlling conspiracy under the VA Software umbrella better known as the Sinister Andover Keiretsu.)

    Slashdot Slashdotted by Slashdot. Since FM sits in the same cage as /., and slashdot slashdotted fresmeat, might the traffic of everyone whacking freshmeat slow slashdot down? A self-slashdotting.

    Evidently not yet. If it does, well, see you at Exodus!

    I know it won't happen with their feed, but it would be worth seeing. I'm waiting for those guys doing their build out in the adjoining cage to whack something and forever be pariahs for causing the Great Blackout of '02.

  11. How is this flamebait? by jacobito · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't understand why the parent post was modded down as flamebait -- the gripes seem perfectly legitimate, if perhaps premature. The previous themes.org design was clunky but pretty, and the one before that was nice. I have nothing against the freshmeat interface and I'm not saying that I dislike it, but I agree that it's a bit dull in comparison.

    Moderators, please do not mod something down just because you disagree with it.

    You didn't need to mod me down. I just joking. Why would this be considered a troll?

    I can understand why people may not find this funny, because I'm not the best comedian. I don't think it's fair to mod something down like that.

    where do the /. editors claim to be journalists?

    a few (katz, roblimo) are the writing types, but for the other bin junkies, their role is to wade through the submission bin and decide which stories that were submitted could generate good conversation on the comments, and which will get plenty of page hits. usually they might add their own 0.02$, but i don't recall reading them claim to be journalists.

    Crack is chemically identical to cocaine, but it is cut with more stuff, like quinine and baking powder. Why crack got pegged as the "insane" drug I'll never know. for me, it just gets me a little bleary-eyed and talkative for $5.

    LSD should be the crazy drug, so that people say, "Hey, lay off the acid" instead of "Hey, lay off the crack!"

    That's why I don't have any pants on.

    You are of course technically correct, but "lay off the acid" does not sound right. Hehe. And by the way, please lay off the crack, or acid or whatever you may be taking. Drugs are bad, mkay?
