Slashdot is Moving

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the there's-free-farmland-out-west dept.

As I mentioned yesterday, Slashdot is moving from Exodus East to West. This will be happening at around 11pm Eastern. We hope the downtime will be relatively minimal, but DNS may be a little slower to catch up. You can use brak.slashdot.org for a few days if your DNS is slow to catch up to reality. Hopefully we'll see you on the other side. Hopefully. In the meantime talk amongst yourselves. Here's a topic: Is Agent-X Deadpool?

    Agreed, I think some "meta conversation" could greatly improve Slashdot. I realize that /. will always be Rob Malda's playground and the editors can do whatever they please, but treating a community like their personal fiefdom has driven a lot of people away (to k5 and other places).


    I am not saying that they should throw away their own principles or ideas or turn this into a democracy experiment, but really, open it up to discussion, see what ideas are well received in the threads and consider adopting at least some of them if they make sense.

    A meta topic. About bloody time. It would be nice to have these more often, to let slashbots discuss slashdot, without being modded offtopic or worse...

    Two words:

    Benevolent Dictatorship

    The way most community sites are really run.
