  1. Main asciipr0n.com site... by Vengie · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Now reads "Due to the people at slashdot.org linking to this site without asking the owners or the hosters, asciipr0n.com is offline until further notice. Maybe you guys should start mirroring the sites you link to..."
    Ouch!
    And the link from the article just reads "Slashdot Sucks"
    Thats what i get for reading articles i guess.

    Mayby the reason there's nothing to post is because people have stopped submitting stories. What's the use, they are always rejected anyway? 90% of posted stories are from the editorial staff. It's their right for creating such a amazing site but don't be suprised if people stop submitting/

    From the submit story page: grousing about rejected submissions is Offtopic and usually gets moderated that way.

    From the story: Wow, there is absolutely nothing good to post in the bin today

    It can't be offtopic now.

    There was something good in the bin:
    * 2003-04-04 17:19:21 Oregon Law Would Jail War Protesters as Terrorists (yro,usa) (rejected)

    Since it's a slow news day, you might want to read that article in my journal:

    Oregon is considering a law that would label protestors who disrupt traffic as terrorists. They would face 25 to life. So much for freedom of assembly. According to the article even the police union is opposed to this one.

    They jump.

    I'm serious. The wings are hardwired to work only when there is no touch sensing on the feet, so to get up in the air, they do a small jump. Once they clear the surface, the wings start. Conversely, to land, they need only touch a surface with the feet, and the wings stop.

  5. Slashdot Effect is named that for a reason. by MisterSquid · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The difference between CNN linking to a site and /. linking to a site is that there is no such thing as the "CNN Effect" while the "Slashdot Effect" is such a well-known phenomenon it has been written up by a university physicist.

    We're not talking an occasional spike in traffic: everytime /. links to an article, that site is hit and hit hard. With the current linking policy (i.e. none), /. inadvertently becomes a DoS portal with us slashdrones the zombified clients.

    /. should have taken care of this a long time ago.

  7. We need a "post to journal" feature by Mustang+Matt · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've suggested this but Taco Shot it down.
    I personally think every story posted should go into a users journal.

    That way people can develop fan clubs and post good info all day long instead of being shot down by the editors.
