(an Octane2 replacement) and the much-anticipated Onyx 4. The presence of the old "bug" logo warms the cockles of my heart, even if the desktop Tezro looks much like a subwoofer."

I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Slashdot fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Slashdot screen for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 line troll from one message thread on the hard drive to another thread. 20 minutes. At home, on my Kur05hin account, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Slashdot, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this troll transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even fuckedcompany.net is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Slashdots, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Slashdot that has run faster than its Kuro5hin counterpart, despite the Slashdot's faster troll architecture. my.yahoo.com with 8 categories of Rueters Top News runs faster than this site at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Slashdot is a superior forum.
Slashdot addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use Slashdot over other faster, cheaper, more stable forums.
