A Conversation with Rob Malda - Part One of Three (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Wednesday August 8, 2012 @05:09AM from the it-all-started-with-a-bored-college-student dept.

Slashdot's Glorious 15th Anniversary (link to bad fireworks video) is coming up in October, so Jeff 'Soulskill' Boehm and Rob 'samzenpus' Rozeboom decided to have a chat with Rob Malda. Back in 1997 Rob founded a website named Chips & Dips that later morphed into something called Slashdot, which has been (as the saying goes) "often imitated but never duplicated." Since leaving Slashdot, Rob has been doing this, that, and the other, but we'll let him tell you what he's doing in his own words. Note: This is an audio interview with some semi-interesting photos laid over it as a slide show, so you might want to listen to it rather than watch it. Parts Two and Three of the interview will be along in the next few days.

No one gives a shit
Slashdot is the pits
Why are you such a tool?
Fuck your ugly face
You fucking sold this place
And now you
think you're cool?
One last question now
Can you tell me how
To profit
off of fools?
Is it astrotruf?
Paid-off trolls and smurfs?
UI that
ignores the rules?
I've got hate and spite
For this shitty site
Slashdot sucks
AC RULES!
