Slashdot Mirror
Thanks For Reading: 15 Years of News For Nerds
Slashdot turns 15 this month! You may have noticed that we’ve swapped out the usual logo for the first of the reader-contributed designs we'll be featuring this month. (If you think you have a better idea, we'd love to see it; all artists whose designs we choose to run will get Slashdot anniversary T-shirts, and one will get a Nexus 7 tablet.) We're also happy to announce an overdue feature here on Slashdot: a blog with information from the developers and editors. We'll use it to provide updates and background information about the site's development (for instance, new features or fixed bugs, or changes in the user interface), and try to answer reader questions about the site at greater length than the FAQ. Shameless tease: today, you can read about the launch of Slashdot mobile in the inaugural post. We might use the blog to expound on story choice or to make non-critical announcements, too. You probably don't come to Slashdot generally to read about Slashdot, though, so don't worry &mdash the blog will live safely and quietly in the background until you want to read it. Since this is a new feature, we're still working out exactly how it should best be used, so feel free to make suggestions below on what you'd like to see. Between now and the end of October, look for a passel of other treats, too, starting with an interview with Woz later today. We hope you'll get together with other readers at one of the many parties planned for later this month, also. Slashdot exists for and because of everyone who reads the site; thank you for being part of it.

but yes "little enidian" to rule ;-p
lets hope for another 15
who where what when now?
Long gone as the Emacs vs. vi holy wars, to be replaced with the Android vs. iOS wars. How long ago the late 90s seem now.
I used to like coming here when apple was nearly dead and you could guarantee a good MS bashing. How times have changed indeed
Watch those corners
TBH I haven't gone to this link in awhile since I like to read all comments, but it's a roundup of the most popular Slashdot comments (submitted by users): http://seenonslash.com/
and they dropped "stuff that matters" :)
My sig points to some research I did to answer this question.

See my journal for slashdot ID's by year. Mine created in 2005. http://slashdot.org/journal/289875/slashdot-ids-by-year
Missed the sub-100's by a bit, myself. It took me a while to realize that logins were possible (or useful). At the time, the comments weren't even close to the most interesting part of the site.
Anonymous Cowards: Proving daily that human beings are innately jerks.
Your post is a good experiment on how no one ever scrolls down to the bottom and only comment the first 5 - 7 posts.
Some things never change in 15 years, eh?
Mods? This is why you use your points near the bottom! Anything? Helllllllllloooooooo?
Well, at least this is where I usually try to use my mod points. Sorry Dave, used my last one up before it expired at midnight last night. I'd have given you one here. Thanks for being part of the reason why I started reading here so long ago, man.
Cheers to ya!
