CmdrTaco Looks Back on Fifteen Years of Slashdot

CmdrTaco sent in a link to his weblog post looking back on his experience running Slashdot for fifteen years: "For me the story of Slashdot is utterly inseparable from my own life. I built it while still in college: when normal people did their homework or had personal lives, I spent my evenings making icons in The Gimp, crafting perl in vim or writing a new story to share with my friends. I’ll never forget the nights spent tailing the access_log and celebrating a line from microsoft.com or mit.edu with friends like Jeff, Dave, Nate, and Kurt."

However, the long term consequences of the decision wouldn’t be clear for years.

Consequences like the MTV "Jersey Shore" banner ad on this article.
