I have lurked in /. for more than a decade (note: I'm not the same username over there, I know, how sneaky), and always wished I could have been involved with the beginning. So this is a great opportunity, and I joined as soon as I saw what Soylent was doing. Not to mention the fact that I felt right at home with the old style. It's very comfortable.

So here's a question for everyone. Are we going to be the same as slashdot? A clone that focuses as entirely as possible on tech related news? Or will we branch out to other topics? I'm interested to see either way. I posted a comment to this effect in one of our two existing polls, and it may be a community-wide assumption, but I do think it merits a discussion."

    One of the aspects of Slashdot I loved the best was when an article on a project at, say, JPL would post to the front page and people with inside knowledge of it would post. That's incredibly valuable to me, and why the /. of old was always worth a million times any old news aggregator site. Having a mechanism for these kinds of inside baseball articles would greatly amplify the value of SN.
