"I'm rather excited to get going with Soylent and to watch it grow. Nay, help it grow. 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."

    I was just really impressed with how pipedot managed to be so information dense and so clean looking at the same time. I've usually thought that those two were mutually exclusive.

    I remember another site that used to do that once ... another URL that started with 's' ... I think the name was some kind of Unix pun or something ... hmmm, can't exactly recall at the moment.

    Slashdot isn't a Unix pun at all. It's a URL gag... Imagine tech support telling a beginner to go that that site:

    "Now type in: h-t-t-p colon slash slash slash dot dot o-r-g"

    Pipe dot isn't nearly as interesting. I don't mind getting my daily dose of soiled news, though.
