One of many reasons I’ve given up on Slashdot

I gave up on Slashdot ages ago, mostly when they moved away from doing smaller stories, quickie posts, etc.  When I’ve gone back, I’ve been completely disgusted to see how old the stories are.  For a site that used to have updates within minutes of big news, they’re now posting things 2-3 days after it first breaks.  Example: they JUST discovered the “Fark tries to trademark term NSFW“, which I posted here three days ago.  As it is, I considered not posting it at all, because the story itself was 2 days old when I first found it.  The only reason I did is because I had only seen it mentioned on one other site.

Good going slashdot.  You’re on top of everything!
