What is (a) Slashdot?!?!?

It's a website / forum frequented by countless thousands of nerds. Whenever something gets posted on Slashdot that is in the interest of nerds, thousands-10s of thousands of nerd swoop down on the linked site with so much traffic, the site goes down under the weight.

/me envisions nerd gangs with pocket proctectors, high water pants, horn rimed galsses all snorting, drooling over Jeri's picture. :lol:

It makes me laugh that so many users that frequent Amiga.org, a site dedicated to a computer only used by geeks and nerds these days to call users of /. nerds in a derogatory way!  Same on the other thread linked to on this page.
Hypocracy is rife!

Hum,
Strangely, my ip address was banned this morning from slash dot…
seems someone was faking my address to hack into their site…

sorted now, after an email to banned@ slashdot…

(It had crossed my mind, I was being set up to reveal my ip address/email address etc - but it’s all too conspiratorial to be true)

Oh well...
