Who reads Slashdot?

[Max Lobovsky]

There was a time (about 10 weeks ago) when i check http://slashdot.org daily. Then FIRST came along and CD took over all my free web time. I'm sure plenty of FIRSTers are Slashdoters so i decided to search slashdot only to find that there hasn't been a post about FIRST since the beginning of the 2003 season. Has anyone tried submitting anything recently? Im kinda surprised that there isnt anything more recent.

i use mozilla firefox with tabbed browsing and 2 of my tabs are CD and slashdot

btw did you see that robot made from mini coopers a few weeks ago?

Well I'm not exactly a moderator. I don't think there are true moderators. I just receive mod access a couple days a week. Which gives me the ability to rate posts. I've been reading slashdot daily for almost 4 years now. So it takes about 2 or 3 years to get mod access.
FYI: My user id is 529,104 and my karma is excellent.

448,595. I average about 5 posts a year on slashdot

It's my homepage...I love it.
Moderator? Like, with 5 mod points?? Or...what? 'Cause you just need positive karma and to check slashdot at a reeasonable rate for that.

I'm 670317 but I lurk ((like i do here :-P)) and I read for about 4 months before I got an account.
Slashdot....is fun :-)

Surf to slashdot once a week or so... I live on Webmasterworld.com

Other than during the FIRST season, Slashdot is practically my home page.

I can't believe how long it has been since I even loaded the page.

Pretty much the same goes for me. I haven't been to Slashdot since before Build started.

My UID is 135069, but I only have 7 comments.

I seem to have you all beat: 123226. Of course, I seldom log in and haven't posted in over a year. I tend to post whenever there's an article about FIRST though.

I thought there were people with higher access, i know anyone who reads it often gets mod points. Maybe after instituting the mod points, they took away all the moderators.

And by moderation, i don't mean by mods, but the rating system /. uses for comments.

$@#$@#$@#$@# you got me beat....

The first time i went on Slashdot in probably 5 weeks was just now to do that search.

If only CD had moderation and FP didnt mean Fisher Price.....
