Me too. Slashdot's comment system was a bit more advanced. Slashdot's downwind came from Digg, Reddit and HN. Though the insightful comments switched directly from Slashdot to HN. And HN is changing too, less startup news, bubble fears, more general public audience, more corporate spam (and voting rings, sock puppets) - though it's still a very great community and I hope it remains like that for several more years. A tech news site is great because of the comments and the news selection - and the HN algorithms work usually great.
