/Meta gawd, been literally years since I've visited /. ...and tho it still is a bit of what it used to be, I don't think I like what it is anymore than when I quit it around ~2009. I can't even remember now just what the tipping point was anymore but I do remember that the quality of conversation had gone south. Does anyone else feel the same mix of sadness for what /. has become and a longing for what it once was? (...and for me personally, no, HN doesn't completely fill the gap, hence the longing)
