Wow that's a name I haven't thought about in a long time. I was in high school in the early 2000s and Slashdot was like a haven for me. I grew up in a town where I didn't know anyone in technology, let alone professional programmers. But thanks to the internet I could get onto Slashdot and talk to other nerds and interact with real live professional programmers. I haven't logged into my account in years but in hindsight that site meant a huge amount to me.
