- manys 14y agoI forget what year it was, but I basically stopped visiting after they changed over to the current design that was, for me, impossible to use. I find it sadly humorous that they still have those ridiculous "you know how to type...slow down!" posting barriers. If anything explains /.'s decline, it's the incredible friction they've imposed on participation. It's inexplicable.
