As a relatively new IT admin, for a brief time it was a great forum for swapping war stories with others in my position.

#33Slashdot. The technical discussions, the flamewars, dumping on Jon Katz, William Gibson vs. Neal Stephenson, using the web as a primary source of news on 09-11-2001. Posting as user #41803. https://m.slashdot.org/story/31348
Slashdot was fun... But then somehow it stopped to be. Not sure even what happened.
Posting as user 1XXX :)
