NickK-

I remember 9/11 on Slashdot. This was important to a lot of (technical) people, even over here in Germany. You did exceptionally well this day.

Hey, before I'm asking away I just wanted to say "Thank you". I'm a long-time (1998?) /. reader, but never bothered to create an account.

• Can you elaborate on Slashdot's (or your) relationship to Kuro5hin in the early days?

• Were you guys aware of similar, but other-language projects like the now-defunct symlink.ch?

• How do you feel about /.'s current state and this somewhat annoying (and helpless) trying of its owners to benefit from "the brand"?

Thanks for doing this AMA.

From Heidelberg, Germany:

NickK-

Thank you!

Consequently siding with the users sometimes seems to be "old-fashioned" nowadays. But if it's old-fashioned, so be it. :-)
