OK, I've been a Slashdot fan for years, but I think they "jumped the shark" somewhere along the line. Most of the news just isn't interesting it seems... half of the stuff is repost, rehashed information that's occasionally blatantly wrong.

I've actually switched to Engadget for most of my geek news.

Are there older Slashdot readers that feel the same way?

I don't read /. much anymore.

Mind you, I didn't read it much in the first place, cuz I dislike their format.

Not to be a complete ass, but the term jumped the shark has done so, to me.

But The Fonz would be so offended by your remark. For shame!

I went from Slashdot to Gizmodo, and now I'm on Engadget.

I'd have to agree, Slashdot isn't as good as it used to be.
