Why do people like slashdot?

[BigToque]

Unless there is something I'm missing, I find the site to be annoying. The comments section at least.

I find the comments section to be the most enjoyable, it's great when people from the industry speak.

I don't like the layout, but the broad scope of tech stories keeps my interest Stefan 🙂

I often search the funny modded posts, I really like the geek humor there.

Yet you post in and read OT.. 😕

I also hated the comment section until I changed it to nested. Much easier to read the comments.

That's why I read slashdot.

Exactly.

I guess if you're not technically oriented, it may not be as appealing.

I would but I don't want slashdot to suffer from the ATOT effect.

Edit: To answer the OP, it's just a news site for nerds/geeks. The beauty about /. is the comments section.

I think the OP meant the style of the comments section... not the content.

I like /. cause you can play pong on atot 😀
