It's definitely not the same site it was in 1998, that's for sure. But I've (for whatever reason) been finding myself wandering back over there more and more lately, and I've been surprised to find there's still some good discussion to be had, but - as always - you have to pick around the GNAA stuff and the "In Soviet Russia" stuff or whatever the meme of the day is.

It's really too bad, in a way, that the founders of /. didn't take a more aggressive stance towards eliminating the silly bullshit. That used to be my absolute favorite site on the 'Net, back in the day.
