Hello World!

Hello everybody out there visiting slashdot.org -
\nI'm doing a (free) news website (just a hobby, won't
\nbe big and professional like osdn) in HTML5.
\nThis has been brewing since October, and is starting to get
\nready.
\n\n</pre>\nSeriously though...\n<br/p>\n<pbr/>\nI love the idea of the Slashdot news website; the threaded comments and\n
the user-submitted stories/moderation are truly unique among the\n
various news organizations.\n<br/p>\n\n<pbr/>\nUnfortunately, Slashdot's technical successes have not been duplicated\n
on their business side. They have leapfrogged from one parent\n
corporation to another for their entire existence - never really fitting\n
in anywhere.\n<br/p>\n\n<pbr/>\nSlashdot's current parent, Dice Holdings, has made it abundantly clear\n
over the last few months that it wishes to "re-image" the site into yet\n
another generic news aggregator. The "beta" site, that was introduced\n
last October, has zero support for threading/moderation/etc... A few\n
days ago, they started pushing 25% of the site's users to the new site\n
and reiterated their stance that the "beta" is their new vision and\n
that "classic" will soon be deprecated.\n<br/p>\n\n<pbr/>\nI just can't idly stand by and watch the destruction of one of the best\n
communities on the Internet.\n<br/p>\n\n<pbr/>\nMy new news website will be called "Pipedot" and be reachable at:\n
 http://pipedot.org/ (also http://pipedot.com/ ). The motto will be:\n
 "News for nerds, without the corporate slant." Get it? A pipe character\n
looks like a slash without the slant!\n<br/p>\n\n<pbr/>\nI'm committed to providing a free and independent resource without the\n
influence of a parent corporate overlord. The site will be decidedly\n
non-profit and have no advertisements, no Adobe flash, no Google\n
analytics, etc...\n<br/p>\n\n<pbr/>\nWhat it will keep, however, is the spirit of the original.\n
