And I'm impressed! Visually it's nicer than Soylent, and the idea of a code rewrite that preserves slashcode functionality but builds it on PHP and CSS is appealing. I'm going to subscribe to it as well, to show some support and to see if among all these sites we can be exposed to some interesting things. Repeating a comment I saw there, Soylent has got the Slashcode up and running; Pipedot has the articles but no comments or moderation, and Technocrat has the comments/moderation but not much else. All the comments exhorting a consolidation reminds me of the "why do we need only one Linux distro?" conversations. I'm glad for the diversity - we all win.
