About This Site

In the beginning there was no Slashdot. Bored and confused geeks would scribble "First Post" in the sand. Grits were strictly for consumption and there wasn't a place to get nerd oriented news. Then in September of 97 Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda changed all that. With the help of Jeff "Hemos" Bates and others, Slashdot has stumbled forward with the simple mission to provide 'News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters'.

Today Slashdot is owned by OSDN, but it is still run by many of the same people as it was 'Back in the Day'. Today we serve millions of pages to hundreds of thousands of readers. But the goal is still the same.

You can read more about each of the authors, including contact information, and figure out who to blame for what by reading The Authors Page. But the majority of the work is done by the tons of people who use the Submission Form to send in the stories that we post every day. Thanks go to them for helping make this site the cool place that it is.

If you like this site, feel free to steal some of the various pretty pictures we've got here and post them on your homepage, your moms homepage, or even your employers. $You can see the whole collection at The Slashdot.org Supporters Page.

If you're confused about any of this, it might help you to read The Slashdot FAQ to find out all the secret bits of information about how things function and what they mean.
