Slashdot Killed My Kickstarter Campaign 163
New submitter agizis writes "Alex from Connectify here. I wanted to say thanks to all of you who commented on the Slashdot story about our Kickstarter campaign It was super-educational discussing Switchboard with all of you: you wanted your own servers, and we weren't doing enough to communicate what was so special about Switchboard. Based in a large part on your feedback, we blew up our Kickstarter campaign, and changed almost everything. Thanks, Slashdot. This isn't reddit, but ask me anything."

Stop. You're giving people here a feeling of relevance. They might try to fight the RIAA/MPAA in court next, or come up with a new way to find extra-solar planets, or create new physics, or even run for public office.
Who knows what they might do with this new feeling of power? It's dangerous, and you need to stop encouraging this behavior right now!

Thanks guy. Since we can ask anything.
Why is Slashdot so much better than reddit?
Because the stories hit Slashdot days after reddit so we've had plenty of time to think about our sarcastic posts.

No we won't. This just confirms our belief that complaining about problems on slashdot is all that is needed to make a difference.

Slashdot has generally become a hangout for hecklers and no-nothings who simply do not know what they are talking about regards new ideas and technology
So it's the internet basically?
