Slashdot was here before HN.

It is likely Slashdot will still be here when HN is gone.

There's a lesson in that.

My gut feeling says no. I used to read Slashdot as much as I now read HN or Reddit. I hardly ever go there any more, and when I do it just doesn't seem interesting.

For me, Slashdot lacks the buzz it used to have.

They're sinking in the last year or so while HN is rising somewhat.
