Announcing an intention to establish a Slashdot replacement seems like a pretty silly move. If you go back to the genesis of most news aggregation sites, rarely were they announced with pomp before being unleashed. Usually they're built, seeded with content and an aura built around them by a dedicated and high quality early audience.

Besides, Slashdot built it's model up in a digg, reddit and hnews-free world. To say nothing of Twitter and Facebook. Good luck in your endeavor, but I'm going to spend my limited mindshare elsewhere, thank you very much.
