I remember when Slashdot seemed like the only game in town. Things can reach a tipping point very quickly.

SA and Fark were both pretty big internet communities back in the prime of Slashdot. In that I remember there were quite a few friendly (and less than friendly) rivalries going between the three.

What was the proper successor to Slashdot? Digg?

I somewhat lost touch during that period. When I came up for air, it seemed to be HN, StackOverflow, and Reddit (~2009 or so).
