Slashdot beginnings on HN.

I always find it funny when new members of a community assail veterans with accusations of eternal September type of behaviour.

Because the date on the account tells you how long somebody's been lurking, or if they had previous accounts.

I have been lurking here since about 2 years before you created your account (see what I did there?), and while comparisons with Reddit may have been misplaced, comparisons with Slashdot look more and more apt to me.
