    I switched from slashdot to Digg. Digg to Reddit when Digg started censoring the Blu-Ray decryption key (before v4), then was on Reddit until RIF shut down. I’m scheduled to get my 16 year badge this year I think. I haven’t posted or commented since RIF shut down though.

    I’m debating whether to sell my account or delete it. $75 could buy a lot of printer filament.

        Not sure which sites are legit, but accounts with karma and age badges can sell for cash. There used to be an exchange with filters for post karma, comment karma, etc. With 4 letter name (that’s a word) and 16 year badge I am taking a wild guess what it might bring in.

      16-year Reddit account here. It was the HD-DVD encryption key leak in early 2007.

      censoring the Blu-Ray decryption key

      Interesting. I remembered the key being used for HD DVD, but apparently it was both.

      That’s when I left as well and watched their v4 transition from afar.
