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.

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

Where can you get $75 for your Reddit account?

Man I totally forgot about those keys leaking and all the corpo shitheels deleting posts that contain it and then everyone getting shirts with the DVD key on the front and the BR key on the back.
