A distinct possibility, but IIRC Slashcode has been in existence for
longer than PHP Nuke. It could be that PHP Nuke has cribbed code from
Slash. *shrug*
from [ http://cmdrtaco.net/rob.shtml ]:
"Towards the end of The College Experience I began putting together all my
skills and assembled a website I obnoxiously named Slashdot, and the rest is
internet history! I combined my love of Linux and Technology with my abilities
as a webmaster to produce a site that exploded in popularity and to this day
(as I write this, 6 and a half years later) is one of the largest and most
influential sites on the net."
The earliest archive goes back to December 1997:

I guess you are possibly right then.
Have you seen the obscene amount of overlap between PHP-Nuke and
Slashdot? They
even use the same language with the same typos and the same bugs.
The PHP-Nuke
team named one of their base themes after Slashdot.
See above. Could be the reverse of what you're proposing.
I dared *smile*. I happily run two sites on it.
You're a better man than I. Every single one of my [Post|PHP]Nuke
experiences has been marred with difficult upgrades, finnicky templates,
a distinct lack of documentation and long-way-round-the-horn solutions
to problems that ought to be easy.
I've been replacing our intranet *Nuke solutions with WP as the CMS. My
content creators and communications dept. couldn't be happier.
For the heavier-weight stuff, I've been pondering Mamboserver.
Mambo drives our LUG's Web site. My colleague who runs it seems satisfied with
it, although he has a great deal of respect to WordPress, which I recommended
to him all along. He wanted a CMS/announcement platform rather than a blogging
package. WordPress is called a "publishing platform", but is best
renowned as a
"blog thingie".
