Nice off-topic comment If you don't like the Beta you don't have to use it.

reddit This is a site which you think has a better layout than /. Beta how?

If you want to be critical of the new Beta fine but make that constructive criticism not what you are doing now which is not insightful especially when you criticise and basically insult Slashdot moderators who have generously marked you as that. Sure some the moderators may not be happy with the changes and even myself had problems with the Beta reply system which required me to switch back to the Classic.

On a good note at least you aren't swearing which allot of posters (mainly but not all AC's) appear to be doing so there is room for constructive dialogue.

Sometimes they evolve organically. Often, some interested party steps in, and turns it all upside down and ruins it. When this happens, the standard is often likely to fail because it didn't meet the needs of the users (the real stakeholders).

This is sort of what is about to happen to slashdot with the introduction of Beta. Some interested party with power steps in, and flips it upside down. What they fail to realize is that Slashdot isn't a website. It's the users. And Slashdot users are a very special class of curmudgeons... take your Beta off my lawn and shove it.

There are NO "beta addicts"

The community has universally spoken against the new look. I have not seen one post that has been in favor of it. In over twenty years of being on the Internet, that is a first for me.

The only people who seem interested in the beta seem to be the people at Dice pushing it down at us. There are numerous speculations as to why this is (an earnest belief it improves the site, somebody's reputation on the line, or an attempt to orient the brand at a new demographic). Dice's continued silence on the matter is quite telling, however; it is obvious they are not concerned with what the community thinks about the matter.

At the moment, I am still coming back to Slashdot because the circus and uproar about the beta is just too much fun to miss out on, but like many here I expect that - barring a reversal of intent on Dice's behalf - I eventually will migrate to some other website.

Already some suggestions have been made:

Ars Technica
Alt Slashdot (currently in development)
Subreddit /r/Slashdot
