Updated Slashdot Advertising Policy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tightening-our-belts dept.

In response to increased advertiser demand, we have decided that we will post one story a day paid for directly by our advertisers. These paid "Slashvertisements" will appear daily amidst the normal stories you read here. Our first Slashvertisement is for our sister site, ThinkGeek , stuff for smart masses. From Linus' Autobiography to 42" Plasma Screens and Caffeine Products Galore, ThinkGeek has everything you need, except love. But enough of their gift certificates could bribe your way to that too! And check out their current exciting specials!. Also at the request of our advertisers, anonymous posting has been disabled. If you are interested in reaching quality demographics using Slashvertisements for your company, or just have questions about the new ad policy, email Hemos.

    It's believeable. If this had been posted tomorrow, or yesterday, rather than today, would anyone have been surprised?

    If you get DDJ, read the Swaine's Flames column on Slashdot's New Business Model.

    Happy april fools day, everybody. Even though anonymous posting has been disabled today (as I see right now), I'd put money this is just a joke.

    Just my two cents.

    You have no right to anonymity. That's the funniest April Fools Joke yet!

    Do you get the feeling that this is kinda like *them* trolling *us*? Wierd.

  5. Good Way To Test A Big What-if... by GeekLife.com · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They've been thinking about trying the no-AC idea for awhile now...What better way to test it out than to put it in as a big joke on 4/1?

    No one can justifiably get mad, but they still get to test out if there are less posts, view the overall quality of posts, and generally assess the pros and cons of the idea.
