LWN.net Closing Down

Anonymous Coward writes "The best Linux news site is calling it a day. Citing money problems, they are saying next weeks issue will be the last. I've been reading LWN.net since the very beginning. They have always demonstrated sanity, restraint and professionalism along with thoughtful commentary - unlike certain other well known Linux news sites. Very sad." They've had problems since last fall. It's been a good four year run for them.

Re:How'd you let this one slip by, guys?

probably because....
It's more true than you realize....

When VA Linux does close, please pass on SlashDot to me.
Seriously: Talk to me first, I'll buy it, whatever.

Make some changes:
Add many admins to help add news, write news, etc. Not the same three people.
Take away admin moderator points. You're biased therefore you shouldn't mod. Same reason I can't mod a thread I posted in.....

I'd even drop the adds, or add affordable text ads, so people can plug their own sites.. not something that costs 400 bucks or more but 5 bucks... or less.

Remember, consider me!!!
