Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the omg-i-heart-ponies-lol dept.

Our marketing department has done extensive research over the last 3 quarters and discovered that our audience is strangely disproportionately skewed towards males. Like, 98.3% males to be precise. To correct this oversight, we have decided to subtly tweak Slashdot's design and content to widen our appeal to these less active demographics. Don't worry! We'll still continue to serve our core audience, but we hope you'll work with us as we try to find a balance that will work for all.

    Well you attracted me back... just to add another voice to the several great comments, both from those with accounts and those anonymous, that believe this "joke" is just sexism. Saying it's a joke and we should just take it as one is a form of bullying.
