DHI Group Inc. Announces Plans to Sell Slashdot Media

Posted by Soulskill on from the payment-in-star-wars-action-figures-is-acceptable dept.

An anonymous reader writes: DHI Group Inc. (formerly known as Dice Holdings Inc.) announced plans to sell Slashdot Media (slashdot.org & sourceforge.net) in their Q2 financial report. This is being reported by multiple sources. Editor's note: Yep, looks like we're being sold again. We'll keep you folks updated, but for now I don't have any more information than is contained in the press release. Business as usual until we find a buyer (and hopefully after). The company prepared a statement for our blog as well — feel free to discuss the news here, there, or in both places.

      Bill Gates.

      Replaces the front page of /. with a picture of him naked, rolling in money, pointing at you and laughing.

      If Bill Gates purchased Slashdot, wouldn't the logo be the classic "Gates as Borg" with the caption "You have been assimilated"?

    I'd like to see someone buy all three of Slashdot, Reddit and Digg. "SlashRedDigg, where trolls are the news."

    I'm not saying I know who's going to buy it, but a little birdie told me the new name is going to be "Trump News For Nerds".

    Seems like it would be cheaper to just stand up your own Slashcode server and call it NextDot or something. I'd rather spend the money on hosting than give it to Dice.

    But then your 3-digit UID would be worthless! And my 6-digit one!! And think of the lost karma! Oh, the humanity!
