Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot and SourceForge Sold, Now Under New Management (bizx.info)
kodiaktau writes with a link to today's announcement that DHI Group, Inc. (which you might know better as Dice, the company that bought Slashdot and sister site SourceForge in 2012) today announced that it completed the sale of its Slashdot and SourceForge businesses (together referred to as 'Slashdot Media') to BIZX, LLC in a transaction that closed on January 27, 2016. Financial terms were not disclosed. DHI first announced its plan to sell Slashdot Media in July 2015 as part of its strategy to focus on its core brands, as Slashdot Media no longer fits within the Company's core strategic initiatives. KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. served as the Company's exclusive financial advisor for the transaction. (FOSS Force has a short article with some more info BIZX and the sale.)
Man, things sure were a lot better back when Dice owned this place.
Presumably they're working hard on not supporting Unicode.
I read the internet for the articles.
[...]and we can get some editors who actually read the site?
And destroy a tradition that dates back to when the site was independent, and run for love not money? Blasphemy!
Cold-calling people for ads?
W..w..W - Willy Waterloo washes Warren Wiggins who is washing Waldo Woo.
We won't get confirmation until we see this story in the front page again in a couple of days.
This probably means all us commenters are going to have to train our Chinese replacements.
You are welcome on my lawn.
You paid money for Slashdot and could not work out a lower user id than 4433507 as a part of the sale?!??!
I'd go for 666 if you were you. :)
Where the hell did Beta go? Everyone here seemed on board and then whoosh, nothing. Like a giant vacuum where no one can hear you compliment the web 3.0 interface. It's a wasted opportunity.
They could block him with a custom HOSTS file.
we're listening to you guys.
Now I know Slashdot is in trouble...

Man your 30th birthday is going to SUCK!
Well alright then.
I truly loved his articles.
Ok, that's overstating it. I loved it when he wrote an article. The content was negligible but you could count on really awesome comments.
One could say his articles were like the dud auditions on American Idle. You don't watch it for the crappy performance but for the vitriolic comments.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
They should sell slashdot more often.
