I think we need to give the community more control as the community here is, in aggregate, more thoughtful and prolific than any staff of editors we could hire.
There's no doubt the site has to be more community driven. Even editorially. What do you think about the community having a lot more control over what makes the front page?
Thank you. The community here is no doubt Slashdot's greatest asset. I think we need to make changes so that the community has a greater say over what makes the front page, if not total say.

Can you re-send? I've gotten hundreds
Good calls
I agree with most or all of this. What do you think about giving the community more control of what appears on the front page?
Unfortunately press releases like these have to be approved by both sides of the sale. We'll get "naked and petrified" in future ones for sure though.
Not allowed to disclose it due to contractual obligations.

Ok I'll keep an eye out
Great idea.

Give us some time my friend. It's been 72 hours. It's not easy to fix a site that's almost two decades old.
Timothy is still here.
Great points
It'll be front page as soon as we fix it. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hahah
This is a good idea.
Interesting.
Good call.
All noted. Thank you.
Great to hear!
That's a good idea. We will post a story like that soon.
