These are great ideas and I've saved them. Do you want to get in touch with me outside of the SD comment section? Would definitely be willing to speak more if you wanted to.
The deal closed less than 24 hours ago. We're going to look at all options in order to improve the experience. And, no, that doesn't mean we're going to roll out a crappy new interface without listening to user feedback. We want to make sure we get it right.
Our corporate site needs a refresh. That's for sure. Most of our brands exist independently so the BIZX site isn't the best barometer for how we will operate Slashdot.
Our core business is web media publishing across many verticals, but focused mostly on technology. We can't disclose the terms of the deal due to a confidentiality agreement.
The deal just closed less than 24 hours ago, so there are no immediate plans other than to try and gauge the community and make sure what we do is inline with the original Slashdot spirit. Our company is profitable, so we have no reason to resort to desperate deceptive or underhanded methods in order to make money. Our focus is making sure this community has the support it needs.

Not that I am aware of. I'll check it out though.
Thanks. We're going to do our best and we appreciate the feedback.

It's been less than 24 hours since the deal closed. We're looking at all our options but priority #1 is listening to feedback, hence this story.
Believe it or not, usually you can just start the process by emailing them or messaging them on LinkedIn.
Can you elaborate on this so we can take a look?

Get rid of the deceptive ad practices and unwanted bundled offers. Improve the feature set. More here: http://fossforce.com/2016/01/s...
I wish I would have met you before we signed the contract. ;)
We are not related to bizx.com. It's pronounced like "physics" but with a "b" ;) ... Not that anyone was wondering.
Waht?
Hopefully it'll prosper now. We have a good team in place and we're listening to you guys.
Just answering questions as I see them. We're not weighing our future decisions based on the anger level of the person who suggested them.

Feeling's mutual my friend
No scams here. In fact we plan to address all of the concerns Slashdot and SourceForge users have had in the past. I'm listening.

That's a good question. We think we have the resources and team to "make Slashdot great again."
SlashDot and SourceForge were both part of the transaction. SourceForge has a much larger staff.
Yeah we noticed those. We'll get them fixed.
Noted.
We're going to focus on doing a few things better rather than trying to do a lot of things poorly just to make ends meet from a business perspective.
