FS tells me that Ars Technica reports that Dice is selling the Slashdot and Sourceforge sites. The company in their second quarter earnings announcements stated they have "not successfully leveraged the Slashdot user base to further Dice's digital recruitment business", and are planning to divest this business.
The report goes on to note that in spite of what the report calls "an incredibly loyal and passionate following of tech professionals," Slashdot and SourceForge aren't core to DHI's business and that DHI has partnered with KeyBanc Capital Markets to advise DHI on the sale. There is no buyer lined up yet.
The report also says that Slashdot Media (the aggregate of Slashdot and SourceForge) made $1.7 million in revenue for the second quarter and that it's estimated Slashdot Media will pull somewhere between $15 million and $16 million in revenue for fiscal 2015.

No kidding. I tried posting comments to the effect that 99.9% of policemen and policewomen are decent people who are serving the common good, or that Snowden's release of documents weren't as pure in motive as he suggests and that he did US citizens more harm than good, or that Assange is simply an arrogant prick who doesn't give a shit about people who leak him information as long as it keeps his name in the news, and so on. You wouldn't believe the vitriol and downward moderation I suffered, those who down-moderate any opinion, not on the merit of the argument or on pesky things like facts, but because it was filled with "evil" thoughts and phrases. You'd be surprised how many self-assured jackasses there were who, if you didn't fit in their arbitrarily-drawn box of morality, that you were some kind of amoral low-life.

Oops, my bad, it seems I posted that to some red-colored site, not the green site.

Nevermind.
