    I jumped over once to check the site and they'd taken down the "We're listening" post on the main page. Also, none of the comments were about the beta, so either the slashcott people really WERE thoroughly boycotting or they're aggressively censoring anti-Beta sentiments.
    Either way, pretty interesting.

    There are still comments about the beta but generally the people that are left are sick of them and the moderation reflects it.
    One of the problems with Slashdot and probably similar sites is when a meme gets overdone and the beta hate was getting to that point.
    Myself, I'll keep visiting /. for now but if the beta ever is forced I'll be gone. There's also a good chance that this site may replace /. for me, especially if users keep moving here.

      You probably know how Firefox ( and I guess other browsers as well ) let you put a commonly visited site's icon at the top toolbar?

      I only have room for a little over a dozen of them. Soylent is on mine right next to Slashdot. When I can no longer access the Slashdot I knew, I will delete the Slashdot icon. Once I delete it, the probability is quite low I ever go there again.
