Slashdot redesign is now in beta

Longtime /. user here, and this redesign will probably kill the site...not that it's as healthy as it used to be.

I'm not being melodramatic here, but it's crystal clear that Dice have no idea what /. is about.

At least HN and Ars haven't been ruined by PHB's.

Agreed. That commenting system looks so bad. I don't know what they were thinking.

As opposed to the old commenting system? If slashdot would have just stayed with the original commenting system (which didn't look much unlike HN), they would have likely stayed relevant. I don't think this beta does any more harm than previous design efforts.

Just because I'm not a fan of the new commenting system, doesn't mean I like the old one. I certainly don't. But I definitely prefer the old system to the new one.
