Most importantly, we want you to know that Classic Slashdot isn't going away until we're confident that the new site is ready.
Well, that's a pretty weaselly statement, since you guys were confident enough in your new site to start redirecting a significant portion of your users there.

Is there a single comment even complementary to Beta rated above 3? Even if there was 30%, Dice should scrap beta.

But I've never seen mass, universal condemnation for a change. Not even in politics.
