tl;dr version: Dice, the latest company to buy Slashdot and try to milk it to death, unveiled ``Slashdot Beta'', a hideous flat, web 2.0-ish, metro-y design for the site, and redirected 25% of traffic to it.
Slashdot, pretty unanimously, said ``Fuck Beta'' and started talking crazy talk, like forming a splinter site (yeah, like that would ever work!). It's given me a bit of hope for the future to see /., which I had thought of as gutted corpse crawling with the unsavory of our profession/hobby, to still be able to recognize shit when they see it.
