**NOW WITH LINE BREAKS**

Please post this to new articles if it hasn't been posted yet.

  On February 5, 2014, Slashdot announced through a javascript popup that they are starting to "move in to" the new Slashdot Beta design.

  Slashdot Beta is a trend-following attempt to give Slashdot a fresh look, an approach that has led to less space for text and an abandonment of the traditional Slashdot look. Much worse than that, Slashdot Beta fundamentally breaks the classic Slashdot discussion and moderation system.

  If you haven't seen Slashdot Beta already, open this [slashdot.org] in a new tab. After seeing that, click here [slashdot.org] to return to classic Slashdot.

  We should boycott stories and only discuss the abomination that is Slashdot Beta until Dice abandons the project.
  We should boycott slashdot entirely during the week of Feb 10 to Feb 17 as part of the wider slashcott [slashdot.org]

  Moderators - only spend mod points on comments that discuss Beta
  Commentors - only discuss the Beta - Vote up the Fuck Beta stories

  Keep this up for a few days and we may finally get the PHBs attention.
