When they turn off Classic, that's when it will no longer be an organized boycott. Most will simply leave.

Once beta becomes mandatory, it's too late, and those who actually drive the conversations will just leave.
And if that's what Dice wants, that's what they'll get.
In what way is this other than a non-response to the root issue of the comment system being utterly broken?
So, look. The beta site... the comments section is in ruins. It should function as it already does.

Quit whining like little children and ruining the discussion on every single thread. You are damaging your own community with this rubbish.
Get over it. Things change, kids. This time, luckily for all of us - for the better (believe it or not).
The comments section IS the site. So how it is being in ruins "better"?
Because Classic is not yet gone. Because the old discussion system is still present, as it should continue to be. Because Slashdot's original nature is still worth arguing for, and all is not yet lost.
If we fail because Dice really wants to destroy those things we value, then so be it. We cannot keep them from driving the site off a cliff if that is where they wish to steer. But it will not be failure through our apathy.
Not if it doesn't include working links...
If only Dice had a way to learn from the past...
Wow. That is the clearest indication I've seen yet that there is no chance they are going to back down on this. "User Engagement", my eye.
Thanks for the link.
Wish I had mod points right now...
