This will not change Slashdot (Score 3)

I don't believe this will change Slashdot regardless of what happens with Andover's stock. If Slashdot were ordered to cater to a different crowd or change WHATEVER in order to boost revenue many of us who frequent this site would leave in droves. It would cease to be the community builder Slashdot is. Andover knows this, that is why they purchased this site and agreed not to change it except to rake in the banner ads. They know that if they force some mandatory changes on Slashdot, the community built up around it will go elsewhere. So take heart people and don't worry, I predict that regardless of the stock, Slashdot will not have any mandatory changes made to its content in any way.

Just my .02
