Hard to see how Dice's stock price is not just oscillating about an average over the past six months to a year or so. Slashdot seems to have recovered much of its comment volume from immediately after the beta boycott, although it may be down by historical levels. And, Dice just had a recent study get lots of news coverage about the lengthening time it is taking to fill various skilled tech jobs.

Maybe the CEO from Dice just wanted to buy a new house or boat?

Good comments. Yes, I'm noticing 100+ comments on some articles - an order of magnitude better than Soy and two orders of magnitude better than Pipe. But a heck of a lot of those comments are garbage, almost at the Reddit level of tomfoolery. Long gone are the days when it was a bastion of tough, knowledgeable nerds. They're still in there, but the signal to noise ratio has dropped.

Also, the new banner ads, like the one at the bottom that actually obscures the text, are unforgiveable and truly obnoxious. They're going to look like LinuxToday before too long, and LT is currently, totally unuseable it's been so stuffed with horsecrap on the front page. The content is like an afterthought, a little texty buffer zone that keeps the ad-choked sidebars from collapsing into each other under their own weight.
