Slashdot and SourceForge Sold

Syntaxvgm · January 29, 2016

Slashdot and Sourceforge were just sold by DHI group ("Dice") to BIZX LLC, a company with a non-functioning website due to the influx of visitors.

Personally, I don't know what to think of this. I was not happy with the direciton of slashfdot since Dice aquired it in 2012, but I'm not sure if this is the right direction.

BIZX apperently owns http://123business.com/ and http://myvoipprovider.com/ as well, but they didn't stay up long enough for me to have a good look at them

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DHI Group, Inc. (formerly known as Dice Holdings, Inc.) (NYSE: DHX) ("DHI" or the "Company"), a leading provider of data, insights and employment connections through our specialized services for professional communities including technology and security clearance, financial services, energy, healthcare and hospitality, today announced that it completed the sale of its Slashdot and SourceForge businesses (together referred to as "Slashdot Media") to BIZX, LLC in a transaction that closed on January 27, 2016. Financial terms were not disclosed.

DHI first announced its plan to sell Slashdot Media in July 2015 as part of its strategy to focus on its core brands, as Slashdot Media no longer fits within the Company's core strategic initiatives.
