I haven't been on /. forever but I think a strategy focused more around gossipy/soapy topics and embracing the long tail of your (stereo)typical IT worker (tech gadgets, scify, comics etc.) would be decent. HN covers the "techy" and "startupy" segments fairly well. I have no idea how SourceForge will turn out. In my mind it's tarnished forever due to the crapware shenanigans. They have some "community building" features that seem valuable, used to have a decent brand name and it's never bad to have an extra place for storing FLOSS.
