As a former long-time Slashdot reader, the progressively-worse site designs were far, far more disruptive and harmful than any changes in the quality of the discussion might have been. Their beta site was what made me stop visiting earlier this year. The fact that such an unusable design could seriously be considered in the first place was partly responsible. Their lack of action when confronted with lots of very legitimate concern regarding the beta site was also responsible. Maybe things have changed since then. But I wouldn't know for sure, having not bothered to go back there.
