Slashdot dans le rang : La dure réalité des sites à 1/4 de million de visiteurs par jour
mercredi 31 octobre 2001
Dur de vivre caché pour un site d'info avec 250.000 visiteurs par jour
ZDnet a su détecter l'appel déchirant mais discret de Slashdot.
Appel à la souscription payante et annonce de plus grands bandeaux de pub, dissimulés au fond d'un message sur "slashdot updates". Après l'annonce de la correction de bugs et la mise en place d'un "Anonymous Coward filtering"

"... Just to shut down the conspiracy theorists, nobody is forcing us to make these changes : The navbar. The new ad formats. The subscription system. I could just say 'No' to changes like these. But Slashdot is now four years old ... and I want it to still be here four years from now. I hope you can understand the expensive reality associated with making this site happen every day for a quarter of a million readers..."
"Now flame me if you feel it necessary."

Slashdot.org, the "news for nerds" Web site popular among software developers and Linux fans, said this week that it plans to use larger ads and offer a subscription service.
When Slashdot increases ad sizes, it plans to introduce a subscription service for people who want to pay for an ad-free version. Jeff Bates, who runs the site, said Thursday that Slashdot will launch the new ads and subscription service early next year. The cost of the service has yet to be determined.
"The larger ad formats are coming about really because, as Bob Dylan put it, 'The times, they are a'changing,'" Bates wrote in an e-mail interview. "While we'll still be mostly featuring the 468-by-60 banner, we're trying to work with our advertisers and see how we can work together. Rest assured though, we'll still be only having one ad per page."
