I remember when I stopped reading slashdot was when they got acquired and lost their indie edge.

I wonder how much was paid for the forum...? But I guess things should go downhill for WUS..

Quite subjective, you should also consider how much is WUS receiving in terms of advertising revenue.

SPH paid a small amount for HWZ and 60M for sgcarmart.

For a market size like WUS, who knows :)
