They were doing a REALLY bad job with it. They had large amounts of misinformation and refused to change it. They were primarily linux focused there (nothing wrong with that in of itself of course), but they seemed to refuse to research their info for the BSD's. If you see Jordan Hubbard's response at a few online forums discussing it, he doesn't lament the loss for the same reasons essentialy. I also think that the exposure could have helped the BSD's, but misinformation takes away from the projects. If they could have just done it a little better, all would've been good.

Perhaps it was a large part due to the original article at BSDToday talking about the misinformation.
