The only thing that you could have done here was to make sure that
there was a redirect long before the old domain went cold.

Unless they get real annoying, I treat bots as users. At least they
are honest enough to not forge an IE UA.

Very good, and I see that you have an RSS feed as well. But get rid of
the Atom feed! What is it there for? Do users really need to make that
choice? Why don't you give them a choice of HTML 4.1 or XHTML 1.0 for
the pages as well?

No, you _don't_ want different content on www.sf.org as on sf.org!
Either serve the same content (and thus have the pagerank divided
between two pages) or 301 one to the other.
