Slush is planning/programming new reward system and all sorts of other stuff. Hopefully his pool will endure this hard time and be reborned like phoenix :-)
He's been planning/programming that "new" (pretty sure it's just PPLNS or DGM) reward system for the better part of a year if I remember correctly...
In 2012 I posted

Note: On Friday 13th April local time, Slush gave a timeframe of a few days for a change over to a DGM payout method, which is provably fair and quite flexible. If his change over estimate is accurate, the new payout method should be on line sometime next week. Please keep the changeover in mind during my discussion of the exponential payout system.
This had been an option for some time, and even at the end of 2011 I remember him saying he'd change the reward method.
