Exodus Files For Chapter 11 Protection

Exodus is one of the largest hosting facilities, and their major competitor, Above.net (owned by MetroMedia Fiber) is in pretty much the same boat ... circling the metaphorical drain of the dot-com world." Note that filing for protection from creditors while reorganizing is not the same as hanging up a big "closed" sign -- Exodus is still operating, and hopefully will be able to keep the LEDs turned on for a good long while (since Slashdot is hosted there).

  1. Die! Exodus, Die! by phillippaxton · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's about time. Exodus and some of the other cited services (above.net) are some of the biggest spamhauses on the 'net. Now if some of the other spamhaus supporters (e.g., genuity.com) would die the 'net would have a LOT less spam!

    I'll be the one dancing, cheering, and urinating on the grave of Exodus. Those cocksuckers there filled my e-mail box with so much spam that my only reaction to this story about their misfortune is great happiness.

    So to Exodus, those mega-whoring spam bitches, I say GOOD BY AND GOOD RIDDANCE.

    Yes, I know this is flamebait, but it feels real good.
