Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-such-small-portions dept.

marmoset writes "Citing the high costs of running the free service, performance concerns, and health problems, Dave Winer closed down the weblogs.com hosting service without any prior notice. As many as 3000 sites are now inacessible, and the users who want to transfer their data elsewhere have to ask (politely) for it to be exported. As might be expected, reactions range from understanding to enraged. Netcraft has a report, too."

    Let's hope he finally fades into obscurity, where he belongs.

    I don't know about not paying... I would definitely pay to keep the blogging fucktards off the net, if it was even possible. Or at least off Google's searches.

    Let's face it, searches for some subjects have become a completely useless exercise. Anything which happens to be the current fashionable topic for these fucktards to whine about, is being drowned in dozens of groups of 1000 blogs linking to each other. The actual information is _polluted_ by tons of _garbage_ spewed by fucktards who actually work hard to that end.

    Their whiny shit showing on top on Google is like being elected mayor of Loserville. The apex and chief achievement of their pathetic lives.

    Yes, you can use minus keywords or other such tricks in Google, but by the time you worked out the combination which actually gives you any actual information, you could have gone and bought a book on the subject.

    It's sad. What was once a valuable medium for finding information, has been polluted by a retarded vanity contest among fucktards.

    And, just to be fair, the same goes for the gazillions of retarded CS clan pages and such.
