Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice
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."
FireFox .0 is fast!!
Yeah, that link totally doesn't work. Yet, the post it's in has a score of +5. Does this indicate that no one link-checks before they mod up for informative?
How lovely!
Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.
in other words, WHO CARES?
have the energy of BSD/OS. A log on Then the Since we made the Opinion in other accounts for lees insisted that Juliet Are together share, this news
"Well, aw'right, now aw'right! It's due to our persistent shitflooding and blogbashing efforts that we can claim this spectacular victory over a major epicentre of retardery! Congratulations, morons, for you have been pwned! Remember, regular local backups are your friend!"
Having concluded with these statements, the crowd burst into an ambivalent mix of outraged and delighted argument. rolloffle then unzipped his trousers and started to beat back the hordes of angry webloggers and journalists with his gigantic nigger cock, fleeing into a side alley. The massive conglomeration of people then enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display, sending the massive office building of glass and steel smashing to the ground and burying the suckers present.

I listened to the recording linked to by Doc Searls. Am I correct in assuming Dave Wiener is an unreliable Hebrew who has caught the gay flu?

How dare you do this to the community. I am going to put this on the front page of slashdot.org and gnaa.org. Lets see if you can pay your hosting costs then.

LOL!!
I must agree with you. Blogging is for faggots, and everyone knows it. Even the word Blog sounds like a slang term for faggot. Though if it truly were a conspiracy in faggotry, Apple ought to be involved somehow. I'm sure there is a connection, but I just don't see it right now.
The death toll from the Troubles in N. Ireland is currently around 4,000. Large parts of Manchester city centre were flattened after the IRA set off a 3000lb bomb there. Yet nobody feels they have to tiptoe around the subject and not use it as a metaphor because someone might be offended.
Stop being such a typical self-righteous American.
Now that I have your attention, let's summarize the threads, shall we?
48%: Dave Winer is a [great guy | internet saint | complete a**hat | arrogant prick] and something must be seriously wrong with his [health | mind | attitude | bowels] to have to abruptly discontinue this service.
47%: Blogs are a [useful tool | brilliant form of self-expression | blight on the internet | form of intellectual masturbation] and should be [lauded in all the earth | trumpeted from the hilltops | wiped from the face of the internet | grounds for committment to a mental health facility].
3%: No backups? HA HA!
1.998%: Blogs make using Google hard. Waah.
0.002%: Isn't Slashdot a form of weblogging?
Of course, the most interesting thing here is that reading the posts on each viewpoint tells you more about the writer than about the thing they are writing about. Oh no! Recursive weblogging! Damn, and I used to have a life before this whole internet thing.
