I was prepared for my friends page on LJ to be full of "It's SixApart's fault" but didn't expect to see it here! Six Apart bought the company but have made no changes, the servers would be down whether they'd done it or not, so to claim it's their fault is just pretty dumb, IMO.
They purchased the entire thing, the servers, the staff, the coders. Basically, nothing changes except the ownership. It frees up Brad to develop the system more efficiently and not worry about the business side of things, and SixApart can input where they have more experience (navigation, design etc).
