I'm not here for the pr0n or the fandumb.

There. I've said it.

I'm not surprised in the least at the steps that have been taken - and taken badly, by any reasonable standard - by Six Apart this year.

This is a service that has grown out of "throw me some cash for a server" to "we need advertising $$$ to support the infrastructure - holy crap!"

These things do impact your experience. In mine, shut-downs like this happened early, often and continuously - and unevenly. Early. Often. Always.

Not saying it's fair. It simply is.

And it very closely mirrors what's happening to us as a culture just about everywhere you turn.

Anything I would say? Well, last time I tried, I couldn't get the page to load for the sound and fury already in progress. I'd have to say there's plenty to go around as it stands.
