    A sad premature death , cheating never really gets one anywhere i guess :eek::p:rolleyes:
     Due to a request from Digg (yes the real digg.com) we have to stop offering digg exchanges.
    Their lawyer sent us a cease and desist letter; we have until the end of this month to comply.
    So let's enjoy our last days ;)

    Yeah, digg boss was great! To bad I wonder if its possible to start a underground digg site? One that never gets indexed by the search engines by blocking indexing? This way digg could not find out? I wonder if it would work. I am not going to do it I am just wondering if its possible.

    C&D letters usually say the same: comply or get your ass sued :D

    But I think they could see it coming heh

    I'm wondering if it was just the domain name that was the trouble...

    Of course, a C&D letter can claim anything. I could send them to all of my competitors demanding that they take down their web sites. :D
