From the page: “On January 23, 2008, the Digg servers went down for about an hour. What happened when they came back up has left plenty of people wretching in disbelief.

Digg has pretty much taken a crap in a cup, and asked everyone, including even the top diggers, to partake in the offering. It now takes (barring a miracle, or a massive, collective pre-planned quick-strike diggfest), around 200 diggs to go popular, which leaves many (including me) to wonder… is Digg TRYING to drive away users, and if so, why?”
