Keeping an internet facing service online is unfortunately expensive if you want to keep it patched.
The need to migrate to a new OS every few years to keep the security updates going does force them to weight the pros and cons periodically.
I don't like it happening but I can see how they can decide to pull the plug.
I understand they pulled the plug, what pisses me off is them being assholes and saying that you can't look for an alternative to a service that they decided to kill.
Fair enough.
Its exactly the kind of thing the Stop Killing Games campaign is trying to help with.
