| | | The Day Digg.com Went Crazy
Some guy posted a story on Digg.com about a HD DVD Key - I'm not exactly sure what that is, but HD DVD or somethin' is a sponsor of Digg, so Digg removed it. Basically, all the members got pissed off, and at the moment, every story on the frontpage contains the key 
So hilarious.

In building and shaping the site I’ve always tried to stay as hands on as possible. We’ve always given site moderation (digging/burying) power to the community. Occasionally we step in to remove stories that violate our terms of use (eg. linking to pornography, illegal downloads, racial hate sites, etc.). So today was a difficult day for us. We had to decide whether to remove stories containing a single code based on a cease and desist declaration. We had to make a call, and in our desire to avoid a scenario where Digg would be interrupted or shut down, we decided to comply and remove the stories with the code.
But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.
If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.
Digg on,
Kevin | They've given in  Sorta...  |

You can decrypt all the HD-DVD's up to date with this code or something. Not that I care. |
