Comment on Cause of YC/HN outage discoveredparent

Comments

I don't think anyone will disagree. What they will assert, however, is that shutting down a site with zero notice is a jerky thing to do. As the other commenters have said, the nicer/smarter thing to do would've been to send an e-mail that says "Hey, you're using too much bandwidth/whatever." The smartest thing of all probably would've been, "You're using too much. Want to by more?"
