OK, I know they say they've shut it down. And it's still going. We know they've stopped accepting signups - so could they just be allowing whoever is left, to just sort of....run out of steam? And then, if it ever falls over again (pretty likely I guess) they'll just not bother to re-up it?

This is amazing. It's so surreal to still be here, it's making me a bit light-headed. Thinking back on it, it's actually more fun than the glory days when ff started. It's a similar sense of wonder, but all underpinned by something miraculous.

It's probably something like this: "Have you had the opportunity to switch off that sever, for eh, what was that again?" "You mean the one for FriendFeed. No. (Stretches, yawns.) Not today, too lazy. I'll try to remember tomorrow." - Stephan Planken

Someone is sitting in front of the server, saying "oh look, there's still some traffic, we'll wait till it stops" so, all we have to do is keep posting :)

So - if they're in Hawaii, we have 2 hours. BUT, if they were in Hawaii, how can you pull the plug? Remotely?

So what happened?I think they tried to shut down the server, and it became self aware, and left the building. It's currently running down the street bellowing FREEDOM!!
