I switched back to Blogger commenting right away, with the J-Kit buyout happened some time back. Glad I did ...

This is a friendly note to let you know the HaloScan servers are 6 years old the service needs to be shut down. No free service can continue forever.

Khris, while I appreciate the note... you guys ever heard of VMware? You can do a PtoV conversion in like nine seconds to replatform the software.

And if you're stuck with old OSes like NT and 2000, you can use SolidCore to secure the systems so you can keep 'em running indefinitely without getting pwned.

No free service can continue forever.

Really? Heard of Google? How about Yahoo? Free services that appear to be profitable?

Haloscan was serving up ads on every comment page, for heaven's sakes. Granted, they did an incredibly poor job of it -- and the tool itself basically suuuuuuucked -- but don't blame the users for your failed business model.

And two weeks notice?

Weak.

Well, thanks for having the cojones to show up and comment, but feel free to relay the remarks to the powers-that-be.
