I'd like to add my frustration to this sudden change and lack of clear reasoning. I registered an account with scribbld to keep a private diary of my therapy at diary, including self help resources, tracking my mood and progress, filling out dbt/cbt forms, writing diary entries, and setting goals and making reward lists. I had made a lot of entries and comments already this year and visited the site daily.

Suddenly all of it — my links, my distress forms, my progress charts — is gone. I can't even log into the account since it's owned by someone else, and I don't have a code to create a new one, thus the openid. I'm also upset that there doesn't seem to be any announcement of these changes nor response to complaints after five days of the rollback.

I'm really unimpressed. If you're closing, at least give your users the courtesy of some notice so they can back their shit up on a more reliable hosting service.

Yeah, I'm really pissed off too. Is it really so hard to send out one single mass email to the userbase to notify them of the change, or to at least make an announcement about it in the news account? I really hope they didn't do this on purpose... because that's pretty fucked up. I had no backup of the new journal...
