Yes. The backlash I've been watching from regular fanboys is overwhelming, and far out of proportion to a site going down. It's vindictive and ugly. Our entire style of conversation is twitted as a reason we are not as good as, say, most blogs, or comic boards.
It's as if they're completely ignoring full pirate sites like the numerous viral sites and 4chan, demonoid, and z-cult. The latter two have been shut down but never had the hate from other fans blasted at them.
There's something inherent about s_d that irritates most comics fans, and it ain't piracy!
