Why are they shutting down?

Megaupload and rapidshare and all that aren't so bad, other than the annoying limits and waits.

EDIT:
Relavent quote:
"They do have Ads, they are shutting down because of "the current economic conditions", implying that maybe not enough advertising companies want to pay them money this year, meaning that they can't afford to continue to run the site.

As for messing around with premium accounts, what could you offer in a premium account that would actually make people want to sign up without taking things away from the free users, harming the overall client base? They're not fileplanet..."

Once tried to conquer Earth, and succeeded! Too bad it got really, really boring, really, really fast.

One day, we shall all look back on this, and laugh. Sorry about the face, by the way, and the legs, and the eyes, and the arms. In fact, sorry 'bout the whole body.

I can't download from megaupload or rapid share due to the wonky IP address system in place here. We really need someone to come up with a bay12 file repository for any downloads we have to put up.

Not spartan on his ass, I'd go Pontikoi Thorakitai on his ass.

Also hello. :p

As for the church comment:

Churches are christian things, If anything I'd be the one going around starting churches on fire.

Temple to Zeus is were I'd be at, also how can I be the center of a religion older then the christian god.  :P I'm not even a prophet/false prophet.
