    Before everyone beats up on Akamai/Prolexic too much, they were providing me service pro bono. So, as I said, I don't fault them at all.

        might have had something to do with that record 620 gbps attack and then another right after of unknown size

        I'm wondering if they actually said they could not handle this attack (pro bono) or how they phrased the news.

        if the site is being hosted for free, why not also give the content for free?

        if you blog on FB how could your content be blocked? You would still get ad $

        he means because FB would own the content, as per their T&Cs

        yes, I know. But if he isn't monetizing, & isn't paying for hosting ($100k value) then FB is an option
