Am I the only one that’s a bit nervous about about a mass migration to maj.com? If a mass migration happens, the maj.com bandwidth shoots through the roof and Kevin is once again facing overwhelming bandwidth costs. If this happens, does he shut down that site too, thus leaving everyone in the same spot they’re in now? Generally, we don’t know if the issue is that Kevin is done hosting anything or only done hosting brickshelf.com.

Without any communication from Kevin on this matter, I’d be hesitant to rush to migrate to maj.com. But perhaps that’s just me.
