Can I ask my own question? Is this more than a hypothetical inquiry?
> Would you come back if it shutdown for a month?
1. Yes.
2. That's not what "shutdown" means. "Suspend" is closer to the apparent meaning.

If the wrong word is used, one that doesn't mean what's intended, then a correction isn't pedantic.

Is there a technical meaning to shutdown which I'm not following?
At risk of igniting controversy (or generating more heat than light), I might rank social media sites this way, from worst to best:
4Chan | Digg | Reddit | Slashdot | HN
Reasonable people may differ, of course. But I think there's little controversy over the idea that, when a site becomes popular, its quality necessarily declines -- unless there are barriers to membership.
