itunes.com— diggnation is no longer available through the itunes music store. i guess apple is unhappy with all the subscribe clicking we have been doing.

Ok, people need to learn to READ what is going on BEFORE POSTING. Look at the Top Podcasts listing, see the header there: TODAY'S TOP PODCASTS. There is NOTHING wrong with the ranking system. IT SAYS RIGHT THERE.The site is down, the link is dead, no one has any idea why. All this hate mail that is likely being sent to Apple by imature people isn't going to make anything better.
??? Ok, what am I missing here? What exploit? I searched digg and can't find anything. Apparently I missed some story that came and went today? What did diggers do, or what was the exploit that diggers took advantage of? Apparently I missed something along the way...?
"If people falsely misrepresented subscriptions by continuously clicking on the subscription button within iTunes then I think Apple was correct in banishing Diggnation."That is bulls**t thinking. Kevin or Alex did not condone this. It'd be different if they were telling their listeners to exploit this bug and abusively vote for their show.The world would be a much more corrupt place if things worked the way you wanted them to, you ass.
iraqmanic, I am a OSX guy, but I agree with you, with a narrow focus in this case, iTunes as a jukebox, manager and aggragator og music is great, but their podcast side sucks hard, they rushed it out without a thought to how it needs to work (bit torrent, standard xml) and now they punish Diggnation for their own hole??? Kev and Alex have a great case against Apple...lets just hope apple can clear this up before the lawers are called in, which if Kev is as good a business man as he seems, may have already happened.

The system states that the top podcasts are "Today's Top Podcasts" The system doesn't need to be fixed, people just need to learn how to read.

We should all spam every podcast one at a time and get them all banned.
