- insinuate, on 10/12/2007, -7/+238Did I miss a ***** digg meeting?
- growlzor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+91This key craze could effectively destroy Digg. Users feel betrayed, new users are saying ***** this noise, visitors to Digg have no idea whats the hell is going on and users are disappearing left and right. Who knew a series of letters and numbers could cause such an uproar. With that said... THIS IS MADNESS!

- Mojin, on 10/12/2007, -7/+68Does anyone else find all of this a hysterical as me?
- jacen, on 10/12/2007, -15/+73Perhaps once Digg lays back on the censorship and Kevin Rose apologizes to the community, then things can get back to normal. That, or Digg waits it out a couple days and people get bored with the number-fad.

Wrong.
What's getting out of hand is us losing our ***** rights to ***** corporations and interests.
Maybe you should wake up and give a *****. - illyriah, on 10/12/2007, -15/+65Censorship is out. Freedom is in.
- Lane5slacker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+49Digg has lost control
- danakin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46Madness? This is Sparta!
- TheWorm, on 10/12/2007, -105/+140Yes and it's getting out of hand. People are digging just anything as long as it has those numbers.
Please stop. Think before you digg. That's what made the site good. Intelligent voting. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -16/+46bury all non "key" stories, we control digg, I mean it is user controlled, right Kevin?
- loconet, on 10/12/2007, -13/+43To all those of you saying stop it.. ***** OFF.
People don't seem to understand that this goes beyond a silly little hex key. The key has been out for months. A new one will come and it will also be broken. This is not about that. This about consumers finally standing up against the ***** being fed to them by media giants. They crossed the line today when they forced digg to censor user generated content, not only articles but also comments and somewhat related content.
As a consumer i am sick and tired of getting fabricated excuses as to why i can't play what i've bought wherever the hell i want. NO, i dont care if you keep making up the story that DRM is to protect yourself from piracy. I don't buy it. DRM will be broken no matter what. DRM is there to ensure your revenue stream by controlling where I can play the content. Enough of that *****.
This is a revolt against the greediness and blatant disrespect for the consumer that comes from the mpaa/riaa.
SAVE THE NUMBERS, SAVE THE WORLD. REMEMBER The 1st of MAY. - HerrEisenheim, on 10/12/2007, -19/+46It's sad really. I think the maturity level on YTMND is higher.
- ilikefun, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30that picture was cleary edited using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28all hell has broken loose.............
- robshoy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26Okay, I suppose now would be a bad time to mention that Digg really needs to get a picture section....
- tapo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/5281/churchsignpn9.jpg
- cell00, on 10/12/2007, -17/+36This is just really ***** bizarre. I really don't condone what Digg did blocking and removing those users, although I can understand it because of the lawsuits, and I can't blame the Digg community for getting angry at this, but jesus christ is it really that big of a deal? I will just sit here and shake my head until this goes away and not a single user *really* leaves anyway...

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - ZaNkY, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22THIS IS RIDICULOUS! (quasi-madness)
I genuinely feel sad for Kevin, Jay and crew. I doubt they're crying over this, but they're certainly not drinking champagne over all of this. What's worst is that the Digg community in all it's "wiseness" is essentially *raping* Digg with those fateful numbers. The ENTIRE front page is just stories with the keys..... Come on, seriously people.....
Don't get me wrong, I'm against all censorship of any kind. But... Digg is in a tough position, and If Digg does get sued for the thousands of keys floating around.... and If digg does go under (god forbid)... I would be incredibly pissed at the collectively immature Digg user base for stabbing ITSELF in the back...
I'm probably gonna get dugg down by all the 12 year olds, but Digg's Crew: hope you guys figure this one out. Don't lose hope cause a lot of faithful members are calling it quits. I can't say I understand what you guys are going through (never been C&Ded :P), but I know we'll pull through.
I haven't been Digging lately (just reading) due to schedule conflicts, but the maturity level here is really driving me nuts (hence my urge to stand up for Digg). Be mature guys, instead of always trying to stick it to the man, pick your battles. Even in the name of free speech and all that goodness, this one is not worth fighting (at least here/now).

- amish, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17There is supposed to be NO censorship. USERS DECIDE what stays and what is buried. It is no ***** editors business to decide what story stays up and what gets buried. The community decides what they want to see.
- Lane5slacker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Digg has lost control
- Yaanu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Shame on us,
Doomed from the start,
May God have mercy
On our dirty little hearts.
Shame on us,
For all that we've done,
And all that we were:
Just zeroes and ones. - Ozzy73, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Do you even know what you are talking about? The key is used to be able to play hddvd's that you bought with your own money on a computer that you also bought running linux.
- vvargoal, on 10/12/2007, -15/+26This is getting stupid. How many of you can actually use this key to any advantage? Digg has no choice in the matter unless they want to shell out money in a lawsuit. Think before you start brainlessly posting the "magical kill the mpaa number".
- dynamx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13yup
- xistboi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10And now Digg shuts off user submissions.
- madmage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Is anyone else getting a 404 when submitting new stories?
It looks like digg might be shutting us all down for the night. - brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"Yes and it's getting out of hand. People are digging just anything as long as it has those numbers.
Please stop. Think before you digg. That's what made the site good. Intelligent voting."
And what happens when a story comes out that makes another one of Digg's sponsors look bad? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13I do... are you directly call me a moron???
*ignites imaginary lightsaber* - asuraci, on 10/12/2007, -25/+35Jesus, some people need to grow the hell up. I don't care how buried I get for this.
- Looshi, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Digg.
A monster has been created. - Darq1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10THIS IS LESBOS!
- Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Quick, bury the synaesthesia story.
- afruff23, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9This is the worst screenshot ever.
- danakin, on 10/12/2007, -25/+31Good job guys, Digg is seriously the laughingstock of the day because of how immature you are all acting.
While you are moaning and complaining and thinking you are doing something positive for a cause, you are making yourself, the Digg userbase, look like complete tools. - sparrowkc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8DUPE!!!
chucke chuckle... - sexycommando, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?
09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 - xkrwlng, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8key to the universe?
whats that O9-F9-11-O2-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-CO number for anyway? - BoomShake007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6but isn't 90% of the userbase complete tools?
- Sulleric, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Markthewiz: "Now lets see one of you peons post some code (no pseudo) that uses this key to decrypt an HD DVD."
Theres no code involved. You write the key on the disc with a sharpie. - vjrao, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5In light of the HD-DVD Hex-key fiasco over at Digg, we would like to immediately build a a team of developers to start a new Digg-like user-created news site that will NEVER, EVER be censored.
Please e-mail us at uncensoreddigg@gmail.com if you are interested.
We need to move fast. The internet deserves a user-created, uncensored news site with no ***** interference from anyone.

P.S. 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 - SadPanda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Classic example of reactance....

"Yes and it's getting out of hand. People are digging just anything as long as it has those numbers.
Please stop. Think before you digg. That's what made the site good. Intelligent voting."
Intelligent voting made the site good, yes. Presumption of control of the public voice is what's causing this broo-ha-ha. The continual bringing back of this issue to the front page, the constant posting of the hex digits - it's the public demonstrating *their control* of *their voice.*
If Digg wants to remain viable and vibrant, it needs to recognize that its value is in the freedom of the public voice, not in attempts to control it.
Think of this, too - if that very first story hadn't been nuked, this would not be happening now. It would just be Tuesday. I probably wouldn't have even seen the story, or seen it and went, "Huh, check that out," and moved on. Digg is the party that wanted to make a big deal of this. They've made their bed, now they shall sleep in it. - russellnation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4goddammit I love digg if for nothing else just for today
- scuvball, on 10/12/2007, -8/+12Get Over Yourselves
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4why cant i submit any stories....
- thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You obviously don't know how to use the code.
- jstohler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Why does it matter that every single geek know this code? All we need is a few programmers to know it so they can write the decryptors. And my guess is that they know it by now.
