I've not been awake near long enough to have any idea what this article is telling me, but I'm interested, so I'll reread it later.

Some good digging by that reporter there, hope he can get to the bottom of this. I just hope it doesn't turn into a mudslinging match, there's no reason for it to get dirty.

I think he's digging a bigger hole for himself. Seems like he's trying to shovel this down everyone's throat to prove a point. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets buried in allegations for slander.

What? Seriously? He was careful to merely call them "suspects" and not "digg" throughout the article. He gave them time to respond before it went public. Once they were notified, and before it went public the account activity ceased. They can ban accounts, they cannot stop them from digging. If they were an outside group they would be banned.

The research was level headed and concise, well explained with other potential explanations.

I don't see any negative on this guy at all, only 99% certainty that digg just shot both of their feet off.

I'm pretty sure he was just going for a good pun.

This.

And honestly I didn't even read the article, just went for the pun. Maybe I'll read it later today.

I never got into Digg. 

I still read Fark daily though.

After the digg update, I've come to like reddit, thanks to the suggestions of some of the other redditors on here.

Yeah, far better community. Like every site, it has deteriorated and the frontpage is largely memes, but it still has hilarious and informative stuff.

I jumped ship to Reddit as well. Beats the hell out of Digg.
