Yeah because soup.io (Blogspam Link today) simply lost its data because they didn't migrate and the hard drive crashed.




That's what killed them? I thought it was just financially unsustainable.

Platform was dying for years before it was finally financially interoperable, before that they've lost over a year worth of contents due to some corrupted hardware. I can't exactly remember for sure that this happened during a migration, but the corruption of the main database was the main cause to lose that data.

In the end, there was just not enough money to justify keeping it alive.
