For something as important as "file storage" 12 months would be a safer option to make sure everyone was alerted and reacted. Or Ubuntu may keep the files as torrents/tars after that for up to 12 months and ask for a payment of for download.
- brewdad 13y agoThe problem with an extended shutdown is that it eliminates any sense of urgency to act. If I know I only have 2 months to find a new provider, I'll start searching and migrating now. Give me a year, and I'll ignore the problem for 10 months before acting.
- simias 13y agoFreezing the accounts would be enough to create this sense of urgency, you wouldn't be able to modify or upload new files on the system. You would have to look for an alternative at that point...

- diminish 13y agoyeah that's what i meant. People in special conditions who won't check their emails may lose all files... freezing in 4 months and keeping for 12 months may ensure nothing valuable is lost.
