Thanks for the feedback! Can you share a bit more about why you feel it's deceptive? The point I was trying to make is that database servers are relatively complex and expensive. S3 is still a server, but it's static storage, whic

I said that Mullenweg's explanation of the buyout makes him come across as a petty tyrant. I didn't say that poor communication is what qualifies someone as a tyrant.

What's outlandish about this situation is that Matt blocked WP Engine customers , not WPEngine itself. It would be one thing if WPEngine had an API key so that customers on its servers could access wordpress.org. Even then, it would b
