Well. I do use digitalocean and reading that they screwed up with CSS tricks did affect my perception of them. You screw Open Source/dev community only once. Then you spend decades trying to fix your reputation and fail at it. Just ask Microsoft.

Whatever they do, they should keep the site running and keep it on WP as its an endorsement of open source and a great demonstration of their platform in hosting the biggest website framework on the Internet. (~43% of all web sites and 30% of all ecommerce sites are WP at the moment).

Or they can improve their bottom line by shutting it down or by moving it to some other stack that has no relation with what people actually use in the wild and screw their reputation up forever.

they screw us more than once already. CSS Tricks is not their first victim, there is also scotch.io, where I learn Angular stuff. One day I tried to visit a saved article in my bookmark, the entire site and all its subpage are gone, and just redirect to digital ocean. That is more screwed than CSS Tricks is today, all that content, puff, gone!
