Title is sensationalist. Should be something like "Transition to Cyanogenmod.org"; Cyanogenmod is not offline, just cyanogenmod.com

Google already give you cyanogenmod.org when you search for cyanogenmod. Was this always their preferred domain, or is Google just that quick to update?

Post on cyanogenmod.org for those who prefer not to use Facebook: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/psa-transition-to-cyanogenmo...

For the sake of posterity, the original title was "Cyanogenmod taken offline by developer", and the link was to the same story, but posted on Facebook.

It isn't terribly sensationalist. Indeed a former team member is holding the domain hostage, it's not a simple transition by any means.

Just reading the title, I was under the impression that CyanogenMod itself was no longer available from the developer, not just the website. I'm not sure if "sensationalist" is the right word, but, it wouldn't pass an editor's muster.

Yes, perhaps "sensationalist" wasn't the right term; "false" would have been better. Cyanogenmod is not offline, and it wasn't the developer who took anything offline.

Good point about the old title saying 'by developer'. Probably since I knew what had happened already it didn't stand out to me, but I see how folks would think it meant Steve took it down.

Again I don't think the title was meant to read that way, but yeah I agree that was not clear and the new title/direct link is much better.

Oh I agree completely; I certainly don't think saket123 meant to mislead people at all. It was just an unfortunate choice of words causing a little bit of a dust up. Maybe now any relevant conversation can happen!

So let's all go answer or up-vote philp's comment!

Well they want to know how many people were lied to, it is mentioned at the end.
