Hardly blogspam, the source you cited is listed clearly as a source at the bottom of the article. It even gives credit to the referrer.
"John said Sally got a noew job, how do you feel about that Debrah?", "That's great." said Debrah. "I can't wait to tell Frank!" "Frank, John just told me that Sally got a new job!"
It also contains 200 words of original commentary as a lead-in, and the report is less 300 words in total.
Honestly we were confused by the whole partnership. We kept submitting tickets to Dreamhost which they did a poor job of fulfilling. We liked the idea of Cloudflare and we were mostly willing to stick it out. Not only that, but we had several great ideas about how we might leverage your offering against some other things that we wanted to accomplish.
The real reason that we stopped using Cloudflare is that when you were unable to serve the cached page, it throws up a Cloudflare branded page. We thought that those sorts of error pages would diminish our image as an open source publication because it seems to suggest that we can't rely on our own tools and abilities.
If we were able to display a "Powerbase" branded 404 type page, we would have been more satisfied.
We tried to use Cloudflare when they teamed with Dreamhost a few months ago. We had more downtime than uptime....
Though this is super-relevant because during the struggle with Cloudflare, we released an article about LOIC and how easy it is to reveal the locations and identities of individuals involved in a DDoS attack using LOIC.
