This, I agree, angers me the most. The fact that they don't retain anything past 30 days is just abhorrent. > They had to cut it back from 30 so their overloaded servers could support > all the new junk they're cramming onto it.

Hm... is it? Let's check 99.9% uptime for 90 days: That means that 0.1% was downtime. Of 90*24=2160 hours, that's 2.1 hours of downtime. Considering that they shut down for 2 hours every week, by default they're already lying regardless of additional downtime!
