User Friendly & Dave Shut Down

Word on the User Friendly site is that the popular geek comic strip has been "Shut Down Pending Litigation." I do not believe this is an April Fool, if it is, they've been laying the groundwork for this for a while, since there have been rumors for some time now that one of the targets of some of UF's humor has been in legal mode. As the page goes on to explain, more details should be forthcoming: "Further information regarding this litigation will be made available within the next 72 hours." I'll certainly keep an eye out for any possible ways concerned fans of the strip can help. Similarly, Dave's Classics has posted a notice that they too have been closed, at least temporarily, due to litigation as well (though posting ROMs for emulators certainly makes this a less unexpected move, since the legalities involved have been the subject of considerable debate). According to the site: "Due to recent legal action from a video game hardware manufacturer, UGO must temporarily suspend the service of the Dave's Classics website and FTP server. Unfortunately, until we have resolved this situation we may not be able to comment or update you on the situation." I'll post more on both these situations as information becomes available.
