They were getting ready to sell digg for a couple mil...then a couple posts got deleted and it is now almost belly up in a rather short time.

I just got this as second hand info so not real clear on it right now...but here is what I know

Digg was poised to sell in a couple million dollar deal.

Now if you know how Digg works you know it is on a "democratic rule" where everyone votes top story and it stays top till it loses interest and so on.

Seems a couple stories that scored high with the members suddenly were removed or deleted.

Members got royally pissed and now...suddenly Digg is worth about the price of a domain name and not really a whole lot more (exaggeration but you get the idea).

What happened was someone posted a hex key for a HD-DVD. The post was huge(Dugg alot!). Well I guess Digg didn't want it to harm the buying of Digg(First I heard of Digg being sold) and deleted it, as well as banned some account.

I don't think this will have any permanent lasting affects on Digg. It all happened today.

From a multi mil to almost nothing in a day is going to have a long term effect no matter how you look at it

Okay. I found out what the key is.

It is the hex key, or code, to crack all HD-DVDs so you can burn copy protected ones.

Geez its hard to get anywhere in Digg. So slow.
