Delicious
As most of you have already heard by now, on Thursday the information that Yahoo was planning to shut down delicious leaked on the internet. Considering the bookmarking site's role as a way for people to keep track of their favorite fics and of its use by many communities as a sort or archive/way for people to find fics more easily through tag filtration (ER being included in this second case), this piece of news did not go well with fandom.
Yahoo has clarified that they are in fact trying to sell delicious, not shutting it down. The 24 hour delay in providing answers may mean that this was not their original plan, but it seems they are bowing (at least a little) to the public outrage. We expect more information about the fate of the site in the coming days.
In any case, the mods just wanted to reassure you that we are aware of the situation and are following the news as they unfold. If the worst does happen we have a saved copy of ER's bookmarks and will look for the best possible place to host them. Suggestions for alternatives to delicious are very welcome.
