Just to clarify, I didn’t write this, and I don’t know who did. But I laughed pretty hard reading it.
(For those who don’t know, the “hubbub” in question is the hatelife community struggling to figure out why Steve changed hatelife back to what appears to be version 1.0 of the code - though honestly, I don’t remember hatelife ever working quite like this)
UPDATE: See this post for information about the hatelife archive.
I'm a 30-year-old 
Heehee . . . that is funny.
I remember hatelife way back when.
Hell, I remember kmorg way back when.
I remember a lot of websites way back when, which is odd since “way back when” really just refers to 1997.

Well, it always was Hate/life/.org.

I think Steve out-assholed you a long time ago. It’s kind of disappointing - you should’ve really stepped it up.

Hey it’s Dan and I set up an email for people that I don’t know how to contact anymore. Feel free to drop me some text if you end up digging this deep.

… looks likes it has been unplugged. Can’t even ping hatelife anymore. Hatelife and Ronald Regan died on the same say. Coincedence? It hink not.

i had to tell Madison, “My First Journal”, that her first journal is gone forever…she cried.
it’s not even like she had a community - she only faithfully read dan.
she’s seven. nice going.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much this comment upsets me.
Topavia:
1) It’s not our fault that Steve took hatelife down.
2) It’s not our fault that you didn’t keep a backup of your journal.
3) It’s certainly not our fault that you made a seven-year-old cry.
I understand that you’re upset about hatelife - but try making sure that you’re dumping on the right people in the future.

Gosh, its only a journal site and there is a big fuss about it. Littering rusted is completly pointless, who gives a shit if steve took it away, it belongs to him , not us. GetItTogetherPeople, its the damn internet for christs sake.
Thankya Thankya

I liked Miles better than steve anyway…Miles doesnt make little 7-year old girls cry, LOL!! that was classic!
June 10th, 2004 at 8:40 pm
the “nice going” wasn’t meant for you. it was more of an in general statement…a good portion of which was directed at myself. i do have back ups of my journal, just not of Madison’s journal.
i appreciate the hatelife updates. thanks.

I’m really happy to know that hatelife is going to be up and running soon. I still don’t understand why??? I don’t have a back up of my journal, but I think my boyfriend found his old stuff, I know it’s out there…I hope to see all of you again soon!
June 18th, 2004 at 4:42 pm
are you sure hatelife will be back up??
and the only good reason for the site going down would be if some natural disaster (such as an alien abduction) made the server go down.

I cried when I realized my journal was gone. I understand why Steve did it, well at least partially. We were asses. I didn’t keep a backup. I posted at least once a day for almost a year. I felt like that part of my life was deleted. I also felt melodramatic. Now that I know hatelife is coming back I feel much better. I am taking everything off there as soon as the site comes back and then continueing (sp.) with my life.

eek. i was thinking i’d like a journal again and found this in my first search.
i was so, well, relieved when my journal disappeared. you know, one less thing to worry about, but i did feel sorry for a lot of the people who used hatelife.
oh well, sorry for adding to an old thread.
not that i was part of the community any more than that strange guy who lives out of a shopping cart down the road, but this is too weird.
hope everyone’s having a good ‘un.

too bad hatelife is gone, didn’t have a back up of my old journal, got a new one though…seeing dan, topavia, jim_, havalina and all the other people from hatelife in here made my day…hope you guys are doing well.
July 25th, 2004 at 8:28 pm
i honestly dont know how i found this, but yeah. it sucks majorly that hatelife was taken down, but hey.. life goes on. i bet no one remembers me, i was just kind of… there. but its cool to see some familiar names on here.
much love,

anyone know of a good replacement for hatelife? I want something small and obscure, away from the livejournals and blogspots of the world. drop me one, my username is pinchhazard and my domain is gmail.com.
