I didn't even know they had a chat. I've been AWOL from there for a year or two, so I saw the changes even more abruptly.
And yes, exactly, I don't understand why people think any free service 'owes' them anything. I mean, with free webservers I can understand it, becausre they're getting income from the banner ads, and those are usually professionally-run services, so you should expect some professionality. But dammit, these are people doing this for 'fun'. I pity them, reeally I do. Poor souls.
And it's not just a fanfic/ff.net thing, either. I've seen the same happen with Keenspot and Elfwood. The fucking fuck, man?
