Not to feed any conspiracy theory, but you may not have noticed that Flyertalk was down for an hour or two shortly after the news came out on Monday. Not only Flyertalk, but a couple of other vBulletin systems that I participate in - primarily travel related (one of which I *know* is NOT hosted or reachable by the same network path as FT). They came back up about the same time.
Odd coincidence.
