We felt an obligation to notify everyone beforehand, but we didn't feel an obligation to go bankrupt by keeping what we had built running.
I don't think that just because Matt built FAS he is obligated to update FAS, keep it free of spammers and scammers, or keep it running, BUT since he has built people's hopes up numerous times with promises that he is planning a new FAS he does have an obligation to tell people if he drops the plan (and since he has told people it will be ready "next week or next month" every time he has appeared since April, I do feel he should have appeared to say "it won't be ready next week/month" instead of just stringing people along for the past 5 months).

I was conciously trying to avoid the specifics of what his obligations are. I just strongly disagreed with accentnepal's "no ob theory."
But, since you brought it up, BBH, I DO believe he is minimally obligated to keep it free of spammers and scammers if he wants to keep it running. If he doesn't or can't, then he should let everyone know.
