Today I need to share some unfortunate news: because of serious financial downturn, MetaFilter will be losing three of its moderators to layoffs at the end of this month. What that means for the site and the site’s future are described below.

mk:

Someone at Google tweaks something, three moderators lose their jobs.

EDIT: Matt Haughey weighs in with some interesting stats on HN.
