It's really sad :c I didn't like Megaupload as much as Mediafire, but I still respected it for it's download speeds. I'm sure it will be back, soon. But it's just sad, ya' know?

Although I'm sad that a filesharing site has went down, I'm glad that Kim Dotcom got arrested. I mean, he had cars with license plates that read "STONED", "HACKER" and "MAFIA". Seems like a nice gentleman... :rolleyes:
