>if GitHub goes down, the software development world practically stops
Oh my goodness. Is this article just plain wrong, or does a large enough subset of Silicon Valley & friends actually do this that they mistook that behavior as including the other 99% of the software development world?
Normally if I get tired of maintaining and paying for monthly hosting of something I just let it die. In this case there are too many users of these services for me to comfortably do that.

Hahaha thanks guys, great way to wake up in the morning.
I'd thought my markdown parser was stripping <script> tags...turns out I was wrong. Probably should have tested.
Fortunately, it took about 30 seconds to find and delete the malicious comments using GitHub...point for GitBack. A quick fix is in place with a better one on the way.

Update: markdown is now sanitized. Malicious comments restored for posterity
Similarly if anyone is in high school or has a child in high school I'll hook you up with free tutoring, all I want in return is feedback!
