Sholesmod Shut Down?

[anon(10090)]

I was just checking to see if there were any updates to apps tonight and noticed that Sholesmod Updater has been removed from the market! Their site is down and the updater isn't pulling any roms. A quick google search and NObody is talking about it, so I think it must have JUST happened. Anyone know what's going on?

Sholesmod Updater was possibly the most user friendly inspired app in the market, I'm going to be really unhappy if someone pulled an Apple on them and shut em down.

Looks like MOTO shut them down when I go to their site it shows a Motorola sign

i was at sholes earlier and they said they are doing maintenance

Thursday night would be a plausible night - you know your customers and users are happy with your product when they start freaking out like ants whose hill has been kicked over during simple routine maintenance.

At least that's what it BETTER be. |:B

The more I think about it though...

Why would the app be gone from the market if it were routine maintenance or bandwidth issues?

When I go I see a MOTO symbolat the top with the web addressand the same thing

 

[droidweasel]

Sm update still downloaded 99.3b and flashed it but it doesn't see any of their roms even the oneson my sdcard

Does anyone know the irc chat room they started, i was always just using the link from their page, never thought to save it. =/

if it really is shut down, i'm guessing its because of the name, their ROM is not all that different from all the other ROMs out there, i wonder if MOTO didn't like them using sholes.

The moto symbol as the url mini-symbol has been there all along, so that can't be it.

 

[thebizz]

Ok cool today was my first time seeing it. don't go to their sight often

I don't know enough about irc to check it out, but I think I speak for everyone here when I say, GO GO!
