thanks for checking in. I'm just getting through a month of traveling starting with Hivefest and ending with Splinterfest, and focused on working on the hardfork. For people asking during this time period, I was open with what was happening with the disabling, but today was the first day I had enough time to properly address people's anger and concerns and adequately explain. I appreciate you checking and noticing.
Tl;dr on the post I just made, the @followbtcnews witness has been disabled and will not be coming back online under that account.
