Jesus, this brands been passed around almost as much as a G- nevermind.

Anyone using BL get an email/introduction from them and or any idea if pricing is going to stay the same?

I'd be more interested to know who they might have tried to acquire before picking up BL...

Downtime.  D2jsp is one the largest forums on the net and uses BL. I'm curious how their admin will handle it when they have to switch.

Their notice to existing customers mentions no near term changes, but that "[SIZE=11pt]over time, you will be able to take advantage of our robust, integrated DDoS Mitigation architecture backed by intelligence derived from our extensive threat visibility."[/SIZE]

Seems the merger is already well under way judging by the associated websites and my sales rep's email signature.
