People come home for a lot of reasons.My friend, Isaac just emailed me a link to an article by Michael Arrington titled, CouchSurfing Deletes Itself, Shuts Down.
They come home to remember.
They come home because they've got no place else to go.
They come home when they're beaten.
They come home when they're proud.
They come home looking for a door out into their past.
Or a road out into their future.
They come home for a lot of reasons, but they always come home to say goodbye.
From the article:
Three year old CouchSurfing, a beloved service used by some 90,000 members, had multiple database crashes, critical parts of the software and data were irretrievably lost, and the backups weren’t performed properly.Sigh. Those were supposed to be my people ...
They are not rebuilding the service.
They literally put themselves out of business.

CouchSurfing.com is most certainly NOT dead! All the feedback and rebuilt efforts taken my many around the world showed Casey & all that the community is just too amazing to let it die like that. So they're working on getting it back online within the next ten days.
Go check the site, log in, see what's going on, and get your hopes up again!
