Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?

If they don't get the bot spam under control it might end up becoming a zombie site. Where less and less relevant content will be drowned out in spam.

There was a post on here, about a community already drowning in spam that the auto-mod couldn't stop. And for some reason they couldn't use the 3-party software they normally used to stop it. (That should still work, unless taken down as a protest to the api changes?)
