Update: Strike action successful. July 22: Pharyngula back in action. The official name for the departure of bloggers from ScienceBlogs: DisasBora., evidently coined in a tweet by Ed Yong.
Background on PepsiGeddon. I was wrong -- the ScienceBlogs/Seed Media scandal wasn't shortlived at all.
Now, following Bora's departure, PZ Myers has gone on strike.
All strikes have demands. Here's a shortened version:- Immediate formation of a mechanism for communication between management and bloggers.
- Prompt responses from management.
- Regular updates on the status of tech support, and input from bloggers.
- Transparency. Bloggers need to be informed about any problems in the parent organization, and we'd also like to hear more good news, too.
- More trust.
