StudiVZ.net has been down for the last few days (and will be until tomorrow or so) to fix several severe security issues.

In the meantime users who hit the page get pointed to StudiVZ’s blog, which is now overflowing with comments on the latest scandals, news and server problems (I don’t think I have ever seen a blog post with so many comments).

I took some time to skim the comment section to get a rough idea of how the downtime has been accepted by the users and was pretty astonished to see one pattern of opinion over and over: While male users usually get very offensive (StudiVZ does not dare to censor comments anymore, even if they’re totally unacceptable, they’re only going for spam), 99 % of the comments from female users are in favor of StudiVZ’s team and express their anger about “the people who have nothing better to do than to come here to offend” it.

Clearly, StudiVZ has the whole german blogosphere against them (mostly males).

But how bad can the situation be if you got every third female student in Germany on your side?
