Some comments:
1) I think the reason why miles had to emphasize that homestuck isn't dead is because gio literally titled his article and all his advertisments of it as "we couldn't save the UHC" which led to MANY MANY reddit posts, twitter posts, forum posts of people panicked that the UHC would be gone and that any way of reading homestuck would be gone. This was incredibly misleading and I would assume intentional on gio's part to get people worked up because let's be honest; most people aren't going to read every word of that post WHICH also failed to mention that he was the one that took down the UHC page.
2) what is "creative independence" over writing a hosting server for homestuck....
