As has been stated before by the staff that there was no other way at this point to handle the situation. If they had not gone ahead and blocked WM then they would have been offline due to the immense traffic. So i fail to see how the users dont matter any more. The site is still here and running so people can still update. And just to be thorough:
You guys didn't follow the bouncing ball I alluded to. Let me say it in straight out terms, then.
We didn't want to go here (breaking WowMatrix) yet. We wanted to wait until after our new updater was ready. But:
We.
Didn't.
Have.
A.
Choice.
Why would we not have a choice? Because other sites were going to be implementing theirs today, whether we did or not. If we didn't go ahead with ours today as well, we wouldn't be running at all today. They (WowMatrix) would have jumped from splitting their scraping of both sites to scraping only one site, our site, since they couldn't access the other one. We'd be down today, completely and totally, no one would be able to get to our site at all. How does that help anyone?
We are truly sorry that we had to do this today when we couldn't offer another alternative. We really would have preferred to wait. We're sorry that it had to happen this way. I don't know what else to say beyond that.

Either the site is up and you can update your addons but WM is blocked. OR the site is down and WM works but there is no site to get your updates from.
