Possibly the strangest email I ever got from a start-up...

Hello,
This is a message from theoldreader whom you have flattred.
Hi!
As you could have read in our blog - http://blog.theoldreader.com/ - if nobody takes over The Old Reader in two weeks, we will be closing the website for general public. Obviously, we will still run a much, much smaller site for ourselves and our friends, and we will be migrating accounts of all users who helped us keep the project running.
Unfortunately there is no way we can identify The Old Reader accounts based on Flattr usernames. Therefore, if you would like to get transferred to the private The Old Reader, we kindly ask you to submit your account information using this form: [link]
We are very excited about this change. During past several months we proved that two friends with full-time jobs can reasonably well run a popular website for hundreds of thousands of users. However, "reasonably well" is not how we want to do things. We would rather have an awesome reader for several thousands of our friends.
Thank you for understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Regards,
The Old Reader team.
