I both agree and disagree with lots of the sentiment above. I personally stopped mining on deepbit despite the ease of it, low variance, fast payout because I know of the dangers (more than just forking really) and would like to see bitcoin in general succeed. But I'm also a fan of personal responsibility. If bitcoin is made up of mostly people who don't care about any of the projects goals, or the project itself, and just want their magical money fountain computer to spit out gold dollars, well I can totally understand that.
And if bitcoin dies a horrible screaming death from people getting scammed and bitcoin losing all credibility in its fledgling period and we all cry salty tears at our lost opportunity because of it, that's fine, no one did that to us, we did it to ourselves. And if bitcoin runs on invincible in the face of laziness and apathy, and I make thousands of dollars off it, I'm not gonna complain about that either.
TL;DR.
I suggest you don't mine on deepbit. If you want to tho, that's cool.

Seriously, how many people who have no idea will read "Deepbit Approaching 50% Once Again". They'll be like "awesome, my pool is the best!!!" and continue as before. People who know the danger probably don't mine on Deepbit anymore.
How do you fit so much naive into one little package?
Average miner: "OMG overclock nom nom pools variance is bad KW/h my pool is winning PROFIT!"
You can't fit, "consider the intentions of the project and ignore what you're reading from your fellows in your Modern Warfare clan" in there.
For the people that do understand.... the risk/reward of participation is something they're willing to accept.
Eventually.... the weekend warrior crowd will leave out of boredom (or when Diablo 3 comes out, I suspect) and the network will hopefully be more neutral.
Stop creating new threads about this and bump the others that you've been participating in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
moral of the story: join the smallest pool 
Miner Dundee: That's not a pool. This is a pool.
Why not have a Tropical Lifesavers terror alert for these situations like so:
1. Gold rush!
2. It's a party!
3. What's your sign?
4. Who are you people?
5. I must be drunk. I'm seeing two wallets.
Stop creating new threads about this.
I fixed it for you.
