#6 seems to be curiously missing a tickbox for your circumstances with respect to the service.

Two users of the same doom-laden service may be differentially screwed if to one it's their primary place of business and their only means of communication with half their customers, while to the other it's a bit of random fun that they can give up any time with only a faint wistfulness to mark its passing!

(4) is a surprise, I should google the term anyway, specifically I'm very softhearted about anything with a face.

I appreciated this bit from #6:

Hey NoScript peeps, (or other users without Javascript), I dig the way you roll. That's why this page is mostly static and doesn't generate the list dynamically. The only things you're missing are a progressive descent into darkness and a happy face who gets sicker and sicker as you go on. Oh, and there's a total at the bottom, but anyone who uses NoScript can surely count for themselves.

Rock on!

So refreshing!
