Surely if you mined on a small PPLNS pool then you would care if a block was missed due to it having a massive impact on your earnings along with everyone else on the pool.
That makes sense, this also answers a part of the question by the way, thanks for pointing that out.

The history is there to see.
I am aware of this, I am also aware of that fact that things now are different, hence the reason why I said

highly unlikely that nowadays pps pools lose a block for any reason but "bad luck"

although I would question why anyone would continue to mine on a solo pool that has demonstrably lost blocks on more than one occassion.
Everyone has a different point of view, I can't speak for those who still mine on Cksolo and even went to as far as paying for the server, to me personally I have good memories with the pool, and I trust CK, he explained exactly what went wrong and he made sure he corrected it, and what's more important than this are MANNERS, something some people lack, CK has been respectful and nice to most of us, I would go to the extent of paying solely for the server and point a good portion of my hash rate to Cksolo, this is more of a culture thing I suppose, I am sure many people don't mind dealing with people who show no manners, and all that matters to them is the business itself, to me, respect and attitude matter, will I lose a block on Cksolo pool? no problem, I still wouldn't mine to a pool whose owner calls someone who is probably at the age of their father "stupid".
happy mining!
You too.
