Just a headsup, both BTCguild and Eligius have dropped about 4PH in the last few hours, and "other" in blockchain.info has increased about 5%, my guess is KNC has finally got their internal pool and network up and running and is now just solo mining. The final dagger in all of our backs.
Huge difficulty increase brought on by them mining over the last two months, and now it sticks with our pools having not nearly enough hash to keep up.. This should be fun for KNC and Ceo.ix.

(and yes difficulty will increase or stay the same for at least 2016 blocks) Hopefully they start offering us pity cloud shares soon.. so lame.
