 * This plugin caused a 508 Loop error when activated on a blog.
 * This caused severe server resource usage and caused the site to go down.
   This
   is NOT acceptable, and many web hosts are preparing to suspend sites for using
   this plugin. It needs to be removed due to this issue as well as shady coding.
   I run a web host, as well as work with a major web host, and we have decided 
   that any client using this plugin will be suspended, due to the looping issue
   causing severe resource usage. This is something that will be shared with other
   major web hosts.

 * Hello @scottjb9276
 * As mentioned in the forum, we apologize for all of this.
 * We’ve rolled out a new version (8.4.5), which solves this issue with the plugin
   overloading the server. Please update the plugin and feel free to contact us 
   should anything else occurs.
 * Regards,
   The ShareThis Technical Support team.
