Here's a summary of all the rumors: [link]
To me, the January return date suggests that it was done to appease advertisers, who do most of their big buys leading up to Christmas.
Of course, the REAL reason is [link]

Related to your last link: [link] (ignore the part where she's having a conversation with a talking car [and dating its "Dad" is not dating a car -- it's a human, who is the "Dad" by virtue of building UltraCar]).

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Heh. After I posted there was a site that was claiming the episode was pulled because Dan Didio hates Stephanie Brown.
Brandon V. responded on twitter to a question about whether the Milestone characters need to be written out that they finished writing Season 2 awhile back. He also claims he hasn't heard any reason for the hiatus.
The really weird thing, if the rumor it's true, is Static hasn't even been identified as such. He's just a dreadlocked kid with no lines and no name so far.

Okay. Having read the collected rumors in the first link: wow. All that put together does not spell good things for the future of the show. Hopefully things are a bit better than that.

I broke out the DVDs and re-watched the first 8 YJ episodes this weekend. I forgot how much fun the early episodes are.
Also, lots of little things that stand out now.
Roy, on about to enter the Hall of Justice for the first time: "I was born for this."
Several partial references to the show "Hello, Megan"
A cameo of Lagoon Boy in Atlantis.
Guardian having the same voice as Roy.
Cadmus deciding to replace the captured sidekicks with clones.
Black Manta scolding Aqualad on his choices.
Knowing who the Light are now, I can identify some of them when they're speaking or their outline is on-screen.
I also forgot that Miss M couldn't density shift in the beginning. (Also Wally's mad scrabble for a handhold after running halfway up the outside wall of Cadmus.)

Real Roy, or clone Roy?

Clone Roy.
I'm trying to remember, but I don't know if we see real Roy at all in season 1.

Nope, it's all clone!Roy in Season 1, except for a glimpse of icicle!Roy in the last episode. Remember that Wally said that he never knew the real Roy during Red Arrow's intervention.

Right. I knew Clone!Roy was the only one we saw in action. I just couldn't remember when we found out original!Roy was still on ice.

Okay, I finally finished YJ today. So when I said this earlier:
The Scarab is not Kord tech, damn it. I mean, the pre-new 52 explanation (alien tech from an alien race that wanted to enslave the Earth [like you do]) doesn't lend itself to a team show, but -- damn it, it's alien tech!
I was hilariously wrong, huh?
The whole Scarab plot is more or less straight out of the pre-new 52 Blue Beetle book. I cannot render textually how happy I am. (Seriously, I was all, "They kind of look like the Reach. That's shitty to imply it and not do...it... HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP!!!") I think I scared the dog.
Fabulous. So, SO fabulous.
Megan has problems, yo. Are we supposed to assume that Aqualad is basically lobotomized now? That's pretty dark.
So, nothing more until January? If we're lucky? t edit (I mean, if we're lucky and the show doesn't get permanently pulled. Not "man, are we lucky we don't have to watch this again until January." That would be crazy.)
