Spewing stupid mis-information, especially when you know that you don't know... is not going to make you any friends!
People are restless, and while I can understand them we have so far had discussions on how to sort out the payouts during the outage, conspiracy theories and what-not. Personally, I just don't get why we can't accept that there was a major incident, with potentially major consequences, chill and wait for the man in charge to get things back on track. Currently it looks as if many of us are putting the cart before the horse... Give the man 24 hours and there will be no need to play Chinese whispers, making the thread longer and even harder to follow.
@Slush: Thanks for all the time and effort you put into hacking on/maintaining the pool and Bitcoin in general. My little mining operation has been running smoothly all through this mess thanks to you.
