be nice if big vern could drop by and give some idea of problem and reassure peoples concerns, as he must know this is where everyone will be discussing online
I agree. Big Vern does a good job with Cryptsy. But anytime a site like this goes down (not just talking about crypsty, but any site with a large user base and other people's funds behind it), the first thing the administrator should do is to "calm the masses". He may not know what the problem is, and may be waiting until he does to tell us. But I've always thought a simple "We know there's a problem. We're working on it. As soon as we get more information we'll let you know." goes a long way to help.
absolutely
