[Edit] Thanks to Gilgamesh with his post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34016.msg425326#msg425326 I've added another option to the poll. Can you guess which option I added? I'm sorry for creating a somewhat bias poll, but please vote on how you truly feel about UABB. First off, I want to state that I like this guy--Matthew N. Wright. I also believe that UABB is an excellent service for the Bitcoin community. But what I'm mostly reading are posts kicking the service to the curb, or from the curb to the street into a line of incoming traffic, or whatever the best analogy should be (I'm so f**kin pissed, I can't articulate think straight). I opted to create this poll and tread because of this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33761.msg424233#msg424233It sadden me to read it. So please chime in. I promise not to attack any comments (I never had in the past, though some may have felt attacked because of my warp sense of humor--sorry 'bout that folks). I welcome all professionally phrased hard questions toward UABB, and I'm sure Matthew will address each and every one of them as he has so graciously done so in the past. Bitcoin is a wonderful invention/innovation and I believe that this start-up can really make an impact. Or maybe you would like Matthew to direct his energies elsewhere, like creating another Bitcoin eBay-type site to compete with the other two (or is there more) that are currently up and running.

I'll give him some props when he actually does something. Until then, I just consider him another person itching for their 10 minutes of fame. I think personally I shall wait. I shall wait for an exclusive billionaire that has an extensive background in martial arts to pick up his battleaxe/katana/perhaps a warhammer, don his suit, and take care of all those Bitcoin baddies. His name? BitcoinMan! Na, na, na, na, na, na, na , na,, na, na, na, na, BitcoinMan!

I can only hope for the benefit of the masses his/their intentions are good. Can't support words on a forum, would love to see them take some action instead of just talking up the service. Also, I still believe this should be made more public rather than one person hold information regarding something as big as MyBitcoin's situation.

I would find it deeply and darkly amusing if the UABB guy and the MyBitCoin guy were one in the same.
Surely Mr. MBC would be keeping a low profile, but if he really had balls of steel, 'spearheading an investigation' into the crime and collecting all of the available data about it could be all kinds of useful.

sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

Simply by Matthew commenting a lot, another link to UABB is created. I have read a couple posts where one could easily construe them as direct insults. Overall, I think he handles himself quiet well. Thank you for your valuable input and hope you voted.

Doesn't scam involve stealing money from someone? Did they ever ask for any money? I don't get it. They never did anything.. How can you classify them as fraud, scam, heroes, whatever?

Let me start this post by saying I am by no means passing judgement on him or his intent... I would find it deeply and darkly amusing if the UABB guy and the MyBitCoin guy were one in the same.
Surely Mr. MBC would be keeping a low profile, but if he really had balls of steel, 'spearheading an investigation' into the crime and collecting all of the available data about it could be all kinds of useful.
I had this same thought when I saw the 20 or so posts to every mybitcoin thread on the forum... Keep your friends close and your enemies closer right? As the person responsible, obtaining as much information about what happened as possible would be a great risk mitigation strategy... Sort of like playing a game of poker where everyone else's cards are printed on both sides and yours are not. Again, not passing judgement, just making a statement in regards to the quote above...

That's thinkin' outside the Bitcoin mining rig. That could easily be a justifiable concern. Therefore, due diligence is also warranted when it comes to a new start-up, especially when Bitcoin is concerned. Please offer any proof found to this community and, I for one, will jump on your bandwagon to help expose the fraud. Thank you kindly for taking the time to comment and hope you voted.
