I had to create and NEW Ubuntu One account ... wasn't to happy about that but if it's for security issues - OK!
I'm not having my arms twisted to use the other services there. So why not.

I'm also not one of many that are getting strange coded names and being temporarily disconnected from their old accounts ... guess I did things right.

But I see Elfy, Coffeecat, cariboo907, to name a few from the bits and pieces I've read today, bending over backwards to help users get back ...

Moderators busy moving posts to the Resource Centre where those that can - are doing everything they can to get things running again.

Makes my "not permanently logged in" problem pale by comparison.

Kinda like a natural disaster - the damage is done, emergency repair work recognized, organized and acted upon. Now it's cleanup time!

For me, this is a must read: Security breach on the Ubuntu Forums.

To "all" who are helping clean up the mess!
