It won't have escaped your attenion how pissed of your customers are right now. All you have to do is explain the current situation and people will be cool with that. People won't stop asking you know. This won't just go away. As I understand, xham is not the site in the spotlight right now, so what have you to worry about?!? Stop fooling around and simply explain yourselves. You'd be surprised what loyalty will come from a few choice words to your users.
