The scariest part is not knowing what is happening while everything is down. Maybe I am in the minority, but I am not well connected with many of the higher ups in the know. So I have to assume the worst and cross my fingers that everybody's accounts are safe.
I am glad it is back, and the glitches are being ironed out.
Hopefully fixing the fork database will prevent this kind of downage again. It is concerning that witnesses testing the new fork can cause the main blockchain to hit a stop error.
Having some communication representatives available from official sources would also be appreciated in the future. Rumors start flaring up like wildfire because most of us have no direct communication lines, and that is bad for value of Steem on the exchanges. I heard there was a twitter post, and that was it. Maybe this can be improved too. I'm sure some of the witnesses would be happy to be trusted with spreading official news through popular discord channels, and on their app sites.
