Ops should reimburse users, but only partially - if someone is too stupid to leave 0.5+ BTC on pool ran by two (doesn´t matter how honest) guys, where no one can expect robust security platform, deserves nothing more than loose it. During 6 months of mining I lost coins in various scams (Unocs, Orbit Coin, PhenixEx..) and I learned one thing - You are on enemy territory and if You loose, it was by your mistake so blame no one but You.
aTriz and nearmiss did great job here, so stop complain and try to be supportive.
The only person stupid here is you... Be supportive for a bunch of f... amateurs. I WANT MY FUCKING MONEY BACK
Glad you are being so mature about all this, we can tell who are the adults in the room!
In other news, we continue to have login's/payouts DISABLED, we will update here and in IRC within a few hours after me and nearmiss have a sit down and discuss things.

P.S. Merry Christmas everyone, sorry to start it off with this bad day!
Hope it all works out for you. It all looked very promising.
Alas, I moved to middlecoin a few days ago, seemed more stable for my kind of limited mining.
Given the crap thats just happened, I hope you can salvage some of your Christmas!
