You are right that it was not 2 months, but it is true that Ukyo still allowed deposits when he new that withdrawal was practically impossible. At that point he might not have known that funds would get stuck for such a long time but at least he should have warned people that withdrawal was impossible for some time. For some time he failed to do this, in spite of several people asking for this explicitly.
I agree that a warning should have been on the site earlier but unfortunately communication between exchanges and customers doesn't seem to be the norm in bitcoin land :-(
pascal257, are you so naive to neglect that bitcoind actually also struggles on the claim site? (but this time it automatically restarts)
