It sucks what happened to you, but a bit of cynicism is good in this community. Far too many scammers and fraudsters trying to get their jollies.

can't argue with that, but most of the time the balance is pretty good!

Hi guys!

As many of you know I got royally fucked by a hacker last week.  May have ruined my wedding & honeymoon in 3 weeks and jeopardised TheBitcoinMuseum

Details here...
I've been hacked, and now I'm screwed (Can anyone help with a loan?)
Got hacked, need 14BTC, will offer TheBitcoinMuseum and contents as collateral.
and here...
[RARE ITEMS] I got hacked, I'm now forced to take offers on RARE Museum items

A lot of people here are talking about negativity and cynicism in these forums.  Some of them are correct.  The VAST MAJORITY of people here have been incredibly supportive.

Like a GIANT AMOUNT OF YOU! 

I have gotten some of the usual "should done this, hack was your fault etc" but that is to be expected in this community. With so many smart people here trying to get their message across sometimes people can feel overwhelmed by the information. It's rarely ever hostile.

MANY MANY more of you guys have PM'd me, e-mailed me, offered loans and offered so much support and messages of love.

So I just want to take this opportunity to thank you guys and to say
"WE AS A COMMUNITY...ARE JUST FUCKING AWESOME!"

Thanks guys Smiley
