And the request was canceled within 2 hours,
when they had summed up information about the TheDAO bug,
that no solution is needed until in 27 days,
that it was no Ethereum bug,
and that there are different possible solutions (including a fork) but no funds needed to be lost.
Poloniex was very slow/hardly usable most of Friday
but at one moment at almost 11 am UTC i saw ETH & DAO markets listed in grey/closed, just to be displayed as opened again seconds later.
That makes sense since the request was already dated by then.
Each 5 minute candle shows a high volume
