0.5 - .9 BTC lost.
the annoying part is I had a mybitcoin address used for some referral links, so more could go to that address

youre not the only one, but I didn't loose anything. I had just transfered btc from there to mt gox when everything went down.
48 btc
i had around 4 BTC on mybitcoin.com
I just started few weeks back. I went to this site as it was recommended somewhere on the wiki or on the bitcoins for dummies forum. Good lesson.... And I am disappointed as I had the impression bitcoin is for a small group of people. I hoped it wont happen in a family...
Such in life. Bank takes everything...

I had at least 70 BTC there.
That's what I get for being lazy and not transferring the money out to a secured wallet.

I wish you'd mentioned something; I would have advised you not to use MyBitcoin.
I'm potentially out 259 BTC

Wait more time, maybe it's just a server fault. For me would be something like 55 BTC, the entire operational budged of my website.

I'm potentially out 29 BTC.
Bruce Wagner: ~25k ( http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=33020.msg416038#msg416038 )
OMFG! I'm going to light a bitcoin candle for that wallet! 
We lost about 40 coins, plus a little more for lost transactions due to it being down. Not Bruce Wagner numbers, but it represented the entire operating budget of SquareWear and MetaCo.in. My partners were actually advocating us getting out of the bitcoin business, but I convinced them that the writing was on the wall about mybitcoin.com and that it was really our fault.
Well considering the coverage mybitcoin received, for a newbie.. it seemed like it was paypal for bitcoin.
One has to admit, that it was fast and easy to send and receive payments via their web service.
Not to mention they did run it for a long time.
Oh well..

How the hell can you keep ~1/3 million USD on a website if there is a much more secure way by keeping it on your own PC(s)?! 
Anyone considered that this was likely a 1 man website and the owner could actually just have died?

Or worse, was targeted by criminals willing to do him harm in order to get a copy of the pool's private keys. This was always a dangerous idea.
