First of all, the alert that popped up as I was trying to get my coins out of there before the fork:

" ALERT:

We encourage you to review our Terms and familiarize yourself with the changes that have been made.

So I clicked the link for the new terms, and while quickly scanning, came across this. Check out #13 of their new user agreement:

"13. COPYRIGHT OF FEEDBACK MATERIALS

... Aaaand, it's gone: instead of "Deposit" and "Withdraw" links, it shows "Temporarily Disabled". Oh well, got some out into a wallet for the split, hopefully Poloniex will do the right thing (ha!) and provide the BCC to its users.

Also note they're in Boston, at least, the arbitration clause is. I had thought they were in NY, based on their AML/KYC/KMA stuff.

Hi @libertyteeth I've written an article about you, check it out, if you can? thanks.

Nice, thanks @jzeek, upvoted your post 100%, followed and resteemed. I made a list -- and it's a positive one! :) (After my last flight I know I'm also on ... less positive ones.)

Thanks @gentlebot! Didn't know you existed. I've resteemed your introduction from last month! :)

That's not quite true. I guess one cannot resteem once the 7-day reward/curation window has closed? So, here's that intro post: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gentlebot/hello-steemit-i-m-the-gentlebot

poloniex give us a very poor service now and i tired from polo whats ur opinion is poloniex weill scam next day

Unclear at this point. Their lending platform seems to have merit. Then again, "Neither a borrower or lender be", so I'm not sure I want to be the lender... Probably won't stay with them, although I like that the bot is currently showing 224% annual compounded returns... The lending percentage has gone way up about a week ago (before the fork). Not sure if it'll stay up, or return back down. Seems profitable for now but of course, could also be manipulated and they might go the way of Mt Gox and BTC-e...

Thanks for sharing. I saw my account on Bittrex. it shows my btc = bcc (bt Cash) but not tradeable yet. It says wallet maintenance.

Yeah mine's still in the old wallet, hopefully I can figure out how to make this happen. Weird that it's not much of a priority for me. Concussions are like that, though; I lost like 70% a couple years ago because I wasn't paying enough attention.

Sorry to hear that @libertyteeth.

Chaos begins,

Heh, I would say, after dealing with their ticketing system, "continues". :)

Oh so everything you say about poloniex it will belong to them...

Yeah, that's what they seem to be saying. My title is based on the "All your base are belong to us" meme that Slashdot had years back; there was even a song written about it. The images are hilarious as well:

Charming...

Lol this is funny as fuck :D

@libertyteeth! I would recommend people to move to Bittrex or Bitfinex! Polo seems unreliable for now!

Yes, get out -- at the slow rate they allow you to...

The first time I see that is the last time I even consider posting.

I have heard a lot of anger directed at Poloniex of late. If this is their attitude, that anger was clearly justified.

Thanks!
