    I just logged in, all my friends are still there, but from the outrage on the Steam forums, apparently lots of people have had their lists deleted. Hmm, wonder why I dodged this proverbial bullet?

    Because of the magic of 'Breadcrab'.

    U lucky "insert insult here"

    U reckon they'll fix it? Took me a damn while to build up the half decent friendslist I have (had, if that now applies)

    I quote a Mr BurtonJ of Valve
    "It is a temporary hiccup that we will have fixed shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate everyone's patience.

    We are focusing on fixing the issue, not making overly lengthy, political posts on the forums. The main reason for posting in this thread is to inform you all that we are in the process of fixing the issue which is ultimately the most important thing."

    lets hope
