Piru, I obviously missed these announcements due to the short time span over which the switch took place and because I've been way too busy lately to check out things daily. Do you have anything helpful/constructive to add?
Sure, here's some
more constructive stuff:
Never store anything critical (pictures, music, video, messages, any kind of text documents or mail, specifically anything you've created yourself and have no way of obtaining elsewhere) on a remote website or forum only. Always keep local backups, at least two physically separate locations (can be two different HDDs, but preferably should be on a separate physical location, too, in case of a fire, flood or other local catastrophe). You cannot trust some remote site to keep your data safe, as there is always a possibility of a catastrophic data loss due to HW failure, the site being pwned or some other unforseen reason (such as a company pulling the plug due to financial reasons).
Check the validity of your backups periodically, and make sure you can actually restore the data, too.
