For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. team felt (and I personally agree) that it is far more important to have support forums than the reviews.

We expected that. It will take a few days to restore this, and that’s considered acceptable losses, for now. We will be working to fix these issues over the next few days, and it will be corrected as we get to it. In other words, we are aware of the issues and working to fix them.
