So far I've heard very little from the RS Staff.
I would be amazed if any of the forum members hear anything, since none of them are advertisers on the site.

When the forum goes down, I would assume everyone works like the Dickens to get things back up an running.
Well, as Lord Wise has said about the TFN forums, he could shut them all down in a moment's notice if he wanted, so I would assume he's not all that concerned about the RS forums either.
How long should it take to figure out what happened to our files?
Well, since RS is basically Hasbro's surrogate shill these days (when they're not shilling for their advertisers or Wise's autograph "business") this probably applies.
"We are aware that there is a great demand for the forums to return and files to be restored and we are actively seeking ways to bring the forum back to the site."
OR
"We can't discuss that right now. But keep your eyes on rebelshill.com for the latest updates!"
