Pownce: Friends gone?

When I first joined Pownce, it was quite unstable. For example I got my invite but couldn't join for a couple of hours since the server was down or at least slow enough to trigger my personal timeout (which is with 5 minutes per page load when I'm curious probably way above average ). Then the whole story started with emails not getting sent or the other day getting sent twice. This all seems to finally be fixed, but now there is another problem: Suddenly the listing of my friends seem to have disappeared without any notice. So I guess this is just a bug, but it would be nice if there was some kind of account people could friend and get updates on things like that.

In another sense this might be a good sign: There's obviously quite some work going on in the background
