So I assume that no real personal information should be associated it since the primary servers went down and just the basic essentials are running from the stub server now?

Yup.

I believe that if the old services are restored, the devices would still be connected to their accounts.  If that's the case though, Duane should still be able to dissociate your device from your account.  Whether he can do that now or not is a different question though that is best left for him to answer smile

Re: Chumby deactivate request

If/when the full service is restored, the devices will be registered to the accounts they were on February 20th.

In the old system you were required to contact the previous owner or me to deregister the devices - in the new system, I'll likely make it so that you could do it yourself.

The old system was put in place to allow Chumby to track stolen devices.

I like that, yet another little 'feature' engineered in.

Cleaning up any loose bits and bytes.
