Anyone received an answer from G? Or can anyone see some stats for today?
My thinking is they were stopped about at 0:00 GMT (UTC) or 16:00 PST.
Anyone has more accurate info?

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone...almost ruined my day actually!
But now I feel better, I'll be heading out to the beach for some beers! (I live in Thailand now, thanks partially to Google!)
First thing I did this morning after looking at Adsense (and checking for any Google e-mails) was head over here!
I would imagine this kind of problem could cost Google a lot of money, I'm sure Adwords brings in revenues of several million $$ every single day...
Anyway, Google needs to be more proactive about communicating to its customers when these types of things occur.
I have a feeling more snafus like this are going to be happening as Google gets more and more advertisers onto the system.
Perhaps Google should give us all one of those $50 credits?
Adsense and Adwords are both working - on the publishing/advertising sides.
The Reports Are Broken
Unknowns, if the transactions that are occuring will credit publishers or debit advertisers. Either way both will cause some to be annoyed.
My first action this AM was also to check here to see if anyone else was experiencing problems - looks like the whole reporting system is broken.
(possibly the adword stats machines have been drafted in to count votes in the UK - they're experts in detecting fraud afterall ;) - if stats come back tomorrow am it's definetly the case)
