I remember that day pretty well. I had just got home from work, fired up Full Tilt, but did hear about the DOJ takedown, so I went to the fulltiltpoker.com website and saw the logo, and the same applied to Stars and UB. I am in Canada so I was not affected, but the US players that were still on there obviously did not have their software client updated, so they stayed as long as they could before they too were no longer able to login.
 
I think it was probably a day or two later when I saw no more US players playing. Things really dried up and then FTP went down so it was just Stars for me.
 
Definitely not a great day for online poker as a whole but there were people making their voices heard (QuadJacks did a marathon broadcast), other poker podcasts had their own specials as well. There were a lot of angry people who felt like the government had gone too far. I still feel like they have but in hindsight, I think that it was necessary and maybe in the long run, this will be for the best.
 
Time will tell of course, but I still think that the US government is stupid anyway, not just on this issue, but others as well.
