As most of you probably know by now, Steam Friends is fail. Steam has somehow managed to wipe 99% (or seemingly so) of Steam users' Friends Lists- only a rare handful (most of whom were offline during the update, but some were online) managed to escape unscathed.

What you can do in the meantime:

* Your groups should be untouched. If you are part of any groups, you can re-add your friends through there. Both Deserted Haven's and N/U's groups were unaffected, so if your friends joined us, you can re-add them there.
* Some people, such as myself, have re-added friends manually. Look at a friend's page, and see what friends they have (if any), and add through there. Hopefully you may find a friend or two who haven't been affected.
* Reconnect through forums, (be it community forums (such as this one), via Steampowered's forums), or in-game.
* Be patient. Steam said that "they're working on it"... Hopefully that means "some time soon".
