The End

If you visited pokerstars.comfulltiltpoker.com or ub.com yesterday or early this morning this was all there was to see:
PokerStars and Full Tilt (and UB, bet let's ignore that cheating site from here on) can no longer accept American players in real-money games. Outside the US these sites are still available (for now) but the action is slow (I'm currently staring at the 200NL Full Ring Rush lobby, only 30 players are seated) There are strong rumors that Full Tilt and PokerStars will shut down globally somewhere in the next 30 hours. In short, the future is highly insecure. There's only one piece of sound, reliable advice bouncing around Twitter and the forms at the moment:

If you have a significant amount of money on any online poker site it's probably best to try to cash out right now (if you still can, that is)...
Good luck!
