Ben, you were told on April 17 (1 week before you created this bug) by Jono that after the new community site was done, the link at the top of the page would be back. You were also told by Inayaili on the 17th that there were more improvements coming to the navigation, to include community. Two times by two separate people you were told that the link would be put back before you filed this bug. To now state "all of a sudden today there is talk about a 'black bar' as if we had been told this all along" and "Seems like backpedaling a bit" is absolutely wrong. The only thing different is that now what they told you on the 17th has a name.

Adam, no one has told you to "argue" your position. As I have stated above as have multiple others. There will be a link again, but it will take a little bit of time. Not everything happens over night. It sounds to me today, just as it has all along, that Canonical plans on having a link to the community site in a predominate place. Because people from Canonical have stated that, you have no point to argue. They agree with you. What are you going to convince anyone of by arguing? You may disagree with the fact that the link was removed before the new one was added. Unfortunately it wasn't. But from day 1, it has been stated that links will be put back, just give it some time. Maybe if less time was focused on this bug, social media, blog posts, etc, more work could be done to prepare the new "black bar."
