My account is supposed to be "grandfathered" according to the blog post. The post does not go into detail about the limitations of this. Is this account wide? Can i create and modify droplets and still receive free bandwidth? How can i verify i am actually grandfathered in properly?

It is account wide so all of your current and future droplets will not be charged for bandwidth. =]

Also, is there any chance for a suspended account (haven't gotted around to adding any funds yet :( ) to be grandfathered?

If you haven't received the Grandfathered email then your account was unfortunately not grandfathered but you can open up a support ticket and we'll review the account and see what we can do for you.

Thanks!

I dont get it. People expect to receive something other people got for pushing DO during beta phase. This is just hilarious.
