Hey everyone,

So I spent a lovely morning wrestling with my local Registry of Motor Vehicles only to find our site going kablooey! When it rains it pours, I guess! We know what happened, fortunately, and are working to prevent that sort of thing from repeating itself. In the meantime I thank you all for your patience and your understanding as we try our best to address the issue and to fix it as quickly and as permanently as possible.

Thanks!

EDIT: Okay, we’re going to try and reboot some of our servers. According to our engineers, you may experience a hiccup but nothing major. But please, if you get booted or something happens, clear your cache and reload the site. And let me know if you experience any additional issues here. THANKS!!

But we’re working on it right now to fix it. Sorry everyone – looks like the holidays just are magnets for trouble. I’ll update as soon as I get more info!

EDIT: Just got word that things should be back up-and-running! Record timing! If you’re having problems, be sure to clear your cache first

Hey everyone,

It seems that something or someone is hammering the site causing our servers to come under heavy load, slowing everything down. This totally stinks but we’re trying to get to the bottom of it and we truly appreciate your patience! I am hoping it is a mere coincidence that this is happening as we’re trying to launch Countdown to Cash as I really can’t imagine anyone being malicious enough to all the awesome members here…

We are aware of the site issue and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience and for being the best members on the internet! And yes, your GVs should return to normal once we’re back up.

Thanks!

EDIT: Please be aware that any GVs earned while the site is behaving badly will PROBABLY be reset. Spread this word out as the database is not functioning properly.

When it rains, it pours, huh? Sorry for this, folks. We’re working our keister’s off trying to get everything back up-and-running smoothly. Whoever said that computers and technology were supposed to make our work-life easier needs to eat a little crow right now…

EDIT: Get ready for another hiccup as we attempt to fix what went wrong!
