It is. I'm glad it's back up-and-running.

Ugh how dare you have technical problems

Glad everything is back to normal

I was only just able to get back on the site just a minute ago. It was down for me since around 7PM last night (and was really slow for a bit before that).

iceman · 12-01-2014, 03:55 PM

As Blu Titan said a rare issue with the network occurred and since it was the network we couldn't solve it remotely

This is actually not solved permanently as we need to upgrade the firmware which we plan on doing tomorrow, but the risk of it happening again before that is <0.05%.

And you don't have to worry about data loss, after the 2012 fiasco we have several complete backups in several locations

Blu Jedi Master · 12-01-2014, 03:58 PM

Yes data loss would be just horrifying.

BDavis197 · 12-01-2014, 04:12 PM

The site being down made me realise just how much I use it! Glad to have it back and also glad that the risk of data loss has been eliminated.

It certainly was.

Glad to see it wasn't just me. For a minute I thought I had been banned.

Yes I was banned without warning for posting twice in the UV buying thread, it was not fun.

Michael24 · 12-01-2014, 06:20 PM

I didn't quite realize just how much I like coming here, or how often, until it was down yesterday. I felt lost. Haha! Glad it's back up.

RBBrittain · 12-01-2014, 07:01 PM

Threw me off last night when I couldn't get to price history from B&N while deciding which title to buy with the 30%-off BF coupon; first though it was wonky Wi-Fi, but cellular wouldn't work either. Oh well, you may have also your kick--uh, referral fee on my Amazon GotG 3D order.

Cat III · 12-01-2014, 10:06 PM

Yeah, I'm glad everything's back online. At first I thought my internet was screwed up.

Canada · 12-01-2014, 10:10 PM

I wasn't able to get on last night, no biggie.

Ultimately it's not the worst thing in the world, but it kinda sucks when it happens while you're in the middle of something.

AmishParadise · 12-01-2014, 11:32 PM

My Blu-ray spending slowed down during the same time period the site was down. Very interesting. Maybe the website should go down more often. :-P Then again, maybe not. What fun would that be? :-)

When in doubt use that link.I use it whenever I have an issue and wonder if it's me or the site.Been using it for a long time.I keep it loaded in my tabs in my Pale Moon browser.

I used that site as well to verify it was the site that was down. I had also tried different browsers just in case.

iceman · 12-02-2014, 01:13 PM

Firmware upgraded today and we're back online

Jett Rink · 12-02-2014, 01:16 PM

I don't know why everyone is complaining here and on FB. Maybe in the downtime people should do something productive, like clean something or read a book. That is what I did.

That's good news, there was no response 5 minutes ago!

Thank you and the team for all the hard work!
