Title: blonde was down.....Apologies
Post by: TightEnd on April 15, 2008, 01:18:19 PM
As we know blonde was down all morning. This was due to problems at our server host with all their dedicated servers, not just blonde Poker, and were unavoidable from our end.

We're currently in the process (seperately) of investigating alternative host options that might do a better job for us given our increased traffic. This will accelerate that process.

In the meantime, sorry for the interruption to the site and thank you for your patience

apology not good enough. how are you going to compensate Boldie who probably had to do some work this morning instead?

No need to apologise for a Blonde going down imo

I offered to pay his monthly broadband fee but he refused, asking for entry into the WSOP Main Event instead.

I escalated this to Harrah's who are currently trying to infect his PC with a "3 flops per hand" virus.

Will let you know the outcome.

Server Host failed? I think not.

Thinking outside the box here.

lol...no kidding I emailed the Mrs this morning as I couldn't get onto Blonde asking her if the forum was down for her as well...The reply was "Have been too busy so not checked...really stressed out here"...What about me?...I had cold sweats and everything...This is just not right...don't do it again!

Oh and now my boss has seen me to a huge (for me) amount of work so thinks I can handle more!.....I need to leave the company now!

The problem was with a core network switch, which afaik still hasn't been fixed so we could have intermittent down time for the next couple of hours.

Yes, it's consistently intermittently up and down, sometimes.
