Anyone else having issues logging on?

Haven't been able to get on for over a week, no idea what's happening.

Thanks kangle, glad it's not just me.

The page is cached on Google from last week but the page is not found now.

Strange...

 

[kangle4]

I actually did get on quickly last weekend now that I think about it after not being able to for a bit. The matches were played but were than replayed on the Monday and I assume it was because some people weren't able to get on.

Checked the result on Monday but haven't been able to get on since.

Happens sometimes it will come back

 

[UAWM]

I cant get onto it? anyone else having this trouble or just me?

 

[flaps]

Yeah I've had problems all week too.

 

[YelloMit]

Same here. I think it's gone.

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Yep, have been having trouble all week as well. The main page just fails to load.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Don't think it's up any more

 

[flaps]

I wonder if it will come back. I was pretty keen on playing an AFL sim game but it really doesn't seem very well organised.

I dont think OTB has ever been down this long before? I only log in every now and then though, once a week and normally the forums are still up sometimes when the main site is down? But i can't even access them....

On The Ball
Update: A bit of miscommunication in the previous post. Our hosts have had moved (trucked) their systems from Texas, to Chicago & LA. Chicago has arrived but LA takes longer as you can appreciate. As it's clearer now it helps put the size of the job into perspective.

On The Ball
Update: Things are taking longer than expected, I don't expect OTB to be back by the weekend. Let's hope next week is a goer!

At least it will be back sometime, only just got into it.

 

[kangle4]

Sorry for the double post but it looks like it's back up.

If you 'like' otb on fb you get all the news, obviously they didnt plan the downtime , but the server went awol and they lost anything they back to july of this year.(I had to reregister, which didnt matter too much because I only signed up in the off season and nothing apart from a few strange youth pulls happened so far.

 

[Mr Gor]

i just wasted all that money on stadium upgrades!! ****ers!!

 

[morri]

You didnt really waste the money since you will have it again

 

[Mr Gor]

ahhhhhhh good point... well the site's not working again atm anyway.

 

[kangle4]

They had to go back to sometime in August regarding any updates, transfers etc. you had done.

I know it's not necessarily their fault but it has meant I've done a bit of work for nothing now and not sure if I'll be able to do it all the same again.

 

[flaps]

As much as I wanted to play an AFL simulator game (based on a website), this game just doesn't give me the addictiveness that others do. There's too much of a gap between the starters and the experienced for me to bother for a long term gain.

Can anyone prove me wrong or give me reasons why I should play (for the shot and long term)?

 

[morri]

Seeing I came in only in midseason I can't say anything about that yet, All i can say is that the general set up of the site and the interfaces are looking a bit disorganised to me. I find myself looking for specific tasks quite often. It took me a while in Blackoutrugby as well but at least they have a proper help/documentation section which helps you quite a lot, nothing I can say of the ontheball site.

 

[Donners]

It's back up, but apparently my side got deleted. Don't think I'll bother with another one.

 

[Williamc99]

My side got deleted as well. I'm not bothering with another one. Was an alright game but I've played a lot better.

 

[kangle4]

Losing my side has meant I've lost interest aswell.

 

[Mr Gor]

Losing my latest batch of youth players is enough to make me lose interest for this season at least
