their chat room drives me up the wall... well a few there do.. whish some would leave mod jobs to the mods.

telling someone off in chat, after a mod has done so , would be a temp chat ban on my old site (non gpt).

sorry it's got to me tonight.

The site seems to be down at the moment, anyone know what's going on? I was saving for a £50 AGC and I'm nearly there so will be gutted if the site has disappeared! :mad:

it will be back i am sure just database server problems... looks like a hardware fail as their last update on facebook an hour ago said a couple more hours to fix... could depend how far they live from the server farm if they are using their own servers in the server farm, but thats just my best guess from past experiance of running my own server.

there was a code WhoDanDaMan6000 for 6 points that may still be available when it comes back up.

It'll be back I'm sure:

Our data servers have experienced some issues but we have the best technicians in the industry working to get them back online as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.

thats because the site is not down, it is responding (hence the message you see on their site)... it's the database server thats causing the problems.

From what i can tell (times on twitter post) it went down middle of the night their time (probably when tech asleep).

Must admit tho that they could be a bit more forthcoming in their updates, but then it's probably one of those faults that they will only know how long it will take once they manage to fix it.... like many computer problems are.
