    Hey peeps. See it is still the same as last night. :rolleyes:

    Oh well, can catch up on comps, keep an eye on Snap and watch the footie today. If Utd draw or lose, it won't be a wasted day. :D

    Polo and Ella - how are your heads this morning, laydeez? ;)

    I firmly believe 82 did not go, someone ere would have won something, i believe they will go when it is back up, maybe around 7ish wed morning (82 hrs after it went) xxxxxx

    Our Granddaughter, Caitlin Freya is now 7 years old :), growing up to be a lovely young lady and our Grandson, Findlay Ewan is 3 years old and still a lovable bundle of mischief :) one of each, how perfect

    eeek Sundays are so boring.
    Think maybe some idiot hacked into snap and took 82 claim codes, either that or it just went bananas.

    To my mind problems at Microsoft could be caused by one of the following


    1) Somehow 82 wins were paid out erroneously.

    If this was the case then surely an MSEr would have won one ? Also
    wouldn't we have seen the count go up before it went offline ? Until
    9.13pm it showed 1140 won at 4.02pm !

    2) Someone hacked in and 'took' 82 wins.

    What would be the point of this as surely Virgin would not honour any
    claim ? Therefore if this happened it must have been for sheer malicy
    rather than gain. Also if this were so surely they would have made some
    correction by now.

    3) 82 wins were not paid out and it is a program/testing error.

    While offline Microsoft were testing and left program in an incorrect state
    with win count up 82. I find this very plausible but if this were the case
    why have they not corrected it back to a reasonable count ? This would
    not be a difficult programming job.

    As it looks like this problem is NOT being corrected and that we are having to wait until 82 hours/wins have passed (like 14hrs/wins the other night) I think we can only assume that the 82 wins have gone never to be seen again!

    I am trying to rationalise this event but actually I don't understand it at all and the only outcome of it is a PR effect of absolute pants!! :mad:

    However when the 82 hours are nearly up I will be clicking like crazy just in case 82 wins go en masse at that point. :D
