FF.net down

This site has to be the most unreliable POS in the history of the web. It seems like it can't go even two months without going offline.

Is it down for you too? I literally JUST posted a chapter to my story, and now it won't load the site. At all. Thankfully, I already updated everything, but the fact that I can't even access my own profile to make sure it worked is frustrating!

Yeah, this is ridiculous. I just tried to proxy it and even that doesn't work.

I don't even get a down message, just a blank page. It sounds stupid but I'm a little worried that one day soon the site is going to be gone for good :(

Two months? Try two weeks.

I don't think it's a stupid concern. I believe it's pretty legit at this point.

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Not stupid at all. I just recently started going through all the complete fics in my favorites and started archiving them. There are a lot of good ones, and with the way ff.net is going I wouldn't be surprised if most of them went poof.

I don't even want to think about the site being gone. I just wish they'd fix it; it's annoying as hell. This is the second time for me, and I've been on the site for two years, so I guess I got off lucky. But still, this is ridiculous!

same for me i just get a blank page.

Orange = ff.net (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkG3_FNZcwc)

And I thought that was just me. Urgh, I was just opening a page when it goes down.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE THIS TIME?!
Is it going to be like this every few weeks?
Ugh.

The blank page is what I get.

I just got a long anticpated docx delivery from my beta and the site goes down. I often wonder if the site administrators have any clue what they are doing.

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Same. >_> Ah, hell.

Well, I won't blame them, seriously people, think about it, they receive countless of thousands of updates EACH DAY, 24/7, from all over the world, it's a wonder the site is not down more often. I for one am amazed they are able to keep their servers going for a week even with the humongous amount of information they have to manage daily. Besides, they provide a FREE SERVICE! you can't really be complaining now since you don't have to pay for the site, they manage with just the money they get from advertising(Trust me, it's not much, it never is) Stop complaining people, the site is not taxing you for the service, they do what they can to keep up for weeks a site that by all means of logic should be down every two days, and don't worry about the site dissapearing, I don't see that happening soon, given how dedicated the staff is(look, the site is back up just as I'm finishing this message if that's not dedication then I don't know what is)

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
For how long do you think the site will be down?...

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
What are you on? The site's still down.

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Why don't you try running a fan fiction site and see if it is as easy as you seem to think it is!

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, the oldest strawman in the book.

[identity profile] damnedangelcry.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Still down. Down down down.
I am disappoint.

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I still get a blank page

[identity profile] redswordheart.livejournal.com 2010-12-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
So free automatically = crappy and unreliable?

I think if they can't maintain the site, they should just do away with it.

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
It was up as I finished the message, it's down again, though I'm not surprised usually problems are not fixed that easily, if you have tried running a site, of any size, and have had the same problems at some point you should know, now try with a site as big as FF.n and the problem should be harder to solve

I posted a new story a few hours ago. FF.net removed all my scene breaks, two words,a comma and an exclamation point.(Why, I don't know.)Now the site is down,again. Just another day at FF.net. ):

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still getting a blank screen.

(Anonymous) 2010-12-01 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
