I love the fact that you gave us a heads up this time Robbie.  Thank you.

Jack


Edit:  I guess it was a 60 second heads up.  Well, a heads up nonetheless.

Thanks for the heads-up, sir!
That's the 1st time the site's ever dissapeared in the middle of using it... just a little unnearving.
Horray for the forums!

God dammit! I was sooooo close to booting up my VM and getting the shipping addresses for my orders.

I was like 15 seconds off from pulling up the order tab.

May I recommend a top bar for notice and planning outages and giving a good few days notice. Today's sites do not really have outages  its all a bit 1990's. Just recommending I love the service that the site gives.

Giving people too much advanced notice also gives that same amount of notice to those who might want to harm SR, so announcing it days in advance would be a security risk.

Never posted in the last thread when it was down when the last changes were made but i have to say I'm loving this new currency calculator you've added! Really nice touch, saves me the hassle of getting my calculator out every 2 seconds haha and it's also nice when you have a bitcoin leftover from an order then the next day you refresh the page and it's magically jumped from £50 to £72 :D

Appreciate the hard work you've put into this site over the years DPR and I hope there's still many more to come :) dunno what I would do without this place!

good point but most sites can be dynamically updated, dual redundancy and a flick of a switch and new sessions are on the new site while the old sessions complete at least... I do not know the size and infrastructure and would not even hazard a guess but maybe something to consider?

Sorry do not mean to be come off like a moaning idiot just suggestions I really do like what the site does.


Cheers

Lol, I got up and got out all my shipping gear and smoked a spliff and  came back and everything is working like a Swiss whore. You rock dude.

I have to switch over machines to decrypt messages, so I was racing the clock and was like, "noooooooooooooo!"

Check the time you posted that McRad.

I just signed in, and saw the topic and sighed until I read the thread and realized it was all said and done in less than an hour!

I love this place :P
