Raspbernie Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Last night a server issue affecting all websites with EC.com's hosting company came up. It took them all night (and into the morning) to work things out. Everything seems to be back online now. Sorry for the interruption. Sort of makes you see what life would be like without EC.com! I'm guessing an awful lot of you are so addicted that this morning was pretty brutal. Again my apologies. Your internet version of Red Bull is back, so take a deep breath—that's right—everything's gonna be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelina Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 My name is John........"Hi John"......and I am an EC.com addict. Great to see it back. I thought the squirrel on the treadmill powering things down here had taken a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna R Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sorry- a double post there. See, this is what happens when I don't get my "EC.com morning fill" not good..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I thought it was personal, sniff, sniff.... Okay, I know the highlight of my day is folding laundry, EC.com keeps me sane between loads. It was like going cold turkey, I have no idea how much I spent on Nordstroms.com, Amazon, and eBay trying to comfort my withdrawals ! Darn that online banking, I can't even hide my purchases anymore. It took all the fun out of shopping . I am so glad you are all back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianchick Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Kay, I never thought I was an addict but being unable to log on to EC.com just proves, I need help people....but then I guess we all do...welcome back family.... and Bernie thanks for working so hard to get things up and running....whew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy-Ann Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 You should have seen me last night when I swore it was my computer that had blocked me from the site. I now have a degree as a computer tech! I did everything to see what was wrong. Then I realized, it was most likely not my server. Yeah, it wasn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopell Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yeah, it was pretty bad! I checked every few minutes talking to the computer with my fingers crossed! In between checks I played solitaire and freecell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Since I work with servers that host a bunch of websites, I figured there was some problem that wasn't an easy fix, or there was a major spam attack on the servers. However, I'm addicted to EC.com, too, and was trying really hard to send good vibes to those working on the issues. Glad to have everything back to normal. Now I can stop looking for that support group site that John found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ira Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 It was AWFUL! I found myself watching "The CBS Evening News With Katie Couric" and singing Dusty Springfield's..."I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"! -Ira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Bernie, you should compile the emails you received and post them here. Should be good for a chuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Bernie, it's TOUGH to start a day without A) coffee and a quick browse of EC.com. Whew! Then there's the EC.com fantasy baseball league site.... PS: Speaking of coffee and EC.com, maybe we need EC.com coffee mugs? I bet if we had a supplier create one with, say, the cover of Fresh or Boats Against the Current along with your logo, a bunch of us would buy one or more.

Raspbernie Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Oops. I spoke too soon as the website was once again down for a few hours this morning. I can't wait until everything settles down once and for all and all of the problems have been solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
