R. Rich Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Can't get to the site - get a message saying all servers are busy - WTF? 754554[/snapback] I don't know what happened, but we're all getting that message, Anthony. I was on a couple of times earlier to re-set the draft order and to set the time limit, but now I can't even access the site. Damn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't believe that I was able to access this site numerous times today, even from WORK, and now when it's time to draft, nothing. This sucks.

I set up the draft room, but you don't set a time to begin. You just hit a "start draft" option when you're all ready to go. Don't worry.

This sucks. 754574[/snapback] It was working around 7 when I logged in. Then I went to get in the chat room around 715 and couldn't go. Hopefully it clears up in a few minutes.

This sucks. 754574[/snapback] I was in about 40 minutes ago, then came back and things were hung up so I left thinking I'd come right back - now I'm locked out. Problem is that their servers can't handle the load of drafts running right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBills#1 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I've been trying for 30 minutes trying to get on. Are we still going to have the draft tonight or are we going to do it another night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valle7878 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 rich, I hope that this site works because i'm going to New York for the next 3 days. Then working the rest of the weekend. thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I propose that we hang out here for a while in order to be available in case Fanball decides to stop f'ing with us. Sound off... One... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One... 754594[/snapback] I'm OK for quite some time - nowhere I have to be tonight. I'm also OK for the rest of the week after about 7, but it looks like others may have conflicts. F'in Fanball.

BuffBills#1 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Everyone should hand around for the next half hour and just keep trying to get on fanball.com and come to this forum to see what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Everyone, This sucks, and I really wish we were 15 minutes into our draft, but there's nothing I can do about it right now. I'm prepared to stay online for a while, to see if we can draft tonight. If the site comes back up, I'm prepared to get this done. The draft should take not much longer than an hour, I'd say. So, if we can get into Fanball soon, I'll be ready to go. Also, there's been some concerns over whether the draft will "begin w/out us", leaving us all w/ players we don't want. It will NOT! The draft has to be activated by yours truly, so although the room is set up, nothing will happen until I start it. Absolut Power corrupts, absolutely. I see there's a few of us here tonight, so I can only hope you'll all brave it out w/ me in the hopes that we can draft tonight. Paul, I saw that you're going to be out of town after tonight, so I really hope we can get this done before you leave. If not, is there any time between now and the beginning of the regular season that will work for you? I'm flexible in terms of scheduling the draft, so I'll bow to the will of the league, so to speak. Anyway, whoever from our league is here and ready to draft, please post here and let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valle7878 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 can we dothe draft from this forum and then have Rich edit it once it comes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I've been in the site...still am...just can't get the draft room to work. The draft room was working up until at least an hour ago. I tried to get back in about 7:10 and it was down. Just tried again...nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 can we dothe draft from this forum and then have Rich edit it once it comes on. 754607[/snapback] It would be tough w/out the lists, but doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Avenger Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It would be tough w/out the lists, but doable. 754609[/snapback] It would also take FOREVER. Can we hijack the TBD chat room? Anyone want to go there now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Anyway, whoever from our league is here and ready to draft, please post here and let me know. Thanks. 754604[/snapback] I'm around. I'll be here for a while, but it's a lot later here than there, so probably not hours or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Well, I'm kinda on the site. I have the Fanball page up, but I still cannot access anything: SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Due to regular maintenance, the system is currently unavailable for use. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please check back in a few minutes. Maybe it's on the way back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
