First Friday 2018

I have defended them until the cows come home, but this really pisses me off. To set aside an evening for this BS is not even funny!

Steve- this stuff has been going on for years- including when the site moved.
That's why the avid core game players got pissed off- all that happened were half hearted apologies.
Back in the day Bernie would at the very least throw a couple credits our way.

9 o'clock passed and not even hal is able to pick.

Another Glitch, perfect start to the New Year!

silly ness everywhere

I emailed SOM as well, thinking MAYBE with all the issues this week............someone might actually monitor tonight even if remotely.

Funny how the glitches started right after the credit sale ended.

its more likely continued negligence than conspiratorial.

Maybe they think its daylight savings time and the link will appear at 9:30?

So the league message says they've reset the start time, and magically everyone's team has been drafted-- and of course a bunch of guys have already scoured waivers (which I'm about to do I guess)--
A free draft time and a do over credit isn't terrible BUT
that free credit for me to play a pre drafted team with isn't really what Id call fair, but hey what do I know?

I did not enter last night's draft, for the first time in a while. I figured the odds that it would run properly were at least 10-1 against. Haven't been able to follow the Barnstormers results for almost a week, just not accessible. The games had been running great for several years now, usually done by 11:45 p.m. Last night I went to bed at 12:45 a.m. and less than half of my teams had run. The new card additions are long overdue and blog-boy has been silent since well before Thanksgiving. Been running about 25 teams at a time lately. Ten years ago, 50 at a time was not uncommon for me. No more. I like the game and many of the people here so I will continue to play but no more than 10 teams at a time going forward. Just sick and tired of how the company treats it's customers.

I do wonder if the denial of service attacks or whatever they are called, originate from a disgruntled former customer or even employee, with some hacker expertise. I guess that would rule out Garcia though.

This is what happens when trying to access any info re the Barnstormers:

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site."

We can’t connect to the server at onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com.
If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

Try again later.
Check your network connection.
If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

This is the crux of the matter;
I know for me, when stuff goes wrong Id handle it a LOT better if the rest of the time it wasn't about ignoring us.
