Thread Title: "Short ISP Power Outage today."
AA-bob Our ISP encountered a short power outage today. Lasted less than an hour. We were/are experiencing a few server "hangover" issues as a result but seem to be back up and running.

Well, like they say "The sun shines on every dogs *** once in a while". LOL!!

While I might get some personal and corporate satisfaction from a competitor's problems, in the larger scope of things I wish we all could compete on service alone.

Outages by any competitor or simply on the internet itself (which could have been the issue in this case?)leaves a bad taste in the first time customer's mouth for internet firearms transactions in general as well as for a specific site.

Unfortunately, this is a brush that tars us all.

Petesguns Well, if one runs a business that has it's doors open 24-7-365, one would figure that having appropriate service help on duty would be wise. to do otherwise is to ignore those that try to be customers when the door is open but the owner is taking a nap. My shop has set hours, and there is always someone her. Not so for this site. JMHO, and only a problem when the site goes down or gets screwed up, but one all too often that ha[ppens.

Petesguns Finally got all my auctuions listed but not without the site kicking and screaming the whole way. Gets old real quick, especially when there are too many demands on one's time. Guess we get spoiled when something we pay for actually works like it is supposed to, and when it hits the fan, we get (rightly) po'd.

AA-bob We have determined the problem with Item posting the past couple days. AA-Manny and AA-Mike are at the Network Operation Center double-teaming the server as I type this. The two customer functions that may have been affected were/are the item posting process and end of auction announcement. They should be recovered within the hour (posting this at 15:01 PDST).

Petesguns Thank you Bob, BUT, this whole situation BEGS the question WHY do these things keep happening? Are there updates being added, a hacker screwing with the system, unintended consequences from some OTHER event, or simply a breakdown in the servers? It is very puzzling to a non computer literate person why the system works faster than greased lightning one day, and the next is a stone. Can you, or WILL you, answer this? Thanks
