2009-12-07 Outage update

Problems with the message log that some people are reporting are related to the missing game moves.

Further updates about this later today.

Surely when an outage occurs, time should stop..... I'm running a 100 game load at a reasonable rating level. Before the outage I had zero games on time-bank, but now I have heaps and i'm way behind the eight-ball.... I'm not happy, in fact I will leave RHP if this problem cannot be addressed for future outages which will inevietably take place. A 48hr time-out ban won't help me as it will take at least a week to get back anywhere near the game-managemet plan that I had in place before this outage. I want an answer to this please Russ, as I will now surely lose games simply by virtue of time pressure through no fault of my own.....

I run on average 100+ games and at no time could a 1 day outage suddenly run me behind. Sorry but your argument doesn't seem to be a valid one.

Don't worry be happy, it's only a game 😉

There are people in the world, who have really a problem - don't know, how to survive the day until tomorrow.

I feel exactly the same! I have joined RHP recently and basically from the start I couldn't claim, even though the person hasn't played for quite some time! It is wasting our time and space and if you don't want to play - resign!!!!!!!!!

So much negativity! Well I for one enjoy the site, even at times where I see my rating plummet. I appreciate the admins quick response to the problem and I believe a 48 hour cushion is more than enough.

Thanks for everything.

Right on Hany3!!! He is being a crybaby.
