Anybody else having a problem getting on site? I can't get on any part of the site. I don't remember hearing anything about work on there?

Anyone else having trouble getting on the BFG website? I can get onto all the other ones, but not BFG

I can't get on either.

When I tried to get on it said they were having technical difficulties.

Maybe maintenance work is being done.

Okay, thankyou Kate Anne, we will just have to wait then. They say patience is a virtue. Annd... I think I have to wait till payday before I can buy anymore anyway... but I really want to know badly what the game for today is......

I believe it's
"G.H.O.S.T Chronicles: Phantom of the Renaissance Faire"
the one in a thread just below yours.
I was there earlier.

You're right Mag. Still under maintenance.

Hi Johnnycowgirl,

Nancy Drew: Secret of the Scarlet Hand is the game scheduled for today.

Margie B

Thanks Margie

Thankyou Margie B and Loony4labs, I will try it but the last Nancy Drew I tried included housework and TM type kitchen chores. ND The White Wolf of Icicle Creek, loved it up until that, are they all like that? I bought the game from Amazon and it sits on the shelf, I suppose I aught to sell it for a couple of £. I tried the Capu Cave one which I thought might be good but the computer froze on that one. Not sure if it was this PC or my laptop.
I love GHOST Chronicles-renaissance faire, Finnished it and starting again.

Big trouble.
The largest data center in Seattle Fisher Plaza had a large fire.

The equipment on our floor is safe but power is out to the whloe building.

The building is under several feet of water and they will not tell us when it will restore power. We are in process of transferring all our data to our backup datacenter, but that is a 12 to 18 hour process as we have thousands of servers and massive databases of info to transfer.

Fisher plaza is the hosting facility for hundreds of companies, so this is a major Internet disruption.

Please be patient.

Thanks for letting us know BF-Guy. Hope everyone is okay. Good luck on the fix-up. You have all of our support and we will be patient.

Thank you for letting us know, BFG-Guy--and I'm SO sorry this has happened. I really appreciate your coming on here and taking the time to let us know.

For Big Fish, we will all have infinite patience!

Everyone, please look at my post from today. BF-Guy explains everything. Please give him our support in this matter.

"it seems internal and early estimates from fisher and seattle city light are 5-6 hours till power is restored."

Well, that was 6 hours ago, but you can check their Twitter for updates.

Thanks BFG-Guy for your posting here and letting us know. My thoughts and prayers with you guys as it is another holiday and that's gotta make it alot rougher on everyone.

Hope everything goes back to normal for you guys quickly.

Thank you, BFG-guy for the update.

Hope that you have all good possible outcome, the backup goes smoothly and that you don't need a sedative.

You have a great team to work on the problem.

Take care.

So Sorry BFG Guy

Hope everything backs up OK. What a nasty surprise. I want to wish you a Happy 4th of July, :USA: even though you will probably all be working.

We all love you guys and know you will do your best. I will be happy when Riddle O'Day comes back up! I always have my morning coffee and play!

All the best to you and your crew!! :summer:

Happy Trails,
HorseDancer

Ooooh! How awful. I do hope everything turns out ok, for you all at Bigfish who work so hard for us. And we will wait however long it takes. And as Marion said thank you so much for letting us know. Love to you all, chin up
Inge

Wish you all the best and hope everyone is oke.
thank you for the info.

Whoa. Hey, BFG, good luck and thanks for the heads up!

Semi-relatedly, and bringing work stuff into Gameboomers, but I wonder if that's why Verizon seems to be down for our office and many of our customers (we do network support outsourcing). Dang. And I'm on call, too.

If you "titter" for #fisherfire you can see a new update every 10 seconds or so.
Estimates are 1000 sites, 2 radio stations and a TV station were knocked out with this fire.

WE are in the process of moving to our backup datacenter. This will not be quick or easy. FIsher expects to be down another 12 to 24 hours, but we shoudl be back up before them.

I would like to add my thanks for taking the time to post and let us know what is happening BFGuy. Hopefully no one was hurt--material things can always be replaced, human life can't.

Doreen

Wish you all well, BFG! Big hugs!
