Downtime..

Yay!

and

Seriously something needs to be done about the server, it's been discussed in the past and we can no longer rely on "It'll be fixed by Jin eventually".

This isn't a case of the (A)GMs can't do anything, this is a case of the (A)GMs won't do anything.

Three choices:

- Jin makes himself more available.
- Jin gives power to the AGMs to fix problems (David would seem competent at this, Matt also).
- Jin finds someone to manage the server for him.

Great response time from Jin, well played.

ugh i bet my 300 posts won't be back for ages

anyway i've genuinely been dying without hxf it's given me a massive life check

if this ever happens again i will go mad .

I think whoever owns Habbox should probably consider just selling up or getting someone who can fix an issue within a couple of hours (minutes preferably). It was just a tad too long this time

EDIT: Also, I strongly recommend you give everyone who has Donator/VIP a few extra days on their subscriptions. The people who actually bought it deserve priority seeing as it is their money that's keeping this dodgy old boat afloat

[Mark]

I totally agree! Jin should really give someone power to manage the servers in his absence

Use a more reliable forum that hasn't had any downtime in the time it's been up.

Hang on a second, www.fallscountanywhere.com

This is entirely unacceptable. Jin needs to seriously think about getting a second administrator.

'nuff said.

[Mathew]

David would be perfectly capable of sorting the site out at times like this (even if it's just temporary); it's beyond me why the lesson wasn't learnt back in March when it happened too.

Was a bit stupid and a very long downtime I hope that General Management do talk to Jin and get someone else who can sort things as soon as it happens, sometimes I don't think they realise how much of an effect even short amounts of downtime has on the site.

[Inseriousity.]

I don't really see how it's a case of AGMs not doing anything. I imagine all of them woulda put the site back up in minutes had they been given the tools to do so. All three of your choices rely on Jin making a choice and then acting on it. Unfortunately, he needs to delegate better but again I would not be surprised if 6 months down the line, same thing happens again with no changes.
