    What the hell is going on with Full Tilt Poker.

    Over the last few days they have been crashing left right & centre. I've been in the middle of tourneys and been left waiting for sometimes 20 mins+ to resume while they sort out the server problems.

    But it keeps happening time after time.

    Anybody else been 'caught' for tourney buy-ins?

    A Joke.... :mad:

    I noticed it first the other day when I was railing the final table of their FTOPS main event.

    The site bombed when it was 3 handed and I thought that was so embarrassing for them.

    Been up & down ever since.

    Did e-mail support re refunds for my buy-ins but have not heard from them yet :eek: Maybe they have their hands full.........

    They're not the greatest at replying promptly. Actually they're rubbish at replying. This is probably the same thing as happened around 6 months ago. Poor chinese hackers do a routine DDoS attack on the site asking for a few million dollars.

    I heard a rumour that a lot of poker sites were under attack from hackers, there is not a article up on poker news about this.

    Fult Tilt was the first online site I signed up to and this was my experience too, to the point that I eventually cashed out and never darkened their doorstep since.

    Cashing out was quite the experience too. It went something like:
    1. Email them saying I want to cash out.
    2. Repeat 1 about 20 times until I eventually get a response from someone telling me I need to fax them my passport.
    3. Do so.
    4. Email them saying I've done so but still can't seem to cash out.
    5. Repeat 4 about 20 times until I eventually get a response from someone telling me I need to fax them my passport.
    6. Reply saying I've done so already.
    7. Repeat 6 about 20 times.
    8. Refax my passport.
    9. Email them saying I've now faxed my passport twice but still can't seem to cash out.
    10. Repeat 9 about 20 times until I eventually get a response from someone telling me I need to fax them my passport.
    11. Email them saying I've already done this three times.
    12. Repeat 12 about 20 times.
    13. Email them saying I've just bought a gun and a one way airline ticket to Canada.
    14. Get a response saying the fax of my passport came through too dark and they can't be sure it's me.
    15. Choose to ignore the fact that they have no idea what I look like and why they should even care, go to Reads of Nassau Street to get a light photocopy made to fax to them.
