ffs lads - this was scheduled downtime from 4am - 7am. I was in the office at 6.40am

this morning waiting for the client to go live again so I could be on hand to test it after the upgrade

that really depends on who 'they' are.

phantom_lord · 20-01-2009 4:27pm

it doesn't matter to me who does it, it's hardly a big deal for ipoker or the skins (i presume they all knew about it?) to tell players about scheduled down time, judging by the ipoker regs thread no one was told about it.

they did, a message poped p for me about half 2 (am). but then again my teachers in school always said i was special:P

BigCityBanker · 20-01-2009 4:55pm

alll skins were notified about the downtime and its up to each skin to choose how they want to let their players know, if they want to let them know.

As it is off peak it doesnt really make sense to hit your db with a message which isnt going to effect many of them. For that reason we take the view that we alert all players who are online from 3am and tell them that we are going down at 4am for a period of 3 hours. We continue to remind players every 15 mins of the scheduled downtime and then every 10 minutes in the time immediately preceding the downtime.

Obviously during the downtime you will have a small portion of your db who attempt to login and your left to deal with them on a case by case basis.

AFAIK many skins take no steps to alert there players and the first they hear of it is the close message which appears mid hand.

I see the maintenance worked well what a joke, got moved to a table with no players, thats I knew one for me and I thought I had seen all that ipoker had to offer.

ckarsenal · 20-01-2009 7:21pm

jesus this is fair annoyin! playin a tournament last hour and a half and now i poker is down-again!
asked the agent online how long I have to wait to see if the tournament restarts or I get at least a refund and they told me they dont know!
anyone know how long do you have to wait to see if the tournament restarts?

edit: looks like its just my tournament which is fcuked-so waste of an hour and a half :mad:

twasantis · 20-01-2009 7:26pm

down to 50 in 10k with average and it went...down to last 20 or so in 15k and 4th in chips and its lagging really really bad!!!

Why not stick a message in for your "db" when they're logging in,
once you become aware of the maintenance schedule?

Ya seem to think it makes sense to ply them with adverts for "promotions"
each time they log in although many of them won't be availing of these offers.

Personally I hate too many stickys on forums. We already have 5. 4 of which are essential to have and 1 (BBV) that may as well be stuck up there. I'd rather not have any more (apart from the odd ones for boards competitions) unless it was really needed. I dont feel a sticky for this is really needed, and anyway enough attention is usually drawn to it when ipoker does go down.

Thats all just my opinion obv, I'm not overly bothered either way. If the other mods or users in general want it stuck then no problemo

you do realise you answered your own question here?

RichardB2 · 21-01-2009 2:55pm

If the answer is that you don’t want to send messages to your db that won’t effect them,
why do you operate a double standard & force them to click around advertisements that won’t effect them?
Why Noel, why?
Surely a button on the site they could voluntarily click would bring any promotions they wished to avail of to the attention of interested customers.
That’s not the PP mindset though is it Noel.
Much better to force feed 'em what suits you & hide what doesn't eh. :rolleyes:

BigCityBanker · 21-01-2009 3:01pm

lol, get down off the stage and dry your eyes.

RichardB2 · 21-01-2009 3:05pm

I expect they'll be dry as a bone long before you ever answer a question

dvdfan · 23-01-2009 12:54am

working fine here dvd check your firewall settings

zuroph · 23-01-2009 12:57am

so what was the upgrade?

dvdfan · 23-01-2009 1:01am

Weird, i dont even have the firewall on, my networked PC which does my mining on Carlos cant get access either for the last 2 days. Its probably just someone blocking me while they clear out my accoutn:D

phantom_lord · 23-01-2009 1:03am

i thought carlos were leaving ipoker?

dvdfan · 23-01-2009 1:08am

Ah your right, went to site to redownload and it says theyve migrated to Microgaming.

I was told that Microgaming were closing up soon, obviously not if Carlos moved there
