Default Ultimatebet continued downtime...Questions

yo,
I'm sorry to post this, but i have tried searches to no avail for meaningful info instead of "i want money" or "their software sucks".

Has anyone heard anything except the "server upgrade" line from UB? I think it may take a while to replace a server, but the silence is odd from a usually communicative website.

If anyone has any info, it'd be good to know. If not, sorry for the post!

Regards,
Pete Harris

unfucking real....after working perfectly for an hour or two, i'm sitting in an 8/b game with $40, run it up to $80, then the site goes down again, and it lists me as having LOST the $40

if this sticks i'm [censored] done with UB for good

it is odd that UB is having such trouble, I mean i'm guessing it is simply transitional issues, not a 'conspiracy' as most anti-online gaming people will run around shouting.

If you email them and explain, they will credit you - i mean, hand histories must be kept intact somewhere.

this cracks me up. i stopped playing on UB about 4 months ago, due to it always being down and the stupid "bet pot" button. but i missed the $40 + $4 tourneys, so 2 days ago i started up again. i sign up for the 6pm $40 + $4 tourney today, and it crashes. what a f'n joke.

This happened to me last night. I got an e-mail saying that the chips our table were "frozen" until they could look into it. Everything checked out and they posted the money I had at the table back to my account.

On the other hand I just got to heads up in an SnG and the sites now gone down completely.

It would be really nice if they could make some kind of statement before they lose all credibility.

Whatever the hell UB is doing, it is horrid. Any downtime over a 12 hour period is unreal. I have been playing on UB since 2003 but once it is finally back up I am going to send support a long email how this is BS. Though the only response I will probably get is "We apologize, blah blah blah, upgrade, blah, striving to make your experience better, blah blah"

it's not 12 hrs now, it's at least 3 days since i had no trouble getting into UB. That's why the silence is so odd, they should have dozens of email staff saying "sorry sorry it's just servers!"

It's the lack of reassurance that is odd for a usually solid CS site.

I think you have to give UB a break. They have not been down like this for a long long time. They must be going through a major upgrade and looks like it took longer than they thought. There about 20 sites out there, why not just play there for a while. This is the only site I play on. It will be a good break for me to other things.
