The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I appreciate people will be busy this morning but it someone could provide a likely ETA for normal service it would be much appreciated - either on the Status page or here?
Thanks in advance.
NB. twitter.com/Freeola would work well for Service updates and if the outage was affecting your website you could still reach the world :¬)

bit odd how he talks of freeola in the third person then. he isnt ashamed of them is he?
The forums are not a support channel but I appreciate that they are a way of getting information to many customers at the same time. I have been dealing with this outage since it occurred and trying to update you when possible.
It is a complicated situation and frustrating for all involved, especially you, our customers. I know an apology doesn't really help but Freeola are very sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Hardware is causing us some problems on the new server, which is delaying it going online. It's not something I can say will take X minutes to resolve but we're not stopping until it's all back.
With regards to the status update and the 48 hour timescale: This is the time it will take to transfer any data from the old server to the new server, not the time the new server will be unavailable once it's ready or the time it will take the MX server to start sending emails to you inboxes.

[I]Updated 9/12/09 17:44 PM: When the replacement e-mail server is in place, and the e-mail service is functioning again, please be aware that your mailbox may be empty at first. Please allow up to 48 hours from the restoration of the e-mail service, while we endeavor to transfer messages from the old server to the new server's mailboxes. [I]
You have seriously got to be joking! I'm beyond words now.

Problem will be gone in three days from happening!
When the replacement e-mail server is in place, and the e-mail service is functioning again, please be aware that your mailbox may be empty at first. Please allow up to 48 hours from the restoration of the e-mail service, while we endeavor to transfer messages from the old server to the new server's mailboxes.
We're all waiting to hear an apology from you Anthony!
