DRF down?

Of all the things to put in an area that's notoriously known for flooding, A data center should not be one of them. High rent and high insurance to boot. I expect a increase in the form prices soon.

Has anyone seen or heard an update from them? Free PP's are swell, but was really hoping to know if we can expect Formulator to be operational by Monday ( realizing of course there is not a chance, but would like to know officially)

Two and a half days now--beyond embarrassing.

There is no way possible that this is simply a "power" or "infrastructure" issue. I'm getting the feeling it will be more like weeks, not days.

@DRFFormulator @BDiDonatoTDN @DRFInsidePost is it possible at this point to say whether it will be today, tomorrow or even longer?

DRF Formulator ‏@DRFFormulator 1h
@NTamm1215 @BDiDonatoTDN @DRFInsidePost Hard to say with 100% certainty, but looking good for later today.

I agree with you. When there is a power outage, it's not going to take several days to fix. I would have to think there is something else going on. Maybe the site got hacked. I remember for a while there when some foreign hackers were taking control of sites and then blackmailing the owners of the sites to pay a ransom. I wonder if something like that could be going on in this case.

Anyway, no matter what is causing the site to be down, I sure hope they have the site back up at some point today.

Yes. It is very clear it's not a power outage that's at work here.

Since they have our credit card numbers on file I'd keep an eye on it.
