    We are currently experiencing heavier than expected traffic and are
    unable to fulfill your request at this time. Please come back later.
    Thank you.

    It seems thus that ff.net is down, and this is the first time in close
    to 6 hours when I actualy recive a message from the server. The usual
    was the normal "Connection failed" screen.

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    If it doesn't work, keep hitting Go until it works. It will work. Works perfect for me.

    Yeah. Every now and then, it's saying a chapter isnt there or its moving a story to the front of the list when it hasnt even been updated. It's a bit annoying to be honest.

    Shit happens.

    Well dont expect ff.net to be up anytime soon today. Better off checking tommorrow since today is the day where they are fixing/moving/powering thier servs with redundant power.

    I've been there today but it's still acting choppy for me. Is it doing the same for anyone else?

    No problem accessing stories when I have the direct link, but Search, Just In, etc. haven't worked for me at all today.

    The site appears to be back up now, but it's always annoying when it's down. Sure, I would like to see a lot of changes at FFN, but the site is a necessary evil. There really aren't any other sites out there with an audience as large as FFN's. It was the first fanfiction site that I found, and I just can't imagine another site with an audience as diverse as that of FFN. It would be great if they set up a redundant cluster of servers, so that downtime like this would be less of an issue. From a programming standpoint, this wouldn't be a difficult task--especially if the site went in to read only mode when something was wrong.
