I have run mocks all this week and tonight, the night of my draft, I can't get into the draft room at all. Tried from two different computers using 2 different connections. Also, I have confirmed that others in our league can't connect as well.
We had to do our draft manually because the fleaflicker draft would not open for all players and when I as the commisioner finally got in there was no command to suspend the draft or allow me draft players for a team that could not make it. It was a catastrophe! Fleaflicker, we will be moving our league to another website next year and our other will move this year since our draft is next week and we cannot have these problems. Sorry, you lost 20 hard core fantasy subscribers.
Not much I can say. I know that this is the worst possible technical glitch because people set aside time for the live draft and it's difficult to get the entire league together.
The error was due to a configuration issue on one of the servers. When AOL bought Fleaflicker we moved everything to AOL's datacenter. There was one server setting which was overlooked. As a result the draft application started dropping connections (it was not under heavy load--it can handle many many times more traffic).
All I can say is when we mess up we fix it pretty quickly. And I'll definitely ensure this doesn't happen again.
