There have been too many problems lately and after many years here I sadly say I may have to take my leagues to another site.
Opening week and the site was down on Thursday and now today on Sunday. I got multiple text and AIM messages from team owners that could not make team adjustments.
I am new here, you would think that after all these years Fleaflicker would have a system that scales, it isn't like this is their first year out. The whole site looks like it is done by a couple of engineers out of a garage. It is not very intuitive at all. Not polished. I picked this site because it had a mobile option but I was afraid to even look at that version after everything I've seen here.
It wouldn't have been so bad if DirecTV wasn't having Sunday Ticket problems at the same time. I did have to take some zeroes when I couldn't log in to make changes, but I would have lost those games anyway.
"We are truly sorry and apologize for any of today's outages. We are looking into new server options for the rest of the season and take this very seriously. Please accept our sincerest apologies; our engineers are working around the clock to get it stabilized for today and we'll move servers so this does not happen again. All information will be in tact."
The reason they aren't providing an explanation is probably because they are doing everything they can to fix the problem. Stuff happens, everybody relax a bit.

I am going to abandon my team.

We apologize and posted on our Site Announcement page as well.
Our engineers have currently stabilized the situation and we will continue working around the clock to put a more permanent fix in place.
We apologize for today's unacceptable outages. We will upgrade our operations immediately to ensure this does not happen again.
We take server uptime and performance very seriously but unfortunately our new data center was not equipped to handle Sunday's traffic surge.
We are fantasy fanatics ourselves and we know how important it is to have 100% uptime and live scoring.

Thank you for the update. We appreciate that fleaflicker is working on the fix.

Again, site is off and on. Very lame...

We need a response from FleaFlicker about what's going on.

Any chance we can get an explanation here? I'm about to move my league for good. This is ridiculous.
