NFFC Site Down

Tom or Greg,

I headed over to make my free agent picks this morning and the following showed up:

-------------
Attention: We are experiencing technical difficulties, but we'll be up shortly for fantasy access. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you.
-------------

I'm hoping the site is up prior to the free agent deadline today but is there a contingency plan if the site is not up?

I just got out of an hour-long meeting so I'll get in touch with STATS now to see what's going on. I'll post an update when I find out.

I just heard from STATS. They are experiencing some database issues which is preventing users from accessing their teams. They're working on the problem and should have it fixed shortly. It's possible we may move the free agent deadline back a bit today. I'll let everyone know if that occurs.

I'm hoping we have this situation resolved well before 4:30 ET. Once I hear back from STATS I'm hoping to have a clearer idea of how long this will take to be resolved and whether we have to take additional measures such as extending the deadline today.

Looks like the front page is now accessible. I'm not able to get into the admin area to see if I can access any of the team sites yet.

Still down...

I just received the same message. That's a step closer. I think we'll have this resolved very soon and it's my hope we won't have to extend the free-agent deadline.

I was in a meeting from 10:30 to 11:30 CT. Does anyone know what time they first noticed the site was down?
