This exactly, doing it during the last 20 games of the regular season is really dumb. Do it in August, makes way more sense to me.Yeah, I've been pretty frustrated with HFBoards. I finally was able to login on my laptop on Wednesday and then they shut the site down again? Why couldn't they have waiting until the summer to do this?

Normally I wouldn’t complain too much but I’m paying for this site. Was this blackout planned or accidental?
If it’s planned, how about doing this stuff in August??

Might be wrong but it seems that is was maintenance that went terribly wrong.
My understanding is that they upgraded the software for the web site and it did not take well, as you suggested. When they tried to fix it, things did not go well, and when they tried to reboot it, that's when the real problems started. As I have said, things were fine until they started tinkering with it, kind of like Windows. Should have waited until the summer when it would have been less impactful. But as they say, hindsight is 20/20...
On a positive note the site seems to navigate faster, maybe it's just me. Not having any reliable back ups in place was a giant failMy understanding is that they upgraded the software for the web site and it did not take well, as you suggested.

Sounds a bit like a scene from a movie I saw once…My understanding is that they upgraded the software for the web site and it did not take well, as you suggested.

That didn’t end so well.

I can’t imagine paying for this and having to deal with this amateurish crap…I’d be stopping my next payment.
Agree 100% on doing this stuff during the offseason…considering the amount of traffic this site gets and the fact it’s hockey related, you’d think someone in an office somewhere would grow enough of a brain cell to realize that updates should be scheduled for the time period between July 10th and August 30th every year so if things like this happen, they don’t risk alienating and losing users and subscribers.
Maybe it’s time someone start building an alternate option to this site in case one of these times they can’t recover the data…if I had any clue how to, I’d be working on it already
Well the pop up adds of some girl trying to increase her cleavage with some type of tank top have gone away. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing?
Glad to see it all up and running again.

I enjoyed having a peaceful day of not listening to anyone bitch about Stanley (or anything else related to the top team in the NHL). We should have these outages more often

My "sponsor" status disappeared - doesn't expire until Sept or Oct.
Can't find any sort of "help" button.

I miss that myself.
Stanley really sucks while festering in the press box.
Stanley still sucks.
You know you don't have to come on here if you want a break from it?
Mine too but i got a notice i had to renew.Thinking i'm going to wait and see what happens to this site in the next few days first.

I'm sorry, my sponsorship has expired? I don't think so. I renewed on 24-11-2024. Figure it out HF.
Haven't kept my receipts from sponsorship from years previous, for whatever reason I did this time.

Does saying he suck make him suck less? Or more?
I'm trying to figure out the payoff that you get from repeating it ad nauseum. Maybe it takes your mind of your own shortcomings?
Some people feel better about themselves by tearing others down...

Maybe. And maybe in some parallel universe out there, Logan Stanley is a 3 time Norris Trophy winner
