are they down again?
05/20/2009 at 7:39 pm #1905588yep….they need a few more hamsters running the ship.
05/20/2009 at 7:42 pm #1905589And, it is not even the weekend!!
05/20/2009 at 7:51 pm #1905590The trend seems to be that they perform planned system outages in the middle of the week to limit the impact on their users. Most of their users need the site UP on the weekend (when most are looking to log their finds or pick out a cache to go look for..)
If it goes down on the weekend it’s probably not planned 😯
Means they are probably rolling out changes or moving something today.
05/20/2009 at 7:55 pm #1905591Sure enough, on the groundspeak forums there is a 5/20 site release notes posting. They’ve updated things again. Here is the text of the post for those who don’t want to click one more time to read it:
Greetings cachers. For this month’s code release we offer a major upgrade to the Caches Along a Route feature.
In the new version of CAaR, you are presented with a tool for creating routes online using Google Maps. Create a route between 2 points up to 500 miles in length. Play around with detours from the route and you’ll be surprised that a “route” can even be shaped as a square! Basic members can experiment with route creation, too.
In addition to many infrastructure tweaks, these bugs were fixed:

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/07/03/2009 at 10:56 am #19056004th of July weekend and it’s down??? 🙄
07/03/2009 at 12:07 pm #1905601My browser is acting like geocaching.com is not even valid rather than “they are down for maintenance”… that is weird. Maybe they forgot to pay their domain bill..
Usually when they are down for maintenance they now show a message about visiting the forums. However, their forums are under the geocaching.com domain as well.
groundspeak.com doesn’t load either..
interesting time to be down.
