As much as I love the game site and my job there as Site Admin along with my co-Admin there is just something boring about watching the chat lobby when it doesn't move.
Last night the site went down several times. It had had several "hiccups" over the past 24 hours so it wasn't that big of a shock. A hiccup is when the lobby or the games freeze and, five minutes or less later, the server catches up with itself and all is well again.
Last night it hiccupped and then a short while later it stopped again. We waited for five minutes or so and no site. I had to call the Support person and wake her up a task I dread.
After a while the tech guys were in there working away and they got it running again but a short while later it crashed again so the tech guys had to reboot all the servers again. Ugh, another call to wake up the Support person. Poor woman, hard to get a good nights rest that way.
I will be happy as can be the day the owner gets some new servers and things stay up 24/7. In the meantime i enjoy myself there and just get bored when I must look at a screen of non-moving chat.

Wahhhhhhh
They may be adults, but sometimes the players on the game site I moderate chat for sound like little children crying.
The site went down today while it is at its busiest. Hey, sites go down, it's part of internet life. Yes, we were extremely busy running a lot of games. Yes, they were all games that pay out more than most of our games. But, and this is the important part, the site is free! Nobody lost any money, they just lost the game they were playing.
But, once the site is back up into the lobby they come, in droves. All crying and moaning and groaning that they lost. Well, I feel for them. I was almost to the getting some cash part of my game when the site died. But the big difference is I am telling them it's not life threatening or anything, there is always the next game, the site is free, and all they are doing is crying into their beer.
What a bunch of babies. It is the internet people. You want real life turn off the computer and play games like people did before the internet.
