Rankings were f'd up last night (fwiw, Corrigan's had about a 23.2). So, no problem, there'll be rankings in the morning.

Except it's 9:42 pst already and there aren't. C'mon, goddamnit.

Did you sent a message to Buzztime, if not I did and also post on Sarge's Facebook wall.

After 5 straight weeks of getting my a** kicked I finally responded with a good game last night (16th), so I'd kinda like to be able to see it.

This is probably related to the hacker problem that they had on Friday and Saturday which disabled the Hall of Fame completely.

As posted by a Buzztime employee here yesterday afternoon:

Regarding the premium games... yeah, we had a virus hit our servers and so we've seen some odd issues here and there because of it.

Note to the ale person: Don't forget that this forum isn't monitored regularly by Buzztime. You have to contact them directly if you want any action. If you don't contact them directly, you are only pissing upwind. Can cause a bit of a splash

Hey, guys,

We're pretty sure this has to do with the virus that hit our server. The tech team is working on it and I'll give a holler when all of the stats are updated!

Sure thing Mary.

It's not implausible the glitch was connected to the earlier trouble. Seems kind of strange, though, wouldn't you agree, after not only the original scores involved managed to show up, but subsequently Saturday's scores showed up perfectly fine. That's a pretty weirdly nonconsecutive hack job.

Anyway, thanks for the advice, I'm well aware this is not an official site. I'm also well aware, as you are perfectly aware, that a complaint here can yield a response, as they're nice enough to frequently look in on us.

And voila! a response this very day! My pissing directional skills aren't so bad after all!

86th Street pulled a 23.9ish.
I figured that it might be top three material based on the difficulty level of the game.
But as soon as I saw that rankings weren't coming up, I knew that all you other kids were out of luck. Every time they fail to report scores, invariably, whatever bar I'm playing at has just won that premium game. The Swiss have called me many times to help set their watches by this phenomenon. ( And collect calls at that, I might add... cheap, chocolate-eating bastards...)

There were a variety of issues at play all day Monday.
Something is definitely wrong at HQ.
Wouldn't it be easier to just give this hacker a job?

CHODE said he pulled a 25k, there goes that theory.

Yes he had the first and second ranked scores at Metro Sports. To bad he did not log in on his account. Yesterday had KK set it up with the password as Chode has trouble doing that sort of thing. He was not logged in with his account from the top of the month of March. I logged in on his board yesterday to make sure it was set all right.

I was third (IMHERE) with a bronze medal and my WHERE or Stalker was forth. Fifth place was about 15 I think???

BT is aware and is still having troble getting it up to stay. It was for about three minutes then went down again. But I did not get to look at it when it show that fast.

I sent a PM to KK on this. Replied that BT is working on it but they didn't have an ETA yet. That hacker really did a number on them

I'm going to assume that the problems I've had with this site today are caused by the webhost service rather than a conspiracy

If their fifth place board was only 15K, even four 25Ks wouldn't pull out a #1 bar ranking.
My keen observation of the forces of the universe conspiring against me at every turn still stands...

Its official I didn't get a top 100 in STC. The stats are now up this morning.
