It works for me again. I could load wooden which is in off season and meant nothing to me this morning, but couldn't get into IBA. Nothing was posted on the forums at 5am when I got up, so I figured it was just me.

Knocking on wood, but it hasn't booted me off in a little while, so maybe it IS fixed. If so, what was the issue?

We believe this has been resolved.  We had a problem underneath the hood that we have never seen before and it took some time to troubleshoot.

We apologize to all that encountered the sporadic performance today.

Thanks for the updates. That said, the first round of exhibitions haven't been played yet in Phelan. Will they, and by extension, the start of this season, be pushed back?

In Tark, most of the afternoon games were played over an hour ago, and the rest have not yet run. I assume the problem is still being worked on and nothing will be happening until it is fixed.

Not sure if it happened to anyone else, but I came home on lunch and only got on this website. In the morning this was also the only website I got on. After I left when I came home firefox wouldn't open. I rebooted, ran 3 scanners and nothing happened. I did a system restore and now everything is fine. Not sure what happened, but something was preventing this to re-open.

I had to repair permissions on my Mac after coming here earlier. Nothing major, but it DID make my computer run noticeably slower than it should have.

Did WiS get hacked?

Seems like its possible.

runtime error day at wis, no not capitalizing wis right now, they don't deserve it, problem after problem after problem for the past several months, what's going to happen tomorrow/this week?

I love the "we don't know how or why this happened/we've never seen this before" explanations from WIS...they're hilarious. You guys have been programmers/professionals for how long? I'll bet EA Sports isn't beating anyone's door down here...
