margot Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 There it is! Definitive Proof of the intended time of announcement! We all know that Fastlane has not gone down ONCE in the past few weeks, so obviously this downtime must mean they are posting results. Whew! It feels good to know that. Um, maybe you guys forgot, but this didn't mean ANYTHING the last two times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkargyle Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 just talked to the call center (i know it's useless). i said Me: i heard several rumors that results would be released today. is there any possibility of that happening? Call center: *long pause* we are hoping that results will be released by the end of the week. it is possible that they will be released today but i can't tell you anything further. sorry. Me: thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheherazade Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 "FastLane will be unavailable Thursday, April 9 from 11:00PM ET until 1:00AM ET on Friday, April 10 for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience." my guess is we'll know tonight. My fastlane page doesn't say this... How long has is looked like this for you?

Chem09 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 On almost every page, there's about 4-5 people quoting and not getting sarcasm. That's the real fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I am not so sure the latest posts were sarcastic. some folk are amazingly optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclopeaneye Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Not true. It went down Sunday night intermittently Seriously, guys. I know that sarcasm doesn't always come through in text so well, but its the 90's man! You gotta start looking out for this stuff! It goes down every night at around 4am (somebody had a Python script monitoring the page for changes who verified this). It also went down Sunday for scheduled maintenence which wound up doing nothing for us. If you read the posts over the past few days, there are LOADS of time people have posted "ZOMG! Fastlane is down! Results are going up?!" Forgive my dickly response, but its all getting a bit old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb6 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 we should all film our notification reactions. here's mine from last year: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlve Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 If anyone else feels the need to call, please do not ask leading questions. A lot of people have been asking things like I have heard x and is this true. We learn more from just calling and asking when they will be released. If you feel then need then ask if there is a chance for it today. Asking a leading question immediately will change the response you are given and probably decrease the accuracy of response.

liatris Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I just looked at Fastlane, there is no message saying it is going down for scheduled maintenance. Can someone else check this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superchuchubu Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hmm...so would they need to restart before posting (tomorrow) or after posting (today)? I would think they need to restart before posting results - any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aughraseye Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Personally I thank the people who are calling and asking questions. The delay and lack of info is absurd (not saying the NSF is to blame, but they should expect a some WTF phone calls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
