NO, because your data is saved to your hard drive.

I noticed that Guzzlefish is now back up but very slow. However, DVD Profiler is still down. They must be working on getting a new server.

Guzzlefish has always been slow.

You can blame me for the problems with DVD Profiler. I just registered finally last month.

Expect them to go under, now that I've paid.

I've been having problem with guzzlefish yesterday and today. But finally was able to add some new stuff. It's just slow.

DVDProfiler, on the other hand, is different. I can't even access the DB. Nor can I access their web site or forum. And I have some stuff to add to it too. I hope they come back up soon.

Wow, no wonder! I thought it was just my computer or something. I tried 5 times yesterday to enter my 502nd DVD and with no luck. This is the first time it's happened to me so I'm glad I read this before whining to their website. Thanks!

Im glad I posted this...I wasnt sure if it belonged in this forum....Didnt know where else to put it!

Now....when will this darn site be up...I have 5 dvd's to enter into my database.....OH THE INSANITY!!!

Since the other sites are slow, I'd love to invite you guys to join up with Mediachest. We allow you to keep track of DVDs, Games, CDs and books. We also allow you to keep track of borrowing when people borrow things from you. There is even a group on there for DVD talk if you want to browse collections of other members.

You can even upload pictures of your collection and have them appear in your profile.

Its all (GUTS) fault!
He had to go shoot off his mouth and get the whole darn world involved....

Geezzzzz Gut, can't you keep our DVD collecting thing a secret...???

Okay, folks, here's the real deal.

Ken Cole from InterVocative Software just posted this to a similar thread over at HTF:

"Thanks for your concern. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that it's not bankruptcy - IVS as a company is alive and well. The bad news is that it's not the NYT article - just incredibly bad timing for a hardware failure. Couple this with a comedy of errors involving our servers and ISPs, and we have the downtime as a result. I had held off responding, hoping to have a resolution timeframe to post, but unfortunately, I still don't have confidence enough to make any specific promises.

We will be back up as soon as physically possible - both of our ISPs are working on the issues, including bringing an entirely new server online and copying the data across. With the sheer volume of data we host, it is not a quick process under the best of conditions...

Thanks for your patience."

As we can no longer blame "Guts" for this, I believe that jough is clearly at fault: no doubt his $25.00 bought the chip(s) that failed!

Guzzlefish needs to start charing or something, so they can get a fatter pipe/better server, cos the speeds have sucked for a few months now. Too bad cos I like it alot more than the others =\

It's good to know the reason for DVD Profiler's server problem. Hope they can fix the problem quickly and everything will be back to normal shortly.

I think that we should still balme everything on Gut

ummm...hemmmm

Thanks for the post RevKarl
I am glad to hear it's not bankruptcy.
I can be patient, but if it were gone forever I would be very very dissapointed.

It's true, my $25 bought the case of beer which one of the techs spilled on the server.

I'm telling you, any time I finally break down and buy a piece of shareware it brings the company to its knees and they go out of business, thus negating my "lifetime" of free updates.

It's like clockwork.

Sorry dude, I tried it and there is so much that isn't even in that database. Also, it counts a movie with the first letter being "A" as in A Beautiful Mind in the A's. Every other list has it in the B's.

I knew if I read long enough, I'd find someone who blames me.

Collectors are not big on sharing. It has something to do with obsession.

Mediachest doesn't really offer anything DVDAf and Guzzlefish aren't already offering - and I don't loan my DVDs to anyone and buy them rather than borrow them.

Well, DVD Profiler is still down. We can't blame servers and ISP's, so I say we blame Gutwrencher since he is here. It is as good a reason as any.

anyone know how to enter in "accessories" there is a column for it in the charts, but I have never been able to find a way to enter them...

Well I don't know what you think an accessory is. But as far as IVS is concerned accessories are what is used for the various optimizing discs.

Skip

How long does it take to replace a server? Are they a business or what? Are they waiting to order parts rather than move everything over immediately to a new box?

I don't care how much data they have - it wouldn't take 5 days to transfer it to a new hard drive unless they were moving it over a floppy at a time.

Obviously they are having money problems - there's no technical reason they should be down for this long - unless they're using a cut-rate ISP. But even then, that signals money problems.

Jough,

You do realize DvdProfiler isn't even Intervocative's primary source of revenue. Last time I looked it was a rather small %. I for one am glad you're not my stock broker based off your analysis

-Tim

still down. hoping it comes back on soon.

My thoughts to... really want to update!
