Funimation Website and Streaming Service Crashing

[ben0119]

We've been at it for like 30-45 minutes now trying to load the next episode for our One Piece watching group.  You had one job, Funimation!  ONE JOB!  Signs of the Sony-ocalypse?

 

Apparently it's likely a combination of their influx of convention sign-ups coupled with some big Super special episode thing tonight.  Still, they should have been prepared for this, had stronger servers.  THIS IS BULLSHIT!

Look on the bright side.  At least it's time better spent than it would be watching One Piece.

It's down for maintenance.  It's INTENDED to be down.

the site crashed then they put up the maintenance warning while they tried to get it back up

Was actually due to people watching Super live.

So it's like a transit company making the announcement that a train is delayed due to train traffic ahead of them and me going "FUCK you! You know you're scrapping a corpse off the tracks!!"

The Super episode he referred to was that, though a bit unclear.

Considering I pay as a premium member for their service, I was pretty disappointed in their failure to handle server load during peak hours, even if it was on a "special" event night.
