Wow. Completely down, that's not good.

Probably while trying to fix the uploading issues, some intern pulled the plug.

I'm a total junkie... can't check my stats.... panic.... thinking the worst...  Are they updating something?

Exciting News!
Shutterstock has been purchased by Walmart and we plan to shake up the industry...


Ackkk even the buyers' site is down.

Hopefully they're fixing the bug that stopped them reporting my sales for the past day!

They increase revenue for us !  :)

Problems also in Romania ...

Both down here, though at least with Bigstock you get an error page.

"We are gearing up for some changes.
Please bear with us while we perform some updates and improvements to the site.
Bigstock will be available again shortly."

SS just goes nowhere.

Because any good technology company knows that the best time to upgrade a system is the middle of the day in the middle of the week. I'm calling BS on BS. Somebody crashed their servers. Maybe the developers that have been screwing up at SS finally wrote some code bad enough to bring down the house.

Now at Offset;
UPDATE: We're still working hard to fix the problem. Please stay tuned and we'll let you know when we're back up!
And at SS:
We'll be right back.
Shutterstock is undergoing scheduled maintenance and will return soon.

Same answer - this was no scheduled maintenance.

The idiots at SS have been spending too much time uploading footage to Bigstock and have crashed both sites in the process

I think its my fault SS is down, i just hit $10k payrise today. Sorry guys.
They need to reboot it to allow for my massive increase.

Threads on Twitter. When it started, 'they are looking into this.' Wouldn't need to look into scheduled maintenance, would you?

Last post on Twitter in the Department of Redundancy Department:

We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but Shutterstock is currently experiencing downtime. Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve this.
Title: Re: ShutterS and BigS Down?
Post by: dbvirago on February 18, 2015, 11:56
Okay, so they finally fessedup.

My Tweet to them, "Not really buying 'scheduled maintenance' at 11am est on a Wednesday"

Their reply, "Neither are we. Sorry for the inconvenience with downtime today, Darryl, and we’re doubly sorry for the outage page confusion."

I'm going to go shoot some pictures

The bailing twine and duct tape is giving way.

It's a bit of a disaster when the last site delivering consistent results goes offline. (I suppose that should be "consistently good" ... there are plenty of consistently bad ones).

That "changes" word is troubling.

SS posts over the past few weeks have a real overtone of deja vu.

Because of this 2-hour gap (or however long it was) today's sales suffered a lot.
Title: Re: ShutterS and BigS Down?

lost sales today and now the landlord is banging on my door asking for this month's rent. If only I could put them 'Off-Line'  :-\

So now that the site's back up, I get to see that the outage cost me a big chunk of sales. Unfortunately, it happened during the sweet spot for me, when European and U.S. sales overlap. I'm about 30% behind where I should be by this time of day.

My DLs suck today, but before the crash I bagged an EL and just now checked and had two more ODDs and a SOD. DLs are down, but if a bad day consists of a grand slam I guess its not too bad.

Yup, cut my sales practically in half. I think buyers saw the site was down and spent the rest of the day elsewhere.

make that bad week of sundays, since this is friday and already logging in is also screwed.
IT is truly remarkably effingup and showing us how good they are at screwing things up at ss.

For years, since the beginning there was no problem with SS website.  Now they went public, move into fancy offices, turn into bigshots, and their IT website reliability goes to sh*t.  This story is getting real familiar.  :(
