Star Trek is science fiction. Star Wars is space fantasy. I think that's where most people make the mistake. They're apples and oranges
You've got technical reasons for things in Star Trek and mystical, quasi-religious reasons for things in Star Wars.
As we've seen in the real world, science and religion haven't always gotten along overly much (although sometimes it does happen).
I've never seen the need to have the Trek/Wars fight. I'm a fan of Star Trek. I'm not a fan of Star Wars - but I can enjoy a decent story (which is why I can enjoy the original trilogy and freely revile the prequels).
People also fail to realize also from time to time, opinions differ, and that's okay! Just don't take it personal if an opinion is the opposite of yours. I mean as long as it's not anything harmful then it's all good.
Rest assured that we have our best Engineers on the case and we have made good progress in the last couple hours. While our current ETA for a resolution is still several hours from now
I understand your frustration, I really do. However, the poster you are replying to raises very valid points. In addition, while I am a programmer, I do know a fair bit of networking and I can say from experience that when dealing with networks, even minor problems can potentially take a while to diagnose and solve. Networking is a very delicate thing, and it is very high-stress-level kind of work.
It may be that there were/are a lack of backups, or a host of many other issues - the point I wish to add is that even if every single piece of hardware and software were running at peak efficiency, with backups, and a highly-trained and competent maintenance team performing regular maintenance, network issues will inevitably arise eventually, and their diagnosis and solving is very rarely quick and easy.
Try to be patient, as much as you can. I know for a fact that everyone currently working on fixing this issue is under a great deal more stress than you are, and they are also working hard to keep calm and patient, it's in a Networker's job description.
Thanks for the clarification. I wrote that before I read that it was a network issue and not a server one. I've worked long enough in corporate america to know that it's such a frustrating, and unthanked job, having experience two very large email migrations in the last year and several outages along the way because of a change in parent company, so I in no way am mad at anyone. I enjoy STO but i don't live by it it's just a nice way to unwind at the end of the week

If I could I know I would jump into the next generation and live there. I would so want to have a life and universe such as star trek tng. Even voyager, hell the whole franchise should be what our world should be like. Instead you have death destruction, and so on and so forth. Why can't mankind be like star trek!
*What you actually mean by this is that you haven't read anything at all before posting. The very first post in this thread contains the relevant information pertaining to this issue. Please, at the very least, read it.

Lol I'm bored it's late... that's when I start to get a little crazy and my neurons fire in odd directions
People like me are so rare that the signifier of the sign/signified is lost to our common syntax
