I'm pretty sure Steemit is back, but I wish the powers that be would communicate with us better.

I think Steemit is running at its usual speed, and seems to be operating smoothly at the moment, but that still doesn't excuse the masterminds over there at Steemit headquarters for not communicating with us during such bad times.

Hell, I just saw the charts from yesterday, and you could clearly see the issues we were having over the past few days embedded right into the charts, because all the numbers were definitely down across the board.

What say you guys and gals, should they put out a statement, and then pin it to the front page whenever they are experiencing any issues?

I think this would be ideal, and it would at least give me some peace of mind, so that I know, that they know, that it's an issue, and that they are in the process of resolving it.

I'm not asking for much... am I folks?

Hey @tolkatore how are you doing? I was away from Steemit for a few days so I think I missed some action or inaction from the development team 😉

I think it would be professional thing to do to communicate to your users any issues. So yes, they should certainly post updates for us.

This is all I ask, and nothing more, because it really sucks when you feel like the only one something bad is happening to, when in reality... everyone is suffering because the playground we are playing in is fucking up.

Oh, and you're lucky you missed these last few days... it was horrible!

Communication and transparency always help. It is amazing though how many organizations just try to sweep things under the rug and avoid facing issues upfront.
Maybe the top brass at Steemit is no different.
Yesterday was just completely impossible for me to do anything on the platform. I am curious what was the cause of all this. I think I saw a post where someone said it was a DDOS attack.
By whom? And why?

And Hi Lucy, welcome back 

Thank you @appone :)
Good to be back!

All questions I would like to know as well, but unfortunately... I think they'll just leave us guessing as to what it was exactly.

I’ve been searching google and steemit for any report, but came out empty.

That's because they don't say anything, which is just bullshit!

It really isn't too much to ask! lol, I feel like it was a good timing for a steem holiday (I see a lot of people are saying it was dreadful, I hope the dev team learn from this and try to better communicate next time!)

I hope so too, and let's keep our fingers crossed.

You are right that transparent communication is the way to go especially when you have a huge number of people using the service. Yesterday it was frustrating for the slow responses of the whole Steemit ecosystem.

That's all we need, we're not asking for much... and a little communication can go a long way!

Absolutely! It is not asking much, to get information about downtimes or technical issues. In fact, @ned promised some weeks ago, that they will do better communication in the future. A week after that, we got an (cryptic) update and since then, they have to be falling back into the old habit of keeping quiet. That sucks!

Ugh, why is it so hard. I mean they could literally passed the information on to a dedicated witness to blog about it, just so we know what the hell is going on.

Yeah steemit it back to original. Man it was so frustrating. And thank the maintenance workers of steemit we are back.

There are some issues with it, something it hangs, they need to resolve it, this time its working good

Yep, it's working now... and has been for the last 3 months, so it ain't all bad.

There are people on steemit who work day and night for its betterment and smooth working, hope in future such issues are reduced.

As do I my friend... as do I.

We are addictive to steemit now, and when its down we feel something creepy from inside 🙄

Ha ha, well at least I know I'm not the only one. 😉

Well the beauty of steemit is its decentralized nature. Steemit.com isnt the only means through which you can log into steemit. We have other alternatives like mspsteem.com and steemit stage.com which has exactly the same interface as steemit.com for this who prefer this interface and we also have the likes of busy.org. I think I with all these and more that I might not even k ow of, they would expect you to use any if them whenever steemit.com experiences any glitch and with that, they wouldn't need to apologise or out out any statement to that effect.

Yeah, I know, but Steemit is my favorite.

"What say you guys and gals, should they put out a statement, and then pin it to the front page whenever they are experiencing any issues?.. @tolkatore ..my answer would be a big yess... Although some issues are resolved but there are various other matters also.. lets resteem this post so it may reach to max. Users.... Thankyou to you also...

Hey thanks bud, and I appreciate the support.

Mention not buddy... It is for everyone's betterment.. i am thankful to you,atleast this thing striked in your mind....helful post.

That will work. If you're having problems give a statement about that so that it won't scare newcomers away

Exactly, because if I first signed up, and it was acting the way it was yesterday, I'd be packing my bags!

Most of us would. And as a result miss a great opportunity. Hopefully this'll all get sorted soon

I think everything is running smoothly as of right now, and to be fair, it has been really good for the past 3 months, so I guess we shouldn't complain too much. Everything has issues, especially in the beginning.

I guess you're right..

I was facing problems since last two days. Upvotes were crashing. Posting of Comments were giving an error. It seems that it is working all fine now. I hope it will continue to work flawlessly.

Yes it is working just fine right now, and I hope she stays this way too!

The punctuality of organising team would be tested by this. If they pass the test by telling the truth than can only become a greater force in future.
It was simply waste of time trying to load pages these days on steemit. It took ages or never appeared but now it seems to be working smoothly.

Yeah.. Back to the normal... Was frustrating...

Back to normal is good, now let's hope she stays this way.

That is the point man...

Yes, i am agree with you...Hope that steemit will back soon....@tolkatore..
Steemit has big opportunity to came back..

It's back now, so everything should be good to go... hopefully for you too anyway.

I saw some post of @exyle saying steemit was slow for some time.
I was out of action for few days, so I didnt knew about it.
Your question is valid, we as users should at least have some idea what went wrong. Basic curiosity :)
