I am so sick of seeing this in my browser:
Entrecard application server failed
The server that does the complicated work has not responded in time, this could be due to load, due to an upgrade happening, or something else even weirder. An alert should have been triggered to the admins so they’re no doubt trying to deal with it right now, we recommend trying again in 10 minutes.

What’s going on? Nary a clue from the big guys. ?? It’s going on the fourth day. I am still getting ad notifications via email– I just can’t accept the ads because the EC site won’t load!
My blogs seems to be sluggish, too. Is the Entrecard widget hangup slowing the loading down? Not a clue.
**UPDATE**
I got this is my email about 5pm:
Greetings, faithful Entrecard members.
We are experiencing a slowdown as a result of regularly increasing load. In other words we’re becoming more popular and it’s causing problems :)
Those who have been with us the longest are aware that these things happen when Entrecard hits milestones or users and widgets, etc. and we always scramble to fix it as fast as possible. Most importantly, we always do what is necessary to get the site back to its typical fast self.
So we will be having a performance-related outage 7 hours from the time of this email (on the hour) which will last for 2 hours max. We have also taken some temporary measures, in the hopes that things will be better for the next 7 hours.
So, yay! I got my drops in and I hope you all can, too.

I gave up at the beginning of the week - the widget was slowing down my site so much that it wasn’t loading. I tried to go to the EC blog - but that won’t load either!

I’m about to give up on Entrecard. This has been going on for days. They don’t let their users know what’s going on. And now, it’s causing our pages to load slow. Ugh.

Same here, I thought it was my internet at first. You’d think they’d put a notice up on the blog!

Hi,
I am glad it is just not me. Why don’t they fix it. You would think they would email us or something.!!! Very frustrating.
Take Care,
Janet :)

It would have been nice if they had emailed us about a problem. I waited forever for sites to load. Tonight is the first time it loads blogs without waiting a long time.

I got an email from them today, saying that there is a problem and it’s about to be fixed tonight. They’ve just grown to fast for their system.

My site is loading sloooowww too! I’ve almost considered taking my card off for a few days until they get this sorted out…

I use firefox and for some strange reason even If I cannot access Entrecard I can still do my drops from my bookmarks.

It’s been a frustrating few days with EC, but I’m hoping it’s fixed now!

Hi.
Finally, Entrecard is working for me.
I have to rush so I can return today and yesterday´s drops. Cheers.

It’s been like that since yesterday. I was worried, I thought the problem was in my end since I just reintalled Windows in my pc. But was glad to have read other comments about it. Hope they’ll fix it ASAP. Have a nice day!

And here we go again. One day down, then up, then down again. When will it end?
Monday, 13. October 2008
Glad you see you have your lady bug back on your flower! Entrecard very frustrating when not working properly, I just give up and try later and just do what I can without it.

I totally agree that it was so annoying. I couldn’t drop at all on Friday. I hope they don’t have this issue again for awhile. I didn’t have any problems at all last night dropping.
