Our Apology

Posted by Stuart on October 19th, 2007 4:20 PM | Permalink

Our apology if you’ve tried to access BingoMania.co.uk today - we’re currently experiencing some downtime and are working hard to make the site available to you in the shortest time possible.

Again we’re very sorry for the inconvenience.

We know how frustrating this is to you and we plan to make it up to you as soon as we’re back up with at least four (4) hours of free games.

Fortunately our blog is up and running and we will be posting updates for you here.

Thank you for your patience and we look forward to making it up to you.

Pickle Factory
Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed there for a number of years when he came home one day to confess to his wife that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an urge to stick his winky into the pickle slicer. His wife suggested that he should see a se x therapist to talk about it, but Bill said he would be too embarrassed. He vowed to overcome the compulsion on his own.

One day a few weeks later, Bill came home. His wife could see at once that something was seriously wrong. “What’s wrong, Bill?” she asked. “Do you remember that I told you how I had this tremendous urge to put my winky into the pickle slicer?” “Oh, Bill, you didn’t.” “Yes, I did.” “My God, Bill, what happened?” “I got fired.” “No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?” “Oh… she got fired too.”

On October 19th, 2007 at 5:35 pm granof3 said :

I’ve felt sick all day - was it a premonition that my fave site was going to be down or was my body having sympathy pains for rusty?

Maybe rusty should have gone on a pre-retirement course to wind down gently instead of receiving the shock news that seems to have resulted in downtime?

Hope my grandson is here soon as these sums are getting more difficult 7 + 8 lol.

There was an old server called Rusty
Who choked on Poppy’s jam crusty
His fans are all here
To give him a cheer
We don’t want to see him all dusty!

So come on you tech guys
Wipe the tears from our eyes
Cos we’re all feeling blue
And we’re relying on you -
Our future happiness in your hands now lies!

Hugs xx

hey when you are on this site pretty much all day and most of the night every day, you tend to get used to it being a certain way.
This is extreme by all standards for being down.
Never known a site not be able to sort it by now.
I know we keep being told we are getting new servers but come on, really think it is a priority now!!!
Thank god it was not a party night tonight in the end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!10

This is no longer even slightly amusing, I have just had to sign up with another bingo site as I am an addict and cannot wait.

Well yes site is down again but we knew this might happen as Rust’y retiremnent becomes imminent. I also have tried other sited in last few months with problems we been having on mania but I’m sorry guys compared to mania I have not been impressed. For me it’s Manai or nothing now. I am much happier with GM’s who actually talk to me when i come in chat and friendly roomies who dont ignore me. I prefer my unlimited BB’s here and come on every time theres been problems we have ben kept informed and rewared for our patience and loyalty. Long live Mania I lubs u xxxxx

Hi
I’ll try again. Virgin to all this
Here Here Musky i agree 100%
From someone who has played on most sites, i have to say that this is the one for me. I wouldnt play anywhere else. Yes so they have problems, who doesn’t.
As loyal players to the site, we should be supporting them not criticising them.

I think that peeps, myself included, are just hacked off that site has bin down for this long, and lets face it it ent gonna be up and running again tonite is it coz the techies would have gone home by now, and who could blame them to be honest.

I totally agree with gumps i think it was who said no free bingo, this is terrible incompetence on someones part . if you do free bingo some wont be able to play because of work and familey commitments me for one and everyone will jump on the site and crash it again then where will be ( oh i know back where we are now ).
So i reccomend you reimburse us in another way as free bingo isnt the answer to it, i’m not addicted to it like some are but it is very annoying that you cant play maybe the answer is to play on another site.

Anyway rant over for now see you sometime in the room

Good Grief, I love all the technical experts out there, saying it should be up by then!! As the wife of a computer engineer, I can tell you, it aint always a simple fix, especially when something major fails (I lost my website for days when the server failed resulting in a new hdd being needed). If you are all so desperate to play bingo, then you really need to give your head a shake!!

Got up, it is 9.35 here in France and what do i see NOOOO BLOOMIN BINGO yet again??????????
As the Mcenroe would say ‘you can’t be serious’????
OK joking aside, and i do try to appreciate that you are doing your best - but seriously it isn’t good enough.
Today is extra deposit day, yesterday was fixed pots in the day and night - no bingo again.
I cannot even withdrawal what is left in my account as that part is not running either, so cannot use it for another.
Finesse I am sorry that you and a few others incl Nikhart cannot now play this weekend, I think this is going to affect Cazz too.
Grumps I completely agree with you - there is no point offering free games but for 2 reasons - firstly it will more than likely make the site crash again BUT also the last time there were free games a few peeps never won, but this has affected ALL peeps so ALL need to be able to gain something back if that is what Mania are going to do.
OK rant nearly over - got to go kick the cat now ‘cos i’m bored, maybe the dog too, and IF I have to resort to housework on a Saturday we got a BIG problem STU.

oh thats it now, i no how to do this now so i not gonna shut up lol, instead of a free roll which usually causes probs ,why not give all players (that play regulary) free bbs, after all it does seem unfair that peeps that havent played for yonks only come to play the free games. maybe that seems a bit unfair but thats wot i think. and ss about spellin to early lol

On October 20th, 2007 at 8:55 am Finesse said :

Right to calm me down this morning im just thinking about the pleasure i had last night thanks to Mania, cause if Mania was up and running last night I would have been here, but hence they was not, so I will actually admit I went elsewhere and played bingo, now not only did I play bingo but they also had this party called house warming party and even got a phone call from 2 of the chat moderater’s, I have never seen any site do this, this was out of this world, they called me from another peeps home where they were.

Now this site is totally unlike Mania as they dont do loyalty bonus, they dont do deposit bonus, they dont have chat games all day, butttttt when (and which is not often) they have rundown maintainance if they quote 4 hours the site will be down it is 4 hours.

My only sadness here is the constant crashing, which i dont mind but pratically a whole day well that is out of this world. Stuart I dont understand why rusty has not been put to retirement, you knew he was pass his sell by date, this has been going on for months now, plzzzzzzz sort this mess out once and for all, like I say Mania is always my number 1 and I hope it will remain my number 1.

IM BEGINNING TO THINK THE SITE HAS CLOSED PERMANENTLY AND WE ARE JUST BEING TOLD THAT ITS CRASHED ! I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

IN ANY EVENT IT CERTAINLY DOESNT LOOK LIKE WE ARE GONNA BE PLAYIN BINGO ON ERE TODAY EITHER. LAST NITE I PLAYED ELSEWHERE AND HATED EVERY MOMENT, AND I KEPT CHECKING BACK ON ERE EVERY 10 MINS OR SO TO SEE IF SITE WAS BACK UP, BUT TODAY I SHANT CHECK BACK SO OFTEN COZ THIS NOT LOOKING GOOD GUYS, TROUBLE IS AFTER PLAYIN ELSEWHERE LAST NITE AND HATING IT I HAVE DECIDED I WOULD RATHER NOT PLAY ANYWHERE AT ALL IF I CANT PLAY ON ERE, SO MY MESSAGE TO STU IS THIS:

STU, U HAVE MADE THIS THE BEST SITE OUT THERE WHICH IS WHY U KNOW THAT WE WONT GO ELSEWHERE TO PLAY AND ANY THREATS OF US FINDING ELSEWHERE ARE JUST US PLAYERS LETTING OFF STEAM, BUT IT SEEMS THAT BECAUSE U KNOW WE WONT GO ELSEWHERE U HAVE BECOME COMPLACENT WITH REGARDS TO THE SITE BEING DOWN THIS LONG !

STU, I APOLOGISE IF I APPEAR RUDE, I CERTAINLY DONT MEAN TO BE, BUT ARE U REALLY DOING ALL U CAN TO FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS, AND IF U ARE, DO U NOT THINK WE DESERVE AN UPDATE FROM U PERSONALLY ????

SO DO U NOT THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO CREDIT OUR ACCOUNTS WITH SOME FREE BBS, AND NO OFFENCE TO ANYBODY BUT PERHAPS THAT WOULD BEST BE KEPT TO THE PEEPS THAT HAVE PLAYED AND DEPOSITED IN THE LAST 30 DAYS, THAT WAY IT WOULD INCLUDE JUST THE REGULARS, WHO LETS FACE IT, ARE THE PEEPS THAT HAVE BEEN MOST AFFECTED BY THIS TOTAL SHUTDOWN, COZ IF U DO A FREE ROLL SESSION U GET ALL THE PEEPS COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK THAT LOG ON JUST FOR THE FREE GAMES, AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM FOR US REGULARS COZ IT CAUSES OLD RUSTY TO GO INTO MELTDOWN AND WE LOSE OUR SITE ONCE AGAIN.

AS I SAID, NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE, BUT U HAVE TO AGREE THAT THIS MAKES SENSE
