    This is a really neat short video that I found recently. Sure beats the “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” page!

    I sure hope its back up soon! I finally have some funds and I want to get that bonus before midnight!! I haven’t played in a long time and I’m having withdrawals!!! I hope I don’t go postal! LOL

    ABingoLoser Said @ 7:35 pm on November 3rd, 2007

    Well if the site is back up tomorrow, will you extend the 150% bonus for the inconvenience of not being able to play or fund tonight?

    Spider Pig Said @ 7:37 pm on November 3rd, 2007

    No bingo at all tonight?

    What’s up with this happening so often these days??

    I was able to login long enough to make a deposit and then amazingly the site went down, go figure.

    This is really frustrating, if I had known I would deposit and not get to play, I could have used that money at a different place!

    olga Said @ 7:38 pm on November 3rd, 2007

    Have fun out there guys. Hope you don’t get too bad with the withdrawals. LOL

    Spider Pig Said @ 8:25 pm on November 3rd, 2007

    By midnight ALL THE FIXED POT COVERALLS WILL BE OVER! Which is the reason I decided to deposit yet AGAIN.

    This only seems to happen when there are larger paying games lately. I find that a bit odd. It has happened only during the coveralls and Friday night 250.00/2K games and it seems like it happened during SHR roller a week or two ago also.

  17. 17
    ABingoLoser Said @ 8:32 pm on November 3rd, 2007

    Well, I am sure if the techs at Mania could snap their fingers and the server would be fixed they would do it! But they can’t and these things take time. Always remember, good things come to those who wait! By the way, there are fixed pots in Nuthouse, Loony Bin and High Roller between 10am and 4pm. Thats 6 hours of fixed pots. I’m sure the server will be up and running by then and hopefully be working better than ever!

    Great Job you guys!

    Well its 9:29 PM here in Maryland and the site is still down,, thats ok,, thats more money I wont be spendeing,, its nice that this happens once in awhile. Although, apparently people dont see the irony in this, I dont mind it being down.. Some just want to spend, spend, and spend,, Dont get me wrong, I dont mind spending also but not being able to do that right now is good,, I for one will still have money to play with tomorrow unlike others that when the site does come back up will get in there, spend all they have, more than likely wont win any and then deposit more and then spend that. Boy am I glad yall are still down,, thank you for helping me save what I have ,,

    olga Said @ 8:39 pm on November 3rd, 2007

    Hi Guys,

    I just wanted to assure you that we don’t go down on purpose during coveralls - I think you guys have known us for long enough to know that’s not like us. It frustrates us as much as you, believe me. Thank you for all your support! Hope everyone has a great night despite the Bingo withdrawal :)

  20. 20
    Spider Pig Said @ 8:41 pm on November 3rd, 2007

    Well…….I bet you would be frustrated too if you had just deposited and soon as the transaction went through the site went down, I wasn’t able to play even one single game.

    Just FYI, I don’t expect anyone to snap their fingers. I work with computers and networks daily, I know what’s invloved and what’s not.

    Thanks for the schedule but I’m familiar with what games are played and when, thats not the point. I deposited to play the coveralls tonight, not tomorrow.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Mary Grace (AntJude) ) Said @ 8:55 am on November 4th, 2007

    Looks grim again. Can’t understand what the heck they’re doing! When it does finally come up ( in the past 3 times that is ) it plays the same! Maybe there are a few games that play faster, but that too is questionable!

    Wish they would just go back to the way it was several years ago when you could pick your own color dauber, the patterns were a bigger variety, etc…

    This is ridiculous! Am so frustrated; can’t believe it. At least give us something worth waiting for. We never did ( or at least I never did ) see or hear about any free games from the first time it went down.

    Maybe I just missed that segment. LOL

    Hi all,

    I know this is very frustrating on you just as well as it is on the GM’s who are sitting and waiting to log in and play with you all also. They can’t play bingo but they enjoy their end of things and love to chat and entertain you all.
    So hang in there and bear with us a little longer. Estimated time is about 15 minutes or so- so keep your fingers crossed.

    A few things please give office time to answer tickets when site is down so is the back end for tickets and that also effects crediting of BBS from yesterday before we went down. Also the server time did not set back so games will be temporarily running 1 hour ahead till we can get the time adjust with the US change.

    Demonic Dauber Said @ 6:37 am on November 5th, 2007

    hmmmm I may get strung up along with skippy after this post but oh well LOL…first of all…mania has ALWAYS done right by it’s players!!! But you know what guys, stop and think about this….why do they “OWE” us anything? I mean really think about it, they lost thousands of dollars each time the site went down, no bingo for us means no money coming in for them , if the host don’t get paid while sitting and waiting on the site to come back, they too lost out on wages also. So EVERYBODY loses out on something, and as stated above, the players in essence SAVED money.
    YES I know it is frustrating to go without playing. But cmon, are we all such “addicts” that the world ends when we can’t? LOL.
    I feel very confident that all the mania staff is just as frustrated , if not more so than we are. So at the risk of being strung even higher…Take a Chill Pill guys and stop ranting, I had money in here too and wasn’t worried one bit, they have always taken care of us and I can’t imagine they would stop now.
    Those free games are coming i’m sure, but read back in the postings, they want to make sure the site is stable before running them, cause we all know everyone and their cousin will be playing and that will only stress the server, wanna be playing them and have the site crash?
    The internet is not controlable anymore than lots of things in life. Does anyone still watch TV or read? LOL
    Anyhow…cut me down from the tree …hehe…Good Luck Everyone and Happy Bingoing.
    By the way, anyone figure out who I am yet? LOL

    I know there are alot of players who’s life evolves around bingo..but ya know what? life goes on..like Demonic said..try reading a book or watching tv..or better yet..spend time with your families!

    My doggy is doing ok, he is on heart medication that I picked up from Walgreens. We took him to his normal vet this afternoon and he seems to think he ate something that was poisonous for dogs. Anyhow, I take him back for another ECG to check on his heart on Weds to make sure he’s still ok.
    There are so many other foods out there that you would not think was poisonous. So here is a link to a list of poisonous foods. Please check the list and make sure you don’t feed your lovable pups any of these.

    tizjusme Said @ 11:12 pm on November 6th, 2007

    There is no reason to bash this site. Mania is VERY fair!!! As for being a CM in the past for a bingo site I know the good sites from the bad ones.Believe me I can tell you the bad sites that have BOTS or even the ones that have their own CM’s playing and tell them not to tell the players that they are playing and some sites even pay their CM’s in BBS. So I can tell you that Mania does NONE of this.

    And yes I’m sure you will come back with a SMART comment after you read this but really don’t care LOL…..

    I found MANIA after a bingo site I played on shut down cause of the new laws and you know what I am VERY glad I came across MANIA….

    Welp thats my two cents on your comments LOL

    ABingoWinner Said @ 9:49 am on November 7th, 2007

    I remember an old saying my grandma used to say to me, “If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.”

    I understand the frustration of not winning, but it isn’t fair for others to have to see or hear my negativity, so the best thing to do is to keep these things to yourself and not share them in chat.

    Everyone can experience some bad luck from time to time. This is gambling! You are not only taking a chance you are going to win, but you are taking a chance you are going to lose as well.

    We are here to have fun, play bingo, chat, win bbs and cheer each other on and not down or frown upon those who are lucky enough to win a few games.

    So, let’s get back to playing bingo and having fun. And goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood luck to everyone this week :)

    Bingo Mania dosnt only say they are fair but show it in every thing they do for the players. To question its integrity leave me and every other member of mania with a bitter tast. If you really fell and belive this sight is ripping you off then why are you still here playing and excepting bb and loyaty gifts? I have played GM in this sight when the real GM go to there company meetings ans wile I was on duity I was not allowed to play bingo in any room untill I notified office and GM was removed from my name.
    In my oppinion you own Mania and every GM here an appology,if you decide to stay and play.

    tizjusme Said @ 1:53 pm on November 7th, 2007

    LOL…. One way you can tell if there are BOTS is under prebuy you usually can tell this by the same amount of cards being prebought for each game.. OH YEA Mania doesnt have prebuy so hummm Mania has no BOTS LOL…..Or if you catch a site cheating which I have… Also about someone else having macros in chat 2 things there… They either copy and paste it in chat from the GM posting it or (and this has happened to me LOL)you have a macro programmed in your computer and you accidently hit a button on your keyboard that the macro was programmed into and it comes across chat. And for the GM typing in lower case.. come on now… They can easily be talking to someone on live messenger… such as their boss??? Remember caps is like yelling well except for the GM’s in chat or maybe they are yelling at us who knows LMAO!!

    Everyone has a losing streak it happens to the best of us. You lose some and ya win some… But the more cards you play the better chance you have for winning… Remember it only takes that one cards…..

    MANIA IS VERY FAIR AND LOYAL TO THEIR PLAYER…… :)

    Demonic Dauber Said @ 2:37 pm on November 7th, 2007

    okkkkkk I can answer a few of your negative questions as I was a host for a site that tiz and wench used to play at until the owners decided to shut it down based on the law. How come the host is in caps and then might type in lower case?…The host usually record bbs in an excel program while they work in order to expedite the process of you all getting your BBS, otherwise they spend hrs doing it after thier shifts which only slows the process. Or atleast that is what all the host did whee I worked. These things have to be done in lower case except in the case of typing in a players name if they have it all in caps.
    They also could be in IM with someone who might need assistance out of chat.
    As for macros, even though I don’t host anymore, I still have my program and I turn it of now but in the past I have accidentally hit the wrong key and sent a macro in chat at a site I was playing at.
    Those who win often, most likely play onsiderably more cards than others.
    Bottom line is this, you play for fun and if you win great. If you play to pay bills , then my friend you are in a sad state of affairs.
    After 4 years as a host I find this to be true…no matter what you do or “give” some folks. they will still whine and complain.
    NO I DO NOT WORK for mania, however I would like to.
    Play for fun people and try and see the coin from both sides. Mania is one of the few places us American citizens can play and it is about the only fair one period that is left for us. So stop bashing them and wait and see what they do for us.
    They are taking a big risk for us all and how do you show gratitude? By acting like they owe you something because they are having problems.
    If you don’t like it here, then why are you here?
    I don’t win often, but I play here because I like it, trust the site and I have fun.
    Like I said, some people are never happy, I have seen a few players hit a pjp or big game recently and a few days later whine for a win…you just ain’t never happy and never will be.
    Ok ..i’m done for now LOL
    Don’t do it if you don’t enjoy it, life is way to short to be so cranky. Good Luck !!!

    I would just like to say I agree with Demonic Dauber,So many times you see a person win really good amounts and with en a few days they are crying the Blues that they are so desperate for a win. Poor Poor them. I feel sorry for the poor players who hardly ever win and never win Jackpots or any large amounts but keep funding faithfully.Why Not give them a Jackpot once in awhile and show the regular winners what waiting is all about.How would they like to fund for YEARS and not win a decent amount.See how long they would stay and support Mania. They cry when they can’t win every other game. Sorry but I had to vent.It just gets me sick.Give the Little Guy a Break for a change.

    well just in case he does I will tell him that I am really getting to hate this site,always taking from me and not giving anything back,this is not fair to your loyal players that has been here along time so I am going elsewhere to play…..

    but XTC can sure win and never see them in chat,who is this? I bet a houseplayer!!!

    I know how you feel I get tired of funding as well and seeing the same ppl win all of the big pots and I have never won anything big and I have been with mania for many years now my husband keeps telling me that it is so rigged and that they will never let me win anything big but for some reason I keep trying I guess I will wise up one day like alot of other ppl I know who used to play here and have quit.

    I used to like reading these posts and responding. Now I am having second thoughts. I wish Stu would post some rules for this blog. The same rules that apply for chat should be the same rules that apply here. We are all here to play bingo, have fun, win bbs and NOT to down those who are fortunate enough to win a few games. I got lucky this past month…it’s been very fortunate for me, but like alot of you I went a whole year almost with funding thousands and thousands of dollars and nothing. It is called gambling!!! When you deposit money you are taking a chance not only to win but to lose as well. We all take that chance. Every single one of us do. We all deposit, we win some and we lose some. I have played every where on the internet and this place is by most the fairest site out there. Stu and the BingoMania team try to be the fairest they can. They can’t help when some players play a few cards and others play more and win more than the ones that play a few. Those players who play more cards have the odds in their favor. I say WTG Mania…it’s the best place around the net for bingo. Keep up the good work!
