Quick update on the “Little Rusty” and his successor “Mojo” – today -(Wednesday, December 5th)-a sample of our players have been randomly* selected to help test the new server.

If the test goes well Today, then in the next week or so we hope to wave goodbye to Little Rusty and welcome Mojo as the new Bingomania.com server . At which time we will kick off the celebration with possibly some free games for all of our loyal members.

Thanks again for all your patience and I’ll keep you updated on Mojo’s progress.

*As we only needed a small group of members to test try Mojo, we felt it would be fair to run a script to determine our test group instead of selecting members based on any specific criteria. If your name wasn’t randomly selected, our apologies.

    it’s very unfair that you didn’t give people a little notice about the 2 hours of free games…they were TODAY from 1 - 3 and MOST people have jobs and aren’t home in the middle of the day…this is SO unfair…you should give people more notice AND play on the weekend…i wish i were able to sit at home during the week and play bingo…

    signed,

    disappointed:(

    was able to log in and play without any problems. Played for about and hour and a half.
    even though not allowed CHAT PRIVILEGES, I did participate in the test. no problems.

    I want to thank everyone who helped out with the testing of the games, it was very frustrating but hoepfull the test helped us to collect data to fix the games and get it up and running very soon. We appreciated you sticking around all that time for us and all the input we received.

    Disappointed- this was a random testing of our up and coming new game system that players helped out with, this is not the previously talked about free games, so dont worry they are still in the works.

    Thanks again everyone :)

    I had a really hard time and did not get to play one game. It was frustrating, but that is what a test is all about. Thank you to BM for giving those of us who did try it out 5 bbs. That was really cool and way above and beyond what we should expect. Thank you so much!

    Couldn’t play in either of the test games, because I work through the day. Maybe have them of an evening or on the weekend? Thanks for the invite though!
    Merry Christmas to you all.

    Unfortunately I was not able to play any games, the time the was given conflicted with my work schedule. Can the off games toward the evening hours?

    WHERE IS THE ‘BLOG MONITOR’? ie., SOMEONE HERE AFTER THE SITE GOES DOWN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME!!!!

    It is soooooooooooooooo awful to get ready and then go to the site and not be able to play! We, the players, are at a total loss here when we go to the site, it doesn’t work and ultimately we have absolutely no recourse, and no one to “field” our question….. for instance WHEN WILL THE SITE BE BACK UP?!!!! NO ONE IS OUT THERE TO HELP ANSWER THE BIG QUESTION!

    PLEASE GIVE US SOME WARNING; and then GIVE US at least an approximate TIME THE GAMES WILL RESUME. AND PLEASE AS PROMISED HAVE SOMEONE IN HERE TO TALK TO US!

    Also would be most helpful if you would clean up this blog as in after 90 days, please put previous and irrelavant entries into a remote place or calendar that we can refer to, but that aren’t a continuous and ridiculously long ( over 800 entries now! ) running commentary!

    Sincerely,
    LOUD, FRUSTRATED, SWEATING AND HAVING “BINGO-MANIA” IN OHIO!!!

    posted here also for those that missed it elsewhere..

    Good Morning to you all!! Or should I just Say HELLO as I see we are down and went down sometime early this AM so the morning has not been good so far.

    The word I have gotten is that the technical staff is working on things and trying to get us up and running again, we have no approximate time as to when this will be accomplished.

    In a perfect world it would be nice to know ahead of time when things will not be working up to par, like our computers, our cars, our electricity(snow took out mine temporarily last night even lol), etc. That is just something we cannot predict. We are such a mechanically enhanced society that when something goes wrong our world seems to stop.

    As I get further updates from the techs working on things I’ll keep you informed as best I can. The site being down is just as frustrating on the GM’s and office as we have no control over those type of things occurring.

    Hang in there we are waiting also.

    GM Bill

    In re: the “new and improved” Mojo….

    Don’t like the looks of it…. and if it works like this ole’ Rusty here’s an idea!

    Someone at Bingomania get their I Phone. PREPARE TO FILM LIVE.

    Ok. First give us some dang cards. Now, get a caller and put all 75 balls in the hopper and get it rolling! Put them in front of a lit bingo board. Next, pull the balls, and call them. We will all daub.

    SO… okay… let’s go. DAUBERS UP!!!!
