2021: General Discussion
How many people are booking their slots right now for the whole website to crash. Surely no more than 5k. Its pathetic not only does it get pushed by 2 days but now they're having problems again. Useless, shambolic, awful, incompetent merlinMainly to do with the severe amount of traffic trying to jump on it at once, it's the same for the others and the MAP website also.

All it needs is a rapid surge in numbers to cause a website to wobble. I'm no web developer, but it's a fairly common sense-driven conception.

How can the website still be down after 10-15 minutes. God sake merlin
Because every single man and their dog are still repeatedly smashing the website in an attempt to book it. Much like game console retailers crashed when the PS5 and XBSX were released. Much like Brewdog crashed when they were giving away free Lost Lagers. Their entire IT department will be trying to stay on top of it, but that still won't resolve the constant smashing of traffic.
