ICC Website is offline

I think it's been down since saturday. I tried to use the free resoures and the message said the would be back by sunday.

I guess there site was more messed up than they knew.
 
So is their phone system--wonder if they have the same Northrup Grumman IT service that Virginia uses with all the state's computers going down for several days (more or less depending on department) last month. No driver's licenses at DMV, tax department down etc.
 
They posted a facebook comment on the website being down:

"International Code Council The Code Council is working to create a stronger website, and we apologize for this inconvenience. During this time, our staff will be unable to respond to email messages. Any deadlines for submittals or for other Code Council business which were scheduled during this temporary shut down will be postponed by the number of days the system is inaccessible.

To place an order for any ICC products during this maintenance period, please call our ICC Store at 1-800-786-4452."
 
It was mentioned near the conclusion of last week's meeting that they may make a few changes / delete some features, etc. to "demonstrate goodwill". Do you suppose.....??
 
Shouldn't take too long to delete the "Communities of Interest." If they delete one post per minute should take about....oh five minutes or so. Must be something else.
 
Wow, talk about par for the course. There is absolutely no reason in this day and age that you should ever be offline. My $10/mo hosting account offers 99.9% uptime. There is *definitely* no reason email should be inaccessible.

Simply unbelievable. I would love to hear the reason that was given. I would also like to know who as ICC thought it was acceptable.
 
When you have a system that was as screwed up as the ICC repairing things don't happen overnight. You have to admit..things were/are pretty screwed up!
 
Yes, I had to log in. Perhaps those ICC persons wishing to read our messages must now create an account?

As far as ICC being screwed up, I still don't see why it has to be offline-- at least not a "planned" downtime. It's not acceptable practice.

There are many ways to avoid it, I won't go into the boring details.
 
"""Yes, I had to log in"""

slowly Socialism is takling over the site, soon we will have to share our thoughts and not keep them to ourselves!!!

I too had to log in to read / post in the topics! What's

the deal?



FWIW, I think The Cow is one very sick bovine! :eek:

We have more guests than members viewing the forum. To entice the guests to join and get accurate numbers for this website, logging in is currently required to view the actual topic. This has already created more registrations just today.

This is what works for this site in order for it to grow. You can view the forum, you can view the topics and thread titles but cannot get into the threads without logging in. Now the ICC people who have been watching this site will have to create a name a log in if they want to see what we are saying. I hope that is alright with everyone.

You have the option to log in and be "invisible" if you want. No one can see that you are logged on but me.
 
I stay logged in. I think Jeff may have made some changes, now when someone new signs up, they have to be approved before they can post. RJJ cited security issues for the site, maybe the forced login is part of it. Dunno.......

EDIT: I see Jeff cleared the air while I was posting. FWIW, I don't have a problem with it at all.
 
I still say that membership should include a few coins for the maintenance and start-up of this BB. Thank you Jeff. I stay logged in while I'm on and view the site several times a day, as time permits. Logging in is cheaper than buying a code book! WWWWWWWWWWWWWaaayyyyy cheaper! :-)
 
I have no issue with logging in. It would seem to be the better choice of the ones you have to get even a little bit of security and accurate numbers.
