My Heartfelt Thanks and Apologies...An Open Letter To The MHR Community

by John Bena on Apr 24, 2008 10:32 PM MDT in Strictly My Opinion

Today was a trying day, to say the least, for the techies hard at work behind the scenes here at SBNation. It's obvious to everyone that the last 48 hours has been a trying time and I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for hanging in there with us. What I can tell you is this....

The upgrade to MHR 2.0 HAD NOTHING to do with the extended down time. This is NOT what you will come to expect form MileHighReport.com. The platform is as stable as they come and I am damn proud of it, as many of you are.

With the draft right around the corner I want you to feel confident that MileHighReport.com will be YOUR SOURCE for Denver Broncos news and nuggets up to and including all of draft weekend. Tomorrow will be filled with draft primers, getting you ready for the most important Broncos draft in 15-20 years.

Thanks again to EVERYONE who makes this site what it is and what it will continue to be.

Sincerely,

TSG

It's okay...

We understand, and will still be here…it’s what we do best.

Besides, the fallout from the Jake Long signing, Pacman Jones issue, and especially the Jared Allen trade on SBNation blogs everywhere had to be enough for the system to handle. Guys like Zappa coming on and posting twenty million in the wake of those big news items might’ve just overloaded the system. ;-D Just kidding there. Thanks for posting about it.

I've been around a long time and

this is the first time I personally have not been able to access this site. I’ll take 12-14 hours of downtime every couple of years any time. :)

Excellence in site tecnical support

Guru is the kind of upright guy that takes responsibilty and apologizes even when he had nothing to do with the problem. When I couldn’t get on MHR I surfed some other SBN sites, and found a few of them were offline too. The problem seemed to be a SBN issue, NOT an MHR issue. Either way, these things happen and I’m grateful that we have the technical guys at SBN (and our own Guru) who do the hard work and put in the long hours to keep the sites up and to respond if there is an issue.

I’ve found SBN and MHR in particular to have the most EXCELLENT member support and technical support of any service on the internet (not even just related to blogging). Like Zappa says, I’ll take a little downtime in exchange for the best service and technical crew around.
