Well, yesterday there was a problem with Verizon in my neck of the woods.....finally was fixed around 6 P.M.....got on line and all went smoothly, even in the early hours while i was trying to do mirror mirror and the like.
Imagine my surprise when today Webkinz was not working!
Now this is interesting information. How long were you down for ??
Somebody said way up thread that today is unplug day. I saw it on the news too that they are asking everyone to unplug from all electronics and spend time with family and friends.
I remember when webkinz shut down and told everybody to go out and play in the sun for some silly go out and play day. Do you suppose they have unplugged us? If so, I am livid. Well I am livid anyway but that would be the icing on the cake for me. This is not funny Ganz. Not funny at all.
Perhaps they are referencing April 22 Earth Day?
I have been cooking and baking all day for family because I am taking DS to visit colleges starting tomorrow for the entire week. I was thinking a serious act of nature with power outage, etc . . . actually feeling bad for Ganz. Owning my own business, I have experienced this and there is nothing that can be done when for example, a tornado touches down in your own 'back yard' Customers are truly empathetic, and life and business build back up
HOWEVER, when I read this thread and see someone nicely sharing with us Ganz' Webkinz FB page with pets at their computer, and not one word about what has transpired, or even if their employees are okay, well guess what?! I am a tad irked . . .
A simple update Ganz - that's all. 3 seconds to tweet or FB or . . .to say hey, we're all okay, your accounts are okay, we had a sippy cup fall on one of our transformers?! geesh
It apparently went down early in the morning, and as I aid, it came back on around 6 P.M.
I live fairly near the Webkinz locale...and my IP is Verizon.

huh? its not 6 here
can someone please explain why it wont work for me?
I really, really hope this isn't another one of those hardware problems where Ganz is waiting for someone from Verizon to drive a replacement part to Ganz HQ. The last time that happened, it took the better part of a day for that precious equipment to arrive and who knows to what extent anyone is working on the weekend ?? But at least they took the time to make a constructive tweet about it unlike this time.
In one word ~ unacceptable.

Hi 50ish !! No the day that this member is referring to (about WW being "unplugged" to encourage peope to go out and play) was the Worldwide Day of Play event that took place on September 24, 2011 and WW was "unplugged" for three hours from 1 PM until 4 PM.
Here is the article Justin posted on January 10, 2012 when this happened to us the last time. I'll bet my Love Puppy this is what is happening again. Here is a direct link to the article
