Ok, extended downtime is one thing, not thrilled with it but it happens, but to intentionally take the forums down is unprofessional and unbefitting of a multi million (or is it billion) dollar company. And don’t tell me they didn’t do it intentionally, this happens every time there is extended downtime. You’re not some rinky-dink mom and pop business bliz, you’re a large successful corporation how does taking the company’s internet presence down help in any way? Do you think that if people can’t read complaints on a forum they won’t complain themselves? Your servers are down all day, people are going to be pissed, suck it up and let them vent on the forums. Do you even realize how bad it looks for a company your size to have a website unavailable? Seriously, wtf
Incidentally, If site/forum downtime is actually an unplanned complication brought about by an increase in traffic then upgrade your servers lol …it’s not like they don’t have the money. Microsoft and Google’s web presence attracts the same amount if not more traffic than the wow site and I’ve never seen either one down for more than a minute or two.
