I'm getting it too, in both Safari and Firefox.

Yup, I can confirm this. But also notice that the videos on the main page have been updated, or the images at least. I hope its the divisions because it says its a database error.

If you look at the FIRST Championship link through the "what events and teams are in my area?" for FRC in Georgia, you get this error message:

I suspect the database update process has shutdown access to the underprivileged: us!

Re: Is USFIRST.org dead, or are the releasing the divisions!!!!!!!!!
 

Sorry all, that was my attempt at humor...


the site being down has nothing to do with the divisions

Re: Is USFIRST.org dead, or are the releasing the divisions!!!!!!!!!
 

It's 2 am EST. Does anyone seriously think that FIRST didn't go home at 5 pm?

Re: Is USFIRST.org dead, or are the releasing the divisions!!!!!!!!!
 

Hmmm the site seems to be working for me now... No divisions yet though...

Re: Is USFIRST.org dead, or are the releasing the divisions!!!!!!!!!
 

This just proves FIRST outsources to China or India :p

Re: Is USFIRST.org dead, or are the releasing the divisions!!!!!!!!!
 

I figured I'd be up anyway. Still finishing my sophomore term paper:(

Re: Is USFIRST.org dead, or are the releasing the divisions!!!!!!!!!
 

Maybe this is what they do to torment the eastern teams... kind of like holding kickoff at seven AM on a Saturday for the western teams.

Yeah, yeah... I know Hawaii has it worse.
