Re: TIMS Down - 2/19/14
How sad.
Not all people can take time off of work to keep checking if the site is back up.
It seems like FIRST is forgetting that the people trying to submit are volunteers. They have spent a lot of their time writing the best essays they can and trying and retrying to upload their essays. I know if I treated my volunteers like that, I wouldn't get others eager to help.
Others have mentioned that people should know that the site goes down during submission times. I'm not sure that everyone would be aware of that. I do think that if it has been such a problem in the past, that FIRST should have also known that and had someone watching out for the situation.
I do agree that deadlines should not be taking lightly, but I think this deserved a different outcome.
Just my .02
