It might be my fault. This morning as I was visiting neighbors, I tapped the box with the gnome/elf in it and turned him loose. No telling what mischief he's gotten into...
I'm so sorry...
Okay, so what is it that people normally do during the day again. Gardening? Driving fast and aimlessly so the nation looks busy. Work? (****). Shopping. 2nd Breakfast. Free clinic. Texting to tell someone you're at Target. Coffee. Bathroom. Uhhhhhh, check servers.
Amazon’s web hosting services are among the most widely used out there, which means that when Amazon’s servers goes down, a lot of things go down with it. That appears to be happening today, with Amazon reporting “high error rates” in one region of its S3 web services, and number of services going offline because of it.
Trello, Quora, IFTTT, and Splitwise all appear to be offline; GroupMe seems to be unable to load assets (The Verge’s own image system, which relies on Amazon, is also down); and Alexa is struggling to stay online, too. Nest’s app was also unable to connect to thermostats and other devices for a period of time.
Isitdownrightnow.com also appears to be down as a result of the outage.
Amazon has suffered brief outages before that have knocked offline services including Instagram, Vine, and IMDB. There don’t appear to be any huge names impacted by this outage so far, but as always, its effects are widespread due to just how many services — especially smaller ones — rely on Amazon.
There’s no estimate on when service will be restored, but Amazon says it is “actively working on remediating the issue.”

@DaveF-2016 I left in '01, and have no desire to come back. Lol. My family are still there though. Right next to the casino.
I'm so sorry...
by no later than half an hour
Yes, I know the place, must've cost a fortune on the Friday chippy tea at a certain local fish and chip establishment....
(except the last part)
Just to confirm, the servers are down and EA is aware and investigating. Please stay tuned for future updates on the matter.
Thank you for your patience and understanding and sorry for any inconvenience, the teams are working as fast as possible to bring them back online.

Thanks for the update!
Thank you! This means I don't have to start a thread about how are we to fix the problem.
