   i’m in the quizlet group for Ms. Selvin’s french 4 class, but i think the group got unintentionally deleted. don’t know if it was because of the downtime or if someone in the group accidentally hit a wrong button?

2. February 14th, 2008 at 7:35 pm that was weird:
   

   i thought it was just my internet connection or something. 0.o

   I admit, I was pretty terrified that I would have to study for my Latin test the old-fashioned way.

   I love Quizlet.
   I’ve come to depend on it so much.

   thecatwhisperer - I’m checking today’s early morning backup and I’ll see if it has anything for Selvin’s French 4. With everything else running smoothly, I’d be surprised if this got knocked off by problems.

   thanks, and sorry for the trouble

   Yeah…

   I thought it was my internet, too. I was freaking out because I have an English exam coming up, and I was gonna have to take out my flash cards.

   Thanks Andrew! You rock!

   Hey wow I was a little ticked because I needed Quizlet that night. Man, on the night Quizlet goes down, i need it. That sux.

   Just a suggestion, Andrew, do you think you could tell us before Quizlet goes down next time? That way we could prepare for the test/quiz we had the old-fashioned way, with paper note-cards and the like, without having to depend on Quizlet.

   Just a suggestion

   XOXO

   Puella29 - I would love to be able to, yes. When I know Quizlet is going to go down, I will give ample warning. The problem is sometimes it goes down unintentionally, as in this case. And when that happens, it’s impossible to give warning

    Maybe you could make 2 servers

    can u make it so there is a backup that kicks in when quizlet goes down? Is that possible?

14. February 16th, 2008 at 11:29 am Drummer:
    

    want backup

15. February 16th, 2008 at 5:56 pm RJ:
    

    For those of you who believe in having backup servers, its not a good idea. First, of all it cost quite a bit of money to run these servers. And second, if Quizlet had two servers (one normal one and one backup one) the backup one would have to to always be up-to-date in order for it to have all your info in it when the other one goes down–making it not really a backup, but more of a clone. Last, a second server would be to much work for Andrew, he already does enough.

    Thank you for Quizlet Andrew!!

    Hey, Andrew, could you please work even harder to give me stuff for free? I have needs, you know. Thanks.

    Wait, that was sarcasm. What I meant was, “All of my flashcard sets are backed up on my hard drive, just like they should be, so no worries, and thank you for everything.” That’s better!

    agree with Schnozz…
    and plus, I LOVE AJAX.

    hey, my old account was deleted for no apparent reason. It was cabby14. I was wondering if there was anything you could do about that. thanks

    sorry i mean the same name and were only in academic groups so all the students/teachers let her back in.

21. February 23rd, 2008 at 4:40 pm :) Smile!:
    

    Andrew-Could you have some way of notifying us next tim Quizlet goes down. You know so we can bring study materials. The last down-time I was so used to Quizlet being my “study buddy” ,lol, I didn’t even bring home my notecards. When I saw Quizlet was down I had to call word nerd friend and get them from him. Only a thought. Peace and love…

    harsh lang. there buddy

    p.s. did the downtime have anything to do with “spray_paint_bandit” and the crash quizlet threads? someone told me he was using CMD.exe macros to spam in the forums.

26. February 27th, 2008 at 5:04 pm :?:
    

    also: i agree usually its impossible to predict a server fault FTW

    Andrew erased my letter to him. Noone at my school is ever getting on Quizlet, again. BTW- my letter was before the one that says, “AKA E.S.C (my real initials),”. He is a meanie sloveanie bobeanie.
