Thanks for the overwhelming response hunters - it has exceeded our best estimates by a fair margin so far! 😱
It's been amazing firefighting issues at our end and trying to keep things working. We also released BOTTR to thousands of signed up users today which might have also caused issues but things seem to be under control right now!
Would urge everyone to give it a try and keep sharing their feedback 👍
Service update:
As you might have noticed there was widespread outage today across various services on the internet (including Twitter, Spotify etc.) due to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on Dyn. Here's some coverage on the issue: http://mashable.com/2016/10/21/s...
It led to some users facing login issues with their bot. Just wanted to drop a note to apologize if the service disruption affected you in any way and let you know that our service is back to normal now. 🙌
You should be able to login and train your bot normally. Once again sorry for any inconvenience and please let us know if you still face any issues. 😊
Report
It seems the mission of the product changed quite a lot after 4 years.
Apparently, it's now touted as a "virtual girlfriend like adult chatbot" :/
Also the blog is full of typos.
@cpresc Sorry Chris for the inconvenience. Even with our best estimates we didn't expect such high volume of traffic that we're seeing right now and it has really affected our servers. Getting them fixed, please bear with us for a moment :)
@shyamsundark so you don't have to teach basic things about you to your bot. What's the point of a personal bot if it doesn't know about you?! :) Choice is yours if you prefer leaving out any info!
