I am in Europe so it could be something on my side....

Anyone stateside having problems accessing
http://www.hyperspin-fe.com

Maybe they are updating the site for the 2.0 launch?

Maybe?

no problems with the site for me........ however I must vent here, they don't care about you unless you donate , that is my impression...... I have a lighting(ledblinky) issue, that mr arzoo, and I have narrowed down to a HYPERSPIN ISSUE........ so kind mr arzoo directed me to ask the hyperspin forum about the issue........ No help , no smile, not even a "we will look at at your hyperspin log" nothing , send them some money, maybe then the site will return for you, all I can think of............I know I won't give them a dime till they show me they care, I got ripped off by Maximus the same way, I bought thier software, I and I still can't post on thier forum, and they never ever even ONCE offerd me any help........ I gonna go , I am mad....... just had to vent.......

Working fine for me as well...... right now. Have had big problems in the past but none lately. Try a proxy server, always worked for me when I couldn't connect.

For the record I'm in Ontario Canada

I don't have time to visit Hyperspin forums of late, just to busy but your assumptions are pretty wild as far as my previous experience. I've no idea how long ago you wrote your post (did you wait long enough? These guys aren't online every second of every day), but that's been a very helpful forum in the past, never mind BBB, there were quite a few forum helpers who are regulars and have been super helpful.

Remember that real life exists for EVERYONE on the net, not just you. If there's been no response to your post after 3 days or so (no response from anyone), bump the thread in question politely stating "Can anyone assist" with a smiley and give it a bit more time. If that doesn't work, maybe send a PM to Dazz or BBB and ask them if they could have a look at your thread (and post the thread), thanking them for their time.

Post the thread link here and I'll try and have a look. But I'll tell you, the post as written will entice more of a non-response than anything else.

I gonna go , I am mad.......

Don't go away mad... Just GO!!!

I Don't work for you, nor do I get paid to listen to you ---smurfette---. When your able to ask a question, and be polite about it, I'd be glad to help you. You get what you put in. Donation or not, I am the type of person to give the shirt off my back to help anyone. I do so for the love of the hobby and for everything thats been given to me, people of this community and Hyperspin.

The BYOAC forums, and Hyperspin are great resources for help, for sharing, and for building friendships, your donations only help keep the forums alive, they don't promise any type of support. Tho there are alot of people that will gladly give it, if given the time to first read your post ( If they are able ) and have had the same issue, and know how to fix it.

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you over at maximus, I haven't used that program in 3 years, so i can not speak as to what is going on there. But don't assume it's the same situation. I once bought a dell, and so HP must suck too... wait bad comparison.. LOL

Loose the attitude, ask nicely and eventually someone with the knowledge will help you, in their time schedule NOT YOURS.

You need to realize the hobbiest nature of this hobby you're trying to enjoy. Patience and perseverance are your friends. You signed up for this forum at 10:14 AM and emailed me by 11:21 AM the same day asking how long it will take to get approved, telling me how angry you were getting about your Maximus experience and the delay in being able to post on this forum. I didn't take it personally as you weren't really venting at me so much as the situation you were in, but you really need to take a step back and gain some perspective. It will make the difference between your having fun or isolating and ostracizing yourself.

Immediate gratification and this hobby DO NOT go hand in hand. A lot of new people don't understand this. Expecting immediate gratification in this hobby is only going to cause frustration. People really need to understand this.

There is no need for you to leave... Just keep in mind that people have lives outside of their hobbies. You can't expect a reply on anything or everything you ever post. We don't spend every waking hour of every day doing this.

You are more than welcome to re-phrase your question and issues on the HS forums. You don't have to be an asshat to get good support. A simple kind and detailed post is all it takes.

I'm sure you're a good guy but that quote above suggests entitlement. Again, people have a real life and I'm pretty sure following some of the suggestions (always politeness, friendly thread bump, PM) would have gotten a reply in due course.

Hope your issue gets resolved.

Wow. Just WOW. I thought this was going all Jerry Springer then it switched to Oprah.

I think it goes without saying.. but I'm gonna say it anyway for the noobs. If you want an out of the box solution, get a prebuilt arcade machine like the ones at Mameroom, Dream Authentics, Ultracade, etc. Then if something doesn't work, you have someone to call and complain to. If you're building it yourself using software, plans, suggestions, etc. which others have generously given to the community, be grateful, not hateful. A lot of folks contribute to the hobby for the hobby's sake, not because of a paycheck or because you demand it.

GO TEAM HS! I know some awesome things are coming!

chillinwater · « **Reply #17 on:** June 07, 2011, 01:47:59 am »

A point that goes un-noticed is with patience we all learn and win.
Now I've just learned a little somthing about LedBlinky.

Oprah....wheres my car?

Happy days are here...... With a little patience, and time, I fixed my issue with my lighting:) After trying everything under, sun, I did the faithful......... I erased ledblinky and hyperspin completly, re-set them up. And ironicly works fine now..... funny thing is it is ALWAYS the last thing you try:) Sorry again to all of you.... I did learn a little patience through all this....... I also upgraded to version.......1.2 and LOVE the starting with favorites option......... That was just what I was lookin for, to sort my list........ Great Job Hyperspin team....... thanks again to you all, especially Mr Arzoo.....

jtslade · « **Reply #19 on:** June 13, 2011, 02:17:35 pm »

All is well... what did I start this post for again.. Oh well, the HS site is up and running no problems.

How many times has everyone re-done their entire HS/FE install to get it "just right"!

I was an inch away from buying a new mobo, Quad Core Intel Proc... And I said to myself that I just don't have the time to re-do the whole thing with a fresh install of a 64bit OS and all of it.

Must finish school. Must change diapers. Must take care of the wife. Must. Must play Galaga.

It never ends.

I realize the original issue has been resolved, and this discussion has since drifted off topic, however the OP (and others) may find this link useful for such occasions:

But what if I can't get to that site? Would it be down for just me, or everyone? Do you have a website that checks the website that checks the website?
