My Predictions

Will the popular website Hubdub's servers crash at least once before March 1st?

Settled as No

According to Hubdub Chris (who would know), the servers have been "stable as a rock" during this timeframe. I've assumed the question creator meant 2008.

Background:

As Hubdub becomes more popular and traffic increases, will the website experience a service outage?


Settlement details: Hubdub system administrators will be able to identify a period of total non-availability of the website for a period exceeding 1 hour

Since all the people reading this are already members of the website, is it really necessary to remind us it is popular?

March 1st of which year? Question sounds like March 1st 2008, but the question is set to run until March 1st 2009.... What is meant here?

Was that a server crash just moments ago?

Pretty sure the server was down starting around 0800 GMT on 17 Feb

here is a copy of the source of the html doc I rcv'd at 10:25pm PST:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

If that isn't proof something is wrong at the server, nothing is.

Note on #5, if this is the 'stub' used when the server is down or in a transitional mode, than that should satisfy this settlement request.
