I think BB will say it was out of working hours, but I can't understand, we live in 2017, we know that the world is globe and if it is night here, it is day in another place, I can understand 1 thing, if you was off, I think international company like BB should have team or backup team in another place, also, I believe they do have internet for such an announcement, they do have MODs that maybe can send a text message to phone or specific app like Skype or whatever, so someone from BB can post something!
I understand it is happened outside working hours, I understand BB stuff are human not robots and they have life, yet, it is not excuse we are not living in 1970's we are in 21th century, if someone in Germany can't do it, in USA can do, if no one in USA, then Australia and so on, it is not only a Blue Byte, it is Ubisoft too!.
Funny players can log in forum, and maybe break rules, while MODs and BB can't login!
