[UPDATE] Registration is flaky! Registration for Our Colony is currently
unavailable
flaky due to heavy server traffic.
Please be patient.
Thank you!

Just on IRC and somebody on there just said they were able to register without too much trouble.

It seems to be down for me. I tried registering 4 times and the same "The Colony is growing quickly. Please be patient." message came up every time.

I'm not even getting that when I try to register using this pass 96292816, It gives me a directory not allowed or an IE error, none of that colony is growing to quickly page, is it just like that at the moment or am I doing something wrong?

I'm trying all the time, but I either get the "Colony is growing" message or

I've tried a plethora of team names, but apparently all of them are taken! I got into this from a news bit on GameSpot. Perhaps a flood of video gamers are joining the site, taking up names to get neXtBOX pics, then staying dormant? [/quote]

Yeah, I got the same "The Colony is growing quickly. Please be patient" message when trying to register a team. Since that didn't work I tried to join an existing team, which also gave the asme.

I get a Directory listing denied message when I enter the team ID thing... Is this just more of the flakyness or has the "Join a team" thing been changed?

This is so frustrating... I hope they pull their act together. Otherwise people will lose interest.

This game has been like this since it started back when it was only me, Bill, and Chippy. Sadly this site is so unstable... and now that it actually has all these M$ junkies like myself going to it (well, me going back to it) it's driving an already unstable site up the wall.
Eh, at least it's not showing errors in .asp script again.

I think there's a little glitch in the site. When I go to join an existing team, I'll go through the whole registering a new tag and stuff. When I submit, I get the usual "The colony is growing" thing. Even after that, I can go to the lounge page and access the page for the ARGolonists (the team I signed up for) I can even read the message boards. I know the people running this are reading these boards, so I hope that this issue can be rectified.

Yeah, I can do that as well, but I can't post / reply / do much of anything becuase I think my register has not gone through.

yeah... Its seems like my registration goes through somestimes, and I can view the argolonists' page, but then when I try to log back in my account does not exist.... this seems kind of unprofession for M$.... iheartbees was waaaay more stable than this.... I wonder if this is all some sort of delayed april fools joke...
