Thanks for your reply,
When server has caught up can you contact me and confirm that everyone has been paid.
this episode has done an awful lot of damage to my faucet's reputation. It has already been listed as a scam.
At least when everyone is paid I can declare it safe, and try to build on it from there.

fiveminutefaucet@outlook.comHi Brian,
We are definitely open. I can only apologise again for this downtime and it's not usual to happen. I have discovered what the issue is now.
We added another machine to handle the extra requests but that got overloaded too after a couple of hours. Later on we discovered about 10 faucets that were getting embedded on another site external to Faucetfly (so lets say example.com), and that site had an few iframes embedding the same site url (example.com) and that was causing an infinite loop of embeds. Meaning the site was embedding itself on itself so it was generating exponential amount of unnecessary traffic due to bad coding.
I've now blocked that site from embedding anything from Faucetfly, and also sent a message to the owner to let him know. After placing these blocks we are seeing that the site is performing as usual, without any problems.
Payouts to your faucet users: There might of been some delays like yesterday due to this overload but nothing was lost and users will get paid if they haven't yet. The queue for payouts at the time of writing, for all FaucetFly users is about 160 that are pending payment.
I apologise once again for the problem you experienced and would like to express that we have not taken this lightly. We are and will continue doing our best to keep everything running.
Thanks for your support and notifying us about this.
FaucetFly Team
