PCB Site Conked out

Its quite normal to see sites go down for maintenance once in a while, such incidents rarely need a post, but today when I visited PCBoard.com.pk the official site of the Pakistan Cricket Board I was more amused by the lame excuse displayed on the website. I quote

We are very sorry but pcboard.com.pk, the-cricket-site.com and cricketarchive.com, and our other hosted sites are down for emergency maintenance This is the first time in our history we have had this sort of problem, normal service will be resumed before 12 noon (GMT) on January 7th

……A small screen capture for our amusement

PC Board

First time in our history Yeah – My ass

Update (12:20GMT): Whosoever is hosting their site is in deep shit as even 20 mintues after the promised deadline at precisely 12:20pm GMT the site is still not responding.

    Dr. Sahib, the reality is that we live in Pakistan, no matter what we want and how hard we strive the situations does not seem to change. The good thing is that now after a long time Pakistani’s a comming out and protesting for their rights, people like you and others on the internet are showing the true picture – unless we as a nation come out together and work for the betterment of the nation we can not achieve much. The government sites going offline for long periods is normal what do you expect from a government that pays companies and other webpages to advertise and link to their leader’s website.

    Desitute rebel – I really appreciate your comments – these comments are well thought out and true to my exact sentiments – I do not want to paint a dirty picture of Pakistan as I truely believe in Pakistan. But sometimes I feel the truth HAS TO BE TOLD. The burecracy tries so hard to hide the facts – it is then independent journalist like us all who do their small part to reveal the truth.

    This PCB website mixup is not a smudge on Pakistan but more so just a humours glitch I saw today.
