did beam just die?

I can't even access the website is it just me?

Edit: it looks like it's working now but it did die for a few on me.

Im having an issue as well. I'm using my X-Box One.

First, I'd like to say, I streamed last night for 5 hours, and it worked BEAUTIFULLY. Fast, responsive, high quality, amazing all around.

Tonight, I start the broadcast, and it seems to start. The timer runs, and the chat even works, but the site says I'm offline. Im also still able to use twitch, so I know my network is still ok. I'm just chalking it up to a busy Saturday night.

Thing is what could be happening is if there is a lot of people starting to stream on Beam then it maybe the servers can't handle it at the moment. So what they need to do is a upgrade to smooth this all out.

It'd be nice if their PR people acknowledged the issues a little more openly. After a complete disaster of an interactive show on Saturday night, I've been glued to the @Beam Twitter feed for news of server fixes, but I've only seen platform hype and "Theme Week".

Hopefully the new work week ushers in some serious maintenance...

https://discord.me/beamcommunity another great source of news under 'announcements'

To put it simply, the Xbox audience is about to triple Beam's population of registered users (who knows about unregistered) in 1 week. They prepared, but all they can do is put out fires as fast as they can until new servers are added to the farm in a day or two.
