Think the site might be overloaded, on both my PC and Phone getting " A technical issue has occurred on Web8/10" when trying to sign up.

Sweet thanks.

Edit: Same issue as above.

Don't use the register for a free account link.

Click the login link and click the register link in there and it'll take you to the registration page.

Edit: you might still get an error message when completing the registration, but it will go through and you probably will have to request that the activation email be resent.

Edit2: It seems to be really broken as it won't even allow you to log in to claim a code.

Just tried again, still unavailable

"Our apologies, but Ars registration is temporarily close for required maintenance."

So I need to register so they can spam me and sell my details no thanks.

"All righty, the code giveaway is back on. Right now we're having to limit it to existing Ars accounts only, since many thousands of bots trying to simultaneously register for Ars accounts was killing the site pretty hard. We've got registration temporarily disabled for now, but we'll re-enable it shortly once we have another workaround in place. Who knew that the word "free" could cause so much chaos?"

Just use a throw away email. Saves you the hassle of them spamming people to death. Code came in after a couple of seconds.

himen256 · 26 Apr 2017 at 15:56

I did. Still a very bad practise for company to do that. I had just email them about that and I'm waiting for answer. If that the case I have bases for a lawsuit. As the mail I have used was fresh and no one has it.

Claimed. Thanks.

BriT · 26 Apr 2017 at 16:53

Downloading now, cheers.

Dan_P · 26 Apr 2017 at 16:59

I setup a new email alias on my server to get a key earlier and haven't received any spam yet
Will post back if I do, seems possible that it's a coincidence you got spam?

Digital X · 26 Apr 2017 at 18:35

No spam emails.. yet.

Malevolence · 26 Apr 2017 at 20:28

Not working for me. It lets me enter my email address and click 'send code' but no email ever arrives (and yes, I've checked in the spam folder). Tried it with four different emails addresses and get nothing.
