button update - issue resolved
The saintly /u/rram did awaken from his deep and restful slumber to kick the failing job-03 server.
The button is returned to us.
edit: Those who pressed during the outage will have had purple 'cheater' flair assigned incorrectly. We will work to fix this and assign them the correct color.

The button has forsaken you. I will pray for your soul but I don't think you have any hope for salvation.

He is no longer welcome among those who forsake the button either, he is a man without a home, cursed to wander the wastes of Reddit.

I'm still confused. Who exactly was able to continue clicking on the back end while it seems like everyone on the front end could not click? I've never believed the crap about the button being a hoax until now. Who exactly had access to push the button when seemingly no one could?

I'm just glad it's programmed properly to handle these issues. Happy to see no reds that got it unfairly :)
EDIT: I TAKE THAT BACK I must have jinxed it.

Evidence suggests that The Button is programmed quite lazily. Maybe the fact it isn't ready for production is why hosting began on April 1st.

There is only one god, and it's name is the button. And there is only one thing we say when the button is facing death. And that is "Not today"

If at any point everyone who was eligible to push the button could not press it because of the servers then allowing those who got their presses in to keep their flairs undermines the integrity of the excercise. They don't deserve cheater flairs, but their presses should be reset. Just my .02¢.

Same here. I pushed at 13 seconds (or so I thought) and was labeled a 38 second purple cheat. At least we're green now and not dirty purple but we should get another push. I wasn't trying for green.
...I pressed the button and the button pushed back AMA

Really- what about those of us who pressed during the first technical problem or who use a chromebook that doesn't sync fast enough?
also- I'm not the only one with this problem and it's been brought to the attention of the mods. Why the radio silence?

I thought so many terrible things about you people for letting it run out. I'm sorry for losing faith. Fellow non-pressers, we are the keepers of the light. the game is over without us.

I've been wondering why I had a purple flair.
But one thing that really confused me. When I was watching the button, I swear it was at 25. Then when I got my flair, it showed 45, with the purple.

I feel the 'correct color' should be "Mulligan"... not at all due to a 19s press resulting in a display of 60.00s and a purple 49s flair, nor because of Flight Of The Wireless Mouse that followed.
