Ding ding ding. That's what happens when you have a system built by the lowest bidder. I've seen mission-critical systems that weren't coded to handle leap years or leap seconds. They shut it down prior to it hitting the 29th in UTC. Brought it back up on the 1st. I got a Form 4 approval first thing this morning.

Well shit, time to find something new to bitch about 
Going through certifying right now, it’s not pushing though. Crashing every time.
Guns and gadgets…meh. I quit watching him a while ago. Really want to get annoyed? Check out the armed scholar. Most click-baity thumbnails on the tube.
You mean the Armed, overly explaining "Stop with the fucking click bait" Scholar? So let's talk about this...
And Guns and Gadgets? That is dude is like a living, breathing NRA e-mail.
Technically they are but they are only allowing one IP address per hour. Can’t rush the magical mouse controlling the site 
Just certified. Kinda slow but this go around all the hick-ups with the last attempt disappeared. It populated Box 3d. (County/Parish) correctly (blank last time and not a big deal per Ask the Experts) and uploaded my prints (Definately a big deal). Time to wait.
That's a relief the shutdown was only a glitch. Though, I still stand behind my earlier comments.
I would be there as soon as the doors are unlocked. I feel like there is gonna be a throng of folks trying to certify tomorrow!
So I caught this gem in the FAQ,
Q. Are there other factors other than the review process that result in longer processing times for trusts?
Yes. The most common reasons attributable to trust processing delays include:
o Failure to submit a valid trust, e.g., there is only one person named in the trust who is the settlor, trustee, and beneficiary;
So are they basically saying that they are going to be purposely delaying trusts such as the single shot trust where only one person is named on the trust while streamlining individual applications?
Because if so that’s pretty fucked up.

Really. I have been waiting 4 months on an Eforms Form 1, (Trust).
I have an eforms account from doing 3 via that format, and got a form letter type email,today saying the system would be back up and running again today at 4 PM.
No idea what the form two nonsense is about though; I don’t have any cans or lowers in jail right now.

so i was driving home last night and saw i had an email from the atf. so i think it is the notification i have been waiting for.
WRONG. the same email all of you got. fuckers.

If it makes you feel any better, it took 5-6 months on the Form 1 for my MK18 and my PCC. At one point in the process, I had 5 stamps in the queue, three suppressors and the two SBRs. All 5 cleared within two days of each other. Basically it went like this:
- Obsidian 9 - submitted 10/22
- 556 RC2 - submitted 11/22
- 762 RC2 - submitted 12/22
- MK18 Form 1 - submitted 4/23
- PCC Form 1 - submitted 5/23
Had the gun shop submit it this morning, still giving an error code (they are using full auto). Right after I put my login info and pin it pops up error try again. Then it loops with the Captcha login all over again. I might try later today or something.
Except, by sheer coincidence, eforms comes back online after there was an agreement reached on the budget…eForms is back up. So much for the conspiracy theories.
See? conspiracy theory don’t quit.
I was having the same issue yesterday and today. Paid and an error message keeps popping up.
Still down using silencer shop via eforms. Maybe Monday something will change. I’m all in for a two week turn around time.
Normally I have to listen to Alex Jones if I want conspiracy theories with this level of rigor. Thanks for the laughs 
According to the email I just received, eForms is back online.
Sirhr

lol, yeah. Same email they sent out Friday night, exactly.
Is it actually working yet or are you guys still having issues?
That's because it isn't "yours" until it's approved and you do the 4473. It is in your dealers account until then.
ETA: Form 4s will never show up in your eForms account.
