In the news it says its offline. Is this because there is work going in to bring it back online or is it because the site wi'll be stopping altogether?

the site is asking for donations to keep it going(i have donated 10pounds to cover my use so far and for this season assuming it comes back soon) but it shouldn't do so if the intention is to shut it down.

Can anyone explain the latest situation please?

bbstats seems like it USES bbapi but I don't think it's officially run by BB

so bbstats probably doesn't know if/when bbapi is ever coming back

he asks for donations to cover time spent on development and webhosting I assume, if BBAPI gets shut down it will be on the graces of that gentleman who runs it to return money if appropriate

In case you don't know, BBAPI is a set of "programmer tools" that coders can use to access certain information on the BB servers. The guy who runs BBStats isn't officially affiliated with BB, you see. So he doesn't know any more than you about when it will be fixed.

ok thank you for clarifying
well hopefully when bbapi comes back online we will know either way whether the develop of bbstats has received enough money to justify the time and expenses he has to cover

The guy that runs BBstats is a legend of the game but barely plays anymore, however his site is clearly much loved. I donated $10 and everyone that uses it (all NTs do as far as I know) should do the same. The BBAPTI is offline hopefully for just a few more days as I have important scouting to do as well and don't want to check every single team by hand.
