Quoted:
I got an email from ATF that EForms will be back online next week for Forms 6 and 6a. Then phasing in all forms but 3 and 4 over the next weeks as capacity is added to the system. 3 & 4 will follow on last. Yeah the scary statement was: Ultimately, our largest volume of requests, Form 3 and Form 4, will return to the new and improved eForms, which we expect to accomplish in the short term. What the hell does that mean? 1 month? 1 year? |

Wish they would have said something like "we are still processing all efiled submissions."
I wonder if they aren't processing eform 3s/4s until you are able to submit an eform 3/4. That would anger me. A lot. My biggest worry is that my eform 3 will be stuck and 41P will go into effect, making it impossible for me to file the form 4. |

Agreed. It would have been nice if they would have officially addressed whether they are actively processing existing eform submissions. Although when I first saw the email with the bullet on how to request a refund, I thought they were going to say that all current eform applications were being rejected. The information regarding the additional manpower and increased work hours sounded good...

That refund bullet was the first thing I saw and I immediately got a little hot blooded but after reading the rest I am confident they will be back up soon with the bugs worked out. The additional manpower can't hurt that's for sure. Hopefully they hire a web designer with at least a high school diploma this time around.

I work for a certain leading wholesale club that hired Google to update the whole computer system...was actually not expensive as you would think (10's of millions). Hopefully that would be the industry leader they are talking about

The scary part for me was this:
Priority for form 3 and 4 will be shifted to paper forms. Hopefully prioritizing doesn't mean forgetting about. I have one form three at 7 weeks now (efiled). Would be nice to get a paper or Eform submitted before they change any rules. |

Is the "15 additional staff" 15 additional examiners?
I would assume so since we currently have 15 examiners and they say that they are training the other half. If so, that is a MAJOR breakthrough. And the fact they are being hired immediately? Even better. I wonder where they are getting the funding? |

Doesn't matter what or when it comes back up. With all of the down time of forms patiently just piling up waiting for Efile to be fixed, ARFcom is gonna crash it day one buy trying to submit 19,000 Form X's
I think technically ARFcom crashed the first sytsem, SS was just the messenger trying to slam them all down the piss hole (all at once even lol)
ARFcom finds out Efile is about to be back up:

So is it safe to remove the tin foil hats now? All the conspiracy nonsense here has been amusing to say the least.

I'm surprised forms 3 & 4 are last. Those, along with form 2 & 6 are arguably the most important & since only FFLs and/or SOTs can file them I would think there's less chance of crashing the system vs form 1 which all of us unwashed masses can file and thus bog down their POS website.

IT just depends on when you were on. I already have 3 of them from january that went through without a hitch to the submitted part, but i was doing it at 4am. |

Are you talking about the new examiners? There wasn't 15 hired, just additional ones (I think about 8) hired to bring the total number up to 15. But the letter state "15 additional staff" have been hired. It's not very clear. It could be just people who enter the data. |
