What's Happening With Show Score?

Anyone know what's happening with the Show Score site? No user reviews are showing for any new production, going back at least to the start of Every Brilliant Thing previews; instead, for more than a month they've been showing the message "New reviews are being saved, but they are not currently displaying on this page. We are upgrading our system, so while your feedback is secure, it won't appear publicly until our updates are complete." Apart from this board (for which I increasingly have to search the threads for actual show feedback), Show Score has been one of my more reliable go-to sources when deciding what to include on my periodic NY trips, particularly for shows in previews. .

Show Score seemed to have lost its touch over the last season or two. 

Broadway Scorecard has recently emerged as a much better, comprehensive, Rotten Tomatoes-type source for theatre of all kinds.

Broadway Scorecard is great for critic reviews, but doesn't cover anything in previews. That's where Show Score was particularly useful.

It does at least give you a taste of the overall audience response throughout previews, extracted from the Mezzanine and Theatr apps.

But yes, the lengthy individual critiques during previews was where Show Score once thrived.

People tend to post short but honest reviews on the Theatr app.
