The null reference is the GUI trying to report your user status, but the response from SD is null for the account when reporting that the server is down. Once the SD servers are back up, the error will go away.

I'll need to catch this to give a proper user message.

I see one of the problems is SD is responding with an HTTP 200 OK response while at the same time give the Servers are down error code 3000. It is bypassing some of my checks to report this and handle the null response.

well can you just update EPG123 to not do that? because as you know "computer programs only do what they are told".
just asking.
wait that is SD's fault not yours never mind.
