ALL FORUMS **EXCEPT ST JUDES** WILL BE OFFLINE TONIGHT @ 9PM

... and will be back online shortly after 10pm.

ONLY THE ST JUDES FORUMS WILL REMAIN ONLINE!

Bidding 'n' sniping will still continue!!!

This is to facilitate the huge demand for computer resources generated by the St Judes auction.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your understanding,

So final bids will need to be in by 9pm? This is eastern correct?

I hope none of the snipers see this  :-)

OOPS, my STUPID bad - please reread the amended topic post!

ONLY the st judes forums will remain online for your bidding and sniping pleasure!

 :D

I dunno if it was my old, slow, dial-up ISP, or the host server, but I couldn't load any TG page for about 10 minutes before and after SJ's #1 closed.  Hope this helps tonight!  You never know when the old sniper rifle...errr...SNIPER BOW! is coming out...

I don't know Curtis, I was trying to play on the auction last nite with my high speed internet and it was slower than the slowest dial up I ever had.

TTT

Yep, I tried to snipe at 9:56 and 9:59 and it posted at 10:02. My bad!!

Get your sniping in early...errr, i guess it wouldn't be sniping then would it?!  

Get your bid's in early. I'm a reformed sniper. Watched the clock and tried to fire a bid in at 9:58pm last night. With all the site traffic I wound up looking at the old "hour Glass" that wouldn't go away. Hit refresh and lost everything, by the time I got back on it was too late. Bid early for the kids.

You have to pull the trigger around 9:54 and bid a little high to beat the snipers.  The system went into convulsions last night a 9:57 pm

And it flew along till the very last minute this evening...and there was just too many last minute bids coming in for the system to handle it.  Rob was on the phone with our host, and he had to re-boot the server as it was jam packed with execution requests.

He's serious tonight!!!
