Anyone else have an issue with IE? Mine wasn't allowing me to want 3 craps. Firefox was but apparently the IE processed a bit faster. I'm gonna call Microsoft tech support right now to let them know they owe me 2 carps. :P

Oh well. I loves me the Banjo of Consternation and will now be hopelessly glued to the smartpost tracking page to see when salvation will be delivered.

I tried in both IE and Firefox and NEITHER of them allowed me to click 3.

Hey!! I have the same birthday as WOOT!! And I STILL didn't get any carp!! Phooey! :-P

This is baloney. I was here fifteen minutes early and I'm on a fiber-optic connection.

What a bunch of bull.

“Waiting for https://www.woot.com/Member/Order.aspx...” and still waiting. oh well, guess no carp for me!

..Anyone else unable to depress the "I want 3" button? Using Firefox 2.0.0.15 here... Never have had any trouble before with Firefox 2...

I went for one anyways. The order is still processing...

NH here. Got 3 bags.

I got to the your order is processing page... stating that the've reserved product for me. I'm guessing that meants butkis.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that couldn't the the "THREE" button to work!!!

Maybe it's a Firefox 3.0 thing, I don't know...

If I would have know it was gonna do that, I would have gladly settled for ONE!

Oh well, I've gotten it 2 out of like 20 tries in the last few years, I guess that isn't too bad...

I GOT SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

15 MINUTES FOR THE 'PAYPAL' SCREEN TO FINISH AND THEN IT TIMED OUT!

I WANT MY Braille on Cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

wow, four years. it seems like.....much longer.

And alas I I am an un-original person again... hahah. Didn't even make it to the confirm screen this time. Kicked me back to the buy page after I said 'all this info is correct'.

[Oh yeah, and before the day is done -- happy bday Woot!]

Very dissapointingl

It only allowed would not allow me to click on 3 and took me to the page where my order had been accepted and they were processing the credit card..... about 4 mn later.... "SERVER BUSY".

Happy Birtday WOOT! .... even if I did not get my coveted bag.

PEACE

What did anyone get from the last batch of B O C?

OK, Woot Doodz - while your server's thinking about my credit card, let me just say that YOU STILL OWE ME!!
I don't think we need to go into details here, but I think you remember the deal with the earthay onitormay, right?

I'm still waiting for the love....

I was so close yet not close enough. Server too slow.

The server crapped out BECAUSE you (and many others) kept hitting refresh. When will they learn...?

Well that sucked....10 minutes before even getting in, one chance in to buy 1 instead of 3 coz the 3 button doesn't work, followed by a guess as to whether it got in. And then nothing afterwards? Truly a bag of crizzle today Woot.

Great, just happens to be the one night where I have to close the grocery store I work at just after midnight.

Glad I'm not the only one. Is woot screwing with us or what? :P

Well, server ditched in the middle of my order...waited FOREVER for order to process, timed out, then finally came back as sold out when I tried again........WAAAAAH!!!!!

Obviously you hate my f'n area of the country woot because there was no way I could have been more prepared and I got errors every freaking time. Even got to I want one, but, errors everywhere. This has happened the past 3 times now. Thanks much.

Hey, it's my birthday today too! Honestly, I swear.

Although nobody will give me a gift today, most likely **cries**.

Still processing...hope to get lucky.

Let us know your stories tonight. I got to the "this info is correct button", then it gave me a "Server is too busy" page after waiting a long time.

got 3 to work but server died while processing. not sure if in or out

Over a bag of worthless shizznit? I don't understand the hype over the Blogging Old CEO. Oh wait.....I did get a 27" vizio last time!!!

You have a chance-- maybe-- it's luck at that point. I've had to wait 20-30 minutes sometimes for confirmations...

You also have a chance of the dreaded "You're in line! We're technically sold out but if someone's credit card is declined for FIVE DOLLARS then maybe we'll think of giving one to you" message-- which for all intents and purchases means kiss your carp goodbye. ;)

Ovaltina, my goat I got all the way to the push the oversized gold button part... I clicked it and connection to server was reset. carp!

So fun, I love trying to get a Banjo of Consternation <3

Long live Woot!

I was in, they wanted my password, I gave it to them and then it was sold out.

Woot Blogging Old CEO is like that really hot girl in high school you keep asking out to the prom and she keeps on shooting you down but you still keep asking knowing full well it will just result in frustrating and shame.

I now seriously think the Blogging Old CEO is a load of carp. I was in with plenty of time. Beginning to think it's a bs publicity stunt. They could simply redirect people who actually get in on time to a different server so they don't get screwed.

Ovaltina, my goat, what a bogus Blogging Old CEO! Refresh kept throwing back the damn Uniden phones for 10 minutes. Finally got a screen, another 5 minutes trying to get it to accept order, then I am an un-original person.

Buggery Buggery Birthday to you, W00t!
I hope you get nothing but socks and underwear and NO video games.

Someone should give them one for their oh-so-special birthday. 'Cause all we got was screwed over. I clicked "I Want One" as soon as the Braille on Cookies came up. It sat there for 20 MINUTES before it even took me to the order page...and as soon as I tried to put in my order, it of course told me it was sold out.

Thanks again for nothing, Woot. I'm about sick of trying.

Closest I've ever gotten....hit I want three...saw it change to $8 total....olive-green screen of death....sold out

Is IE really a factor in the speed of processing like a previous comment implied?

That was the WORST buying experience I have ever seen on the internet BAR NONE. This was to be my first purchase on WOOT. Woot lost a customer today. I will spread the word to everyone I know. Even e-bay has their carp together better than that.

My first carp in a bag.......at least on Woot.

They've reserved a product for me!

The one time this week i'm not on at 1 am, it's carp.

server vacuums try to hit button for 30 minutes now its sold out what a birthay way to goooooooooooooo B.S.

I have just about had it with this site. It has steadily become worse and worse over the past year or so. Now, even on regular days it can take several minutes for the pages to load due to the sheer volume of people trying to check the Woot sites at midnight. And as for the Bags, they are darn near impossible to get, although six thousand S.O.B.s obviously made it somehow. All I got to show up were the phones from last night for the first seven minutes after midnight. This, combined with Woot's poor choice to use SmartPost for just about everything now has just about got me to the point of quitting Woot for good. Also, Woot, put sellout.woot on some different servers so that people dont hit "Server too Busy" messages on all of the Woot sites. This s--u--c--k--s. I hope your servers really crash Woot. I also hope you enjoy your birthday, because your ears should all be burning today from the number of irate, and loyal I might add, customers who are regularly screwed out of the Bags.

What pisses me off is that I had anticipated this, and therefore loaded my page at 12:04 (just in case my clock was off) -- and what the heck!? It still showed me the phones.

By the time I had reloaded it and seen the Blogging Old CEO, gotten to the order page and said it was all good, it had sold out. =( Dang.. I'll never get one.

Happy birthday anyway, woot!.

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, this vacuums! I WAS on a roll there getting these Blogging Old CEO's, but now I just can't get them!

This time it took nearly 15 minutes for me to see something other than those phones; and once I was able to click on the big orange button for the Blogging Old CEO, the page just kept crashing! And now they are sold out. Looks like another 3 year drought again for me! :o(
