Event Registration

[JesterPoet]

They need to do this the same way colleges do online class registration and make people register in chunks...

The people that got badges first get to register first... alphabetically by last name... something... anything... would avoid a lot of frustration.

Bah... you're one of those people with a last name that starts with "A" aren't you?

I finally got to the login page... but now its just back to waiting

Last name starts with a "B"... never been first in line... but, always close!

Do it by random draw... whatever... just be sure that this doesn't happen by assigning specific times.

This is going to be the best! Not only are we bogging down the GenCon server, but we can bog down the Enworld servers with our complaints while we wait for the stupid GenCon pages to load!

I love the internet...

Just think of how the dialup people feel (like myself) who are slower then the DSL people who can get the "cannot find server" page faster.. we have to wait longer to be let down....

Yep. I'm in, but the minute you try to do anything it simply dies.

Ha ha!

:Fathead looks to the rest of the Enworld members posting in the thread

Come on guys! We're keeping those who WERE able to get in from registering! Open up a few more instances of your browser and hit the site harder! JesterPoet and those lucky enough to get in will eventually give up in frustration allowing a brief window for one of us to get in!

Ha ha!

Post script - I guess I should mention that I'm kidding...

Bargh! Last night I made up a 2 page Excel Spreadsheat of events to sign up for, then i choose back up events in case the ones I want are full.

But 3:40?!!! I still can't get on!

3:40? Oh, come on... everyone knows Eastern Time isn't "real time"

Now I'm getting weird "software error" pages... very strange...

Maybe it's time to quit for 30 minutes... ... but, probably not.

Misery enjoys company, if thats the case glad to know others are frustrated as I am trying to register. Last year at midnight it took like three hours with the crush to get anything. This year I am not sure but man does it stink the servers can't handle the traffic.
