Why weren't they prepared for this much traffic!!!

Their not a big company, so don't expect them to be ready for something like this. I bet their using some economic server hosting sites to handle their websites. I guess just the luck we need.

Please be patient, this sale will happen, we increased the bandwidth and amount of people able to log on at the same time earlier this week to the max, but it seems like we need even more... Didn't forsee around 600 people on the site at the same time lol...

Best case scenario, the sale will resume in about 30 mins. Worse case scenario, this sale will be delayed to a future date.

I'm VERY SORRY to say, that we will have to postpone this sale till tomorrow :( Need anywhere from 2 hours to 20 hours for a new upgrade.

There is just too much data to handle for the server and they can't take the load. We will start this sale again tomorrow at 11am again.

We will try this again tomorrow from 11am - 9pm (8/11)

Again, I am very very sorry that this happened, but we really did not foresee over 700 people trying to log onto our site at the same time and refreshing. Even with our maximum bandwidth and server load, it still crashed. Godaddy is putting us on another server with more room that can hopefully handle the load.

We should have been more prepared and we have failed you guys. I will go through the pieces and do further discounting today. I know this will not make things better, since we have wasted so many people's time, but hopefully it will help out a little bit.

Again, thank you for your support and understanding, and we are sorry for the inconvenience.

Things happen. Out of your control. At least you have kept us updated and trying to rectify the problem. Dot sweat it man. You didn't fail anyone. Then again I'm an easy going person. I'm sure some of these d-bags will complain... Lol
