Same thing

 

[C2C6Z06]

OOPSSS

Same Page not Found@@

 

[sundialracing]

I got the 404 again....

 

[G-force]

error'd again. This is insulting. I'm sitting here at my nephues 10th birthday party missing out because of this ****.

 

[gcan]

the 3:30 link does the same????

 

[Art D]

same again

 

[CanyonRS4]

Same error again here too

 

[amishman]

this is all very comical. They shoul have taken ALL names weeks ago wit credit card verified and then randomly pull 20 winners. This first 20 to login is pure silliness. Only would have been fair that ALL here start on equal footing and then draw names. Tj

 

[weicm3]

yes. the same error.

 

[rinker1]

Lets try 4:00

 

[CanyonRS4]

Well, all I can say is the site is probably swamped and it times out .... typically small sites are not set up for the traffic they are getting.

 

[rinker1]

Or 4:30....

 

[cw_racefan]

Can you say Cluster F***???

 

[L James]

Same Error too!!

 

[rao]

Occasionally it will go to this page, which is blank:

http://www.maxjaxusa.com/groupbuy/include/groupbuygen.php

 

[robertearl]

Now it's just going straight to the form itself; same results.

I've got other stuff I have to do...

 

[rottie1]

This is plain wrong, give every one the offer

 

[gcan]

so what do we do now?

 

[C2C6Z06]

To err is human, to REALLY foul up requires a COMPUTER!!!


Give the IT guys a break....could be a TON of folks trying for this product and causing what amounts to a DoS attack....


I'm done for the day..will try later.

 

[weicm3]

now instead of error 404, it's empty page after submission.

 

[rinker1]

Only The last 20 will survive.

 

[jkeyser14]

I wanted one, but not sure how much longer I can sit here trying...

 

[wachuko]

I suggest to do what I did. I sent a PM with my information... if they want to do the right thing they will honor that. I have to get back to my family. Cheers!

 

[cw_racefan]

so what do we do now?

Buy a lift elsewhere??

 

[427HISS]

Easy boys,....easy. It will be handled, I'm sure the site is way,...overloaded. They will treat everyone right.

 

[jay50]

This is a bunch of $hit; set up a contest and it goes amuck; time to look elsewhere for a lift...and better service...

 

[sbarton]

Open up the offer to the GJ members who want it, not the first 20. This is going to make some upset, unhappy customers otherwise. Not exactly what they intended.

[38Chevy454]

I have been trying since the original 3:00 time and now the new 3:30 time, still no success with the webpage. The new one now does not have an error, but the page is blank?

 

[weicm3]

any one from maxjax can tell us what to do now? the info. we entered got submitted or not?!

 

[rinker1]

If it sounds to good to be true it is to good to be true....

 

[jbrown183]

Anybody else find it humorous that there has been no response from DHR

It's not a DoS as they are serving up the pages to us. It just appears that there is a problem with the form that submits the info. Maybe the Database can't handle that many inserts at one time?

-Scott

 

[mzarolinski]

How much longer are you guys going to wait?

Any updates?

 

[38Chevy454]

Anybody else find it humorous that there has been no response from DHR

I am willing to give benefit of the doubt since they are trying to solve a computer problem. He has more important issues at this immediate time. I hope they can work this out.

 

[weicm3]

Anybody else find it humorous that there has been no response from DHR

it's not april 1st today, is it?

 

[gvr4-201]

How about the first 20 persons that try for a hundred times get the GB price.. I must be close to that number...

 

[PowerDubs]

Well.. I can tell you what... the way they handle this mess will make or break their reputation!!

 

[C2C6Z06]

Scott, you are right on the exact nature of a DoS, but the end result is the same...I hope everyone will give them the benefit of the doubt for the technical problems...

 

[sbarton]

It worked for me the second try. The first time, I copy & pasted in the password, and it didn't take. When I typed it in, it worked fine... Here is what the registration page looks like...

[DHR]

One thing we were afraid of...

The word got out to a lot of car forums out there. We received hundreds of inbound links. The IT guys are telling me that the amount of traffic we received crashed our servers because it exceeded our bandwidth.

Obviously the interest in this product has well exceeded our expectations.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We're going to increase the size of our bandwidth and re-announce the contest on Monday.
