I made it to the order screen, submitted, but I never got a confirmation. I'm in limbo, don't know if my order went thru or not. Ugh. Or, ya know, meh.
@sassymango looks like I got mine. The order page eventually reloaded, I clicked buy again, and it says "Oops, sorry, you can't buyany more of these (you already bought 1.)" Yay!
@DJP519 That is what I got too. That better be right!!! or I will be seriously pissed off since it won't let us buy again. Meh better honor that if something went terribly wrong with the order. I took a screen shot just in case.
I tried to place the order, it kicked back that my credit card number was incorrect. Remembered that my card had been canceled thanks to Home Depot. Fervently typed in my new number, sitting in a parking lot. Now it's just cycling, likely to never accept my order... Meh.
Kinda in the same boat. No confirmation, and the screen just hung. Then I was able to log in through another browser and tried to order again, and got far enough for it to say I had already ordered one. I sure hope that means it went through.
@Kidsandliz She got out of that one by the hair on her chinny chin chin. Although that phrase was from the 3 little pigs, it seems so appropriate for goats.
I submitted my order, got the green cycling bar, then got a "Oops. Let's try that again" message. Clicked it to try again, and then got a Oops message again, but underneath it says "Oops, Sorry. You can't buy more than one of these (You already bought 1)." Never saw an order confirmation screen.
@isokramer I wasn't waiting around long enough to see if mine said that or not... I wish I had been paying closer attention. Then I'd know if I should go to bed or keep trying!
@isokramer of course if later it says no and is sold out then there is a problem. I took a screen shot of it telling me I couldn't order again so hopefully that will be honored if my order is "lost". My first try was at 186 sold. My second one at 250 something or other said I had bought one already. my third attempt the screen said 416 and said it couldn't go through as I had bought one. So maybe since it claims twice in a row I bought one I should be OK
@DaveInSoCal If you got to the purchase screen before and it errored out, check your credit card to see if the pre-auth is there. Mine just showed up. Yay!
I had a feeling there was going to be a fuku tonight, so I was already loading the page right when it went up. I got mine ordered and got to listen to the song as well before it all came crashing down. ~whew~ :)
Made it to order screen only to have it scroll endlessly until it told me something went terribly wrong. Hit it again and it told me I couldn't buy anymore since I had one!!
I've got a $5 pending charge, but my bank never shows who a pending charge is from. I've been trying on 2 devices for about 50 minutes. So hopefully one of them was successful.
Managed to sneak one in. I think the site being so messed up actually helped me on this one, since it totally slipped my mind until about 10 minutes past the start.
Something Went Terribly Wrong for the past 35(?) minutes already ...
I'm thinking back to the last website that broke down with the frequency of a Hyundai Excel ... TeeTurtle 1.0. Back in then, every time a new shirt went up, the server overloaded. It's been fine since Ramy upgraded everything (about 16 months ago), though, to the extent that it even survived the time he had over 10k orders in a day.
"Remember, those of us that missed out: the brain releases the same dopamine level for almost winning that it does by actual winning. It's how gambling addiction works, and I'd missed every BoC I went for back in the day. So, thank you, meh, for giving me the brush with glory that I haven't had in a long time."
meh. I tried for an hour. It failed to load several times, then crashed, then the Amazon sign-in failed and redirected me to Mediocre, which then required I go back to Meh, which asked me to sign in again, and again, and again. Finally it got to the order page, I punched the buy button, and the green bar spun several times, then said something terribly wrong happened, and to try again. After the 7th attempt, it informed me the sale was sold out, and I should go to bed.
You know mediocre, you can't expect to grow when your site has these problems. All week your site has struggled with working at change over time and then for the next 45 minutes. While you may have steady traffic, I think you could be losing a good amount of customers who check and not come back when it doesn't come up. Do you have a decline in meh button clicks, what about people who have a lot of clicks, what about a moderate amount? You keep saying you want us to help you grow, but your site not working doesn't exactly help us help you. Know what I'm saying?
Since it is midnight there are some of us who don't want to stay up a bunch more minutes hoping the page finally loads… cheap crap just isn't worth that kind of loss of sleep on a daily basis.
@Kidsandliz it seems you're getting very upset about this. Maybe it's time to take a break from meh and do your cheap-crap shopping somewhere else for a while?
Considering that the something went terribly wrong video ran with no problem with a ton of us landing there, perhaps that server is in better shape and they just need to switch over...
Every night now. Fuku didn't help, that's for sure.
yup meh.com is down. I just got to the front page. Clicked on Buy it and its spinning.
doh!
I made it to the order screen, submitted, but I never got a confirmation. I'm in limbo, don't know if my order went thru or not. Ugh. Or, ya know, meh.
@DJP519 same here!
@sassymango looks like I got mine. The order page eventually reloaded, I clicked buy again, and it says "Oops, sorry, you can't buyany more of these (you already bought 1.)" Yay!
@DJP519 That is what I got too. That better be right!!! or I will be seriously pissed off since it won't let us buy again. Meh better honor that if something went terribly wrong with the order. I took a screen shot just in case.
@DJP519 I eventually got the page to load & got the same message. Looks like we both got one! yay
@Kidsandliz The same thing happened to me, I took a screen shot too. I'm a little concerned about how seriously I take this, lol.
@iluvmingos Seriously? You're concerned? LOL Yeah we apparently drank the kool-aid sometime ago - @snapster is probably pleased we have been reeled in
@Kidsandliz I definitely drank the Kool-Aid, although judging by my order confirmation, Meh thinks I should be drinking bourbon.
I clicked the place my order button but never got a confirmation ... To stay up and make sure it went through or go to sleep?? Tough decision.
Need...new...server...badly...
I tried to place the order, it kicked back that my credit card number was incorrect. Remembered that my card had been canceled thanks to Home Depot. Fervently typed in my new number, sitting in a parking lot. Now it's just cycling, likely to never accept my order... Meh.
Son of a meh!!!
mine got to the purchase screen, then kept telling me "Something went terribly wrong, try again?"
These are not the days of Woot that I enjoyed, but for some reason I almost like it anyway
I'm hoping I already got it... but I'm going to keep trying anyway. At least until it tells me to stop
I was waiting so patiently too. I saw FUKU and went to click. CRASH wwhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy meh
Kinda in the same boat. No confirmation, and the screen just hung. Then I was able to log in through another browser and tried to order again, and got far enough for it to say I had already ordered one. I sure hope that means it went through.
@pitamuffin It probably did. I had the same thing, just now got into orders and it is in there.
My order made it through before the hammer fell: killer-highfalutin-blackberry. But I REALLY want to hear the TMBG meh song!
@DaveInSoCal "Cheer up sucker":
The order progress bar is still scrolling here ...
This is the kind of anxiety and disappointment I expect from a half-assed site trying to sell me shit I don't need at prices I can't refuse.
Bravo.
@Thumperchick True story.
@Thumperchick And we can't even blame you now (grin)
@Kidsandliz She got out of that one by the hair on her chinny chin chin. Although that phrase was from the 3 little pigs, it seems so appropriate for goats.
ahh. This reminds me of the olden days of woot
I submitted my order, got the green cycling bar, then got a "Oops. Let's try that again" message. Clicked it to try again, and then got a Oops message again, but underneath it says "Oops, Sorry. You can't buy more than one of these (You already bought 1)." Never saw an order confirmation screen.
@isokramer I wasn't waiting around long enough to see if mine said that or not... I wish I had been paying closer attention. Then I'd know if I should go to bed or keep trying!
@isokramer Check your orders later. https://meh.com/orders
@narfcake Yeah, I'm trying to do it now, but the site is a no-go. Later it is!
@isokramer of course if later it says no and is sold out then there is a problem. I took a screen shot of it telling me I couldn't order again so hopefully that will be honored if my order is "lost". My first try was at 186 sold. My second one at 250 something or other said I had bought one already. my third attempt the screen said 416 and said it couldn't go through as I had bought one. So maybe since it claims twice in a row I bought one I should be OK
@isokramer Hoping mine went through, I had the same thing with the Oops after the never ending green progress bar. I guess we'll see.
@isokramer @belowi It probably did. I had the same thing, just now got into orders and it is in there.
@Kidsandliz No luck, doesn't show up in orders for me. Looks like I lost at Fuku Roulette.
All I've been able to get is a blank page. aargh.
@parodymandotcom I'm getting the blank screen now too. Everything's slooooooooowwwwwwwdiiiiiinnnnnggggggg
@DaveInSoCal If you got to the purchase screen before and it errored out, check your credit card to see if the pre-auth is there. Mine just showed up. Yay!
@capguncowboy great idea! Thanks for helping me sleep soundly tonight!
@capguncowboy I made it in time :) Have a good fuku'ing night!
@parodymandotcom It looks like it went through, fingers crossed!
I think I got mine, but now I'm scurred. Gotta hang around and make sure.
I just checked my credit card... I see the "Pending - MEH.COM $5.00"
I guess I can go to bed now?
@capguncowboy I would say yes.
I've been trying for 25 minutes now and I can't even get an order page.
Oh God it's a Fuku? F5 F5 F5
@JazzyJosh Site just loaded for me but extremely slow.
I made it through at 11:o4, and got as far as the loading bar to make the purchase. 22 minutes later, still no idea if it went through.
Oh yeah! I checked my credit card and have a pending charge to meh.com for $5! I'll take that as all the confirmation I'm getting tonight.
@Thumperchick Glad someone liked my idea :)
@capguncowboy Haha, actually @jaybird said it in the irc channel. I didn't see your post until I posted about my confirmation.
Irk just called. He's mopping up a puddle of what used to be the server. It melted. Gone forever.
Sorry guys
@capguncowboy The hamster died.
I had a feeling there was going to be a fuku tonight, so I was already loading the page right when it went up. I got mine ordered and got to listen to the song as well before it all came crashing down. ~whew~ :)
@Pony I had been figuring cyber Monday or Black Friday or Christmas eve… LOL
See my CC has a pending charge of $5 from "Stripe". Does that make sense?
@NoSalt Congrats! While you didn't get a Fuku, you got a "Fuck you!". Irk sold your credit card info to a 3rd party
@NoSalt Now we know that meh is using Stripe's payment services. It's legit.
Woo -- er, MEH! It looks like mine went through (at 12:05am).
Site is back up, but very very slow. I had to re-login.
ORDER PAGE GO!
I was on the site within two minutes and didn't get a confirmation. Had to check my bank to see $5 taken out.
I got the orders page to finally load. There it is! YAY!
learned-exhausted-frankenstein
And this Frankenstein is exhausted. Night and Goodluck!
idiotic-parallel-weaver
Made it to order screen only to have it scroll endlessly until it told me something went terribly wrong. Hit it again and it told me I couldn't buy anymore since I had one!!
@Ryaneil Check your orders -- I bet you got it
@capguncowboy Took about 3 minutes but my orders loaded to show fuku!!
wearisome-imperfect-tortoise!! That's the most fitting confirmation
Got through to order page to find frantic-rosy-gate. Yes! Frantic, indeed.
Ordering is slow but I'm tryin!
Green Bar is a-moving
@gimpeyjoe oops let's try it again? Oh dear
@gimpeyjoe Keep doing it until it tells you you have one
@Ryaneil so very tense
@gimpeyjoe Nope, all gone
@cengland0 how could you do that to @gimpeyjoe
@Ryaneil No scapegoating at Mediocre.
I've had the scrolling bar on the purchase screen for the last 30 minutes. Really hope this goes through.
Checked aagain this morning and mine went through. Super excited!
no luck at all
page loaded, green scroll bar.
@mzkhadir Hold strong, if it fails hit it again and hope for it to tell you you can't order a second one
@Ryaneil I just checked my card and I saw a temp authorization for 11/14
@mzkhadir
I cant get anything but Irk singing, my command-r keys are wearing out!
@belowi Got the green progress bar... waiting.... waiting....
@belowi you should check your temporary card authorization on your cc
@mzkhadir Nothing yet. On my third try with the green progress bar after submitting the order.
I hadn't quite given up hope, but it doesn't show up in My Orders page. That blows.
Terribly wrong main page :/
Just keep getting that oh-so-catchy song.
Feels a little like
I've got a $5 pending charge, but my bank never shows who a pending charge is from. I've been trying on 2 devices for about 50 minutes. So hopefully one of them was successful.
Woo hoo! The computer order page just said I already got one! My first Fuku! tangy-quickest-wire
Managed to sneak one in. I think the site being so messed up actually helped me on this one, since it totally slipped my mind until about 10 minutes past the start.
I go the they ran out message and refreshed and I got Irk :/
And now after an hour I get an "oops, sorry, we ran out." Seriously meh.
Finally got the "oops, sorry, we ran out." but i do see pending charge on credit card. I guess I will find out when i am able to check orders.
Something Went Terribly Wrong for the past 35(?) minutes already ...
I'm thinking back to the last website that broke down with the frequency of a Hyundai Excel ... TeeTurtle 1.0. Back in then, every time a new shirt went up, the server overloaded. It's been fine since Ramy upgraded everything (about 16 months ago), though, to the extent that it even survived the time he had over 10k orders in a day.
so it's pointless to keep trying at this point?
@medz yep
@magnuspraeda f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5
In case the forum crashed, too:
"Remember, those of us that missed out: the brain releases the same dopamine level for almost winning that it does by actual winning. It's how gambling addiction works, and I'd missed every BoC I went for back in the day. So, thank you, meh, for giving me the brush with glory that I haven't had in a long time."
meh. I tried for an hour. It failed to load several times, then crashed, then the Amazon sign-in failed and redirected me to Mediocre, which then required I go back to Meh, which asked me to sign in again, and again, and again. Finally it got to the order page, I punched the buy button, and the green bar spun several times, then said something terribly wrong happened, and to try again. After the 7th attempt, it informed me the sale was sold out, and I should go to bed.
Well I was drinking and playing pool for the last hour, so I think I'm the real winner here.
Pro tip:
https://mediocre.com/deals/fukubukuro-3
@medz witch! Witch!! Witch craft!!! How did I not know about this? What do you do if you don't know the item?
@medz Is this the twilight zone?
@Ryaneil I figured it was worth a shot since the tshirt was under mediocre.com/deals. Future reference, I'll be bookmarking the fukubukuro-4 page
I think it's clear to say @shawn and his precious lil site here sux a big one at this point. ;)
@medz wow, thanks
@shawn classy, right?
Time to open @snapster's wallet and spring for more azure power.
Any idea what's going on over there? (Or what's not going on)? Did anyone see today's deal?
@KDemo Meh Farm to Table Bundle: Apron, Knife, Roaster & Thermometer $18 https://t.co/2mlUPSoyXd
@Ignorant - Thanks so much! Terribly frustrating.
This is ridiculous. I'm disappointed in the stability of the site. I pay the MVP membership, but the site is inaccessible more frequently.
@LongDoggie that's the problem, next time get the VMP.
@LongDoggie I think you mean VMP. It's possible your expectations are set too high.
@LongDoggie yes, VMP. I pay for the vmp. How egregious of me.
50 minutes to get the site to load. Sold out last night. Frustrating tonight. But I said mvp instead of vmp...
@DaveInSoCal yes, that is the important part. VMP, not mvp.
@LongDoggie glad we are all on the same page now.
You know mediocre, you can't expect to grow when your site has these problems. All week your site has struggled with working at change over time and then for the next 45 minutes.

Well said. Let's hope the growing pains get resolved quickly.
Since it is midnight there are some of us who don't want to stay up a bunch more minutes hoping the page finally loads… cheap crap just isn't worth that kind of loss of sleep on a daily basis.
@Kidsandliz it seems you're getting very upset about this. Maybe it's time to take a break from meh and do your cheap-crap shopping somewhere else for a while?
@DaveInSoCal Nope not very upset… just wishing their site worked better when everyone was trying to get on
@DanielTheNerd Woot had the same issues and that site certainly grew.
Considering that the something went terribly wrong video ran with no problem with a ton of us landing there, perhaps that server is in better shape and they just need to switch over...
