Never could get the site to load on my phone. Pulled out my iPhone and now it works, but still doesn’t work on my Android. Wonder if it’s because I’m not signed in on this phone.
@Kidsandliz I know. I am standing here with two phones in my hands. On iPhone I can read and post on the forum, while my Android gets error 500 or SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR constantly still. That’s weird.
@thumperchick . . . . guess Meh really is giving us an April Fools!
too bad I can’t /buy and get an IRK . . . .
Thanks for the aggravation to start my week!
im pretty sure this “Mediocrebot” takes preference on the ones who have the subscription since the beginning because i been so close to buy one and at the check out page right after clicking buy it already keep saying sold out but i guess thats life what can you do right ??
Site was crashed by the time I got to it (11:01?) and stayed that way for a long time. I checked every so often and about 11:45 it appeared. I was able to purchase a bag of regret just fine.
It was weird
Hi. I’m complaining because the site decided to tinkle on my parade and refuse to load after I added to cart and tried to complete order. I’m slightly miffed that it refused to load at all until the next deal was up. Thanks for showing Kickstarter meh backers the love.
I was looking at a blank screen with an error message for almost 10 minutes, clicked “refresh”, saw the kit with 5 min left; click, click, click, Done!
@AttyVette I totally feel you. The entire site crashed like crazy since 11:59:55. I was only able to see the selling items a couple times before I saw the KOR.
Still have the window up with IRK on PC (iPhone was totally useless). 10 goddam minutes into ugly shoe sale it finally gives me the purchase window with “we’re not sure what you want to buy”… yeah right, you’re clueless
@lowlypeon me either as meh wouldn’t load until beer glasses then shutdown again and only came up for claw clogs so didn’t even get to see irk up for sale
Never loaded on my computer, but my iPhone finally loaded with less than a minute to go and let me order - surprised the hell out of me…!
/giphy dying-repulsive-thought
So between actually trying to do what they pay me to do at work, and the server crashing, I totally missed the pop sockets in favor of 500 Server Errors, popped in to see the ginormous beer glasses, and returned to more pressing matters at hand like ordering Chinese food… Reloaded the site, and lo and behold there’s an I.R.K. with five minutes and change left on the timer… Must be sold out, right, but. Check I’m not a Robot… It didn’t believe me the first time, box still checked though… Clicked buy again and it worked! Amazed… So I come back over an hour later to say yep, I got one by pure dumb luck!
Servers crashed by the time I got here, kept checking back every few minutes. Suddenly about 11:45 there it was and I was able to purchase in a relatively leisurely manner.
It was weird
Servers smashed when I arrived, continued inquiring at regular intervals. All of a sudden about 11:45 there it was and I had the capacity to buy in a generally restful way.
IRK Bag
USB Type A to Type B Cable
Euro Running Socks
5 Minute Clay Renewal Masks
Michael Kors Macbook Air Laptop Sleeve
Vivitar 360 Action Camera
The Macbook Sleeve perplexes me. I didn’t know such a thing exists (designer branded laptop sleeves). The Vivitar camera though is pretty awesome. Definitely worth the experience.
So I will project the cookie signal in the sky, pick up my old dead phone, put on the socks, and run to the store to buy some proprietary coffee pods while waving a blue glow stick and flying the plane around making pew pew noises.
@DLPanther Ha! That espresso makes does make some good coffee, but good luck finding pods. After I went through the 100 that it came with when I bought it off Meh, but then I couldn’t find anyone that actually sold them. I eventually gave up and sent it off to GoodWill. Still though, I wish you luck!
@MrMikenIkes@psbales@MrMikenIkes@psbales yeah it went in the trash ages ago after a long fruitless search for any kind of pod or converter that would make it worth the counter space. I kept the glow sticks, bag, and ship and pen and donated the socks and case to goodwill
Received my IRK today! The shipping box looked like someone had spilled about a cup of olive oil (I hope) or motor oil on it. Strange. Contents:
Awesome orange bag
“Made in China” (that’s the brand name as far as I can tell) wireless earbuds
A wireless charger mat that sounds like it’s been broken into 20 pieces
A hot iron holster for attaching a curling iron to one’s sink, if I understand correctly (not going to get a lot of use, as my hair is typically one inch long)
An Atomic Lighter lightning bolt edition - I don’t smoke, and yet I’ve wanted to try one of these things, so yea! It also ways about a pound and feels like it was carved out of a piece of steel.
A bag containing two (I think) Turkish cotton bath towels. They look small and a little thin, but still useful.
All in all, a nice haul of things I didn’t need but mostly don’t mind trying.
Mine was delivered Saturday, but not picked up from my PMB until this morning. Surprised at how fast it arrived this time!
Aside from the spiffy orange IRK bag, I received (from memory as they’re at home while I’m at work wasting company time)
A leatherette handbag backpack thing… A big bag that’s taller than it is wide… Probably useful for bringing home a couple of baguettes from the market, but not much else.
Yet another Adrienne Vittadini charging clutch… Seriously, I’ve got something like five of 'em now!
Three watches:
A Laura Ashley ladies watch found loose in the box along with a busted case - including tiny fragments which appear to have been a spring mechanisism for the box which was in two pieces, and a tiny pillow which was probably intended to make sure the watch didn’t get bounced around. Oops!
An Akribos XXIV ladies watch with plenty of bling – almost inside another box which was still in one piece, but the spring mechanism was also busted preventing the box from staying closed. Will definitely wear this for formal occasions instead of my Fitbit.
And a Steinhausen mens watch well secured inside a zippered leatherette case designed to hold two watches. a loose tag also inside the case showing a retail price of $250. Unclear if that was for the watch itself, or for the case with one or, perhaps, two watches inside.
Not a bad haul at all for $5! All the watches appear to be working and in reasonably good shape despite the abuse the first two watch boxes received.

@deathbynoodlez Ditto! Even with the server explosion.
what happened? lololol We got one?
/giphy spicy-horrible-leaf
Yes I finally got one!
@Aschdrw
Took me five different browsers across two devices but …
/giphy dingy-envious-range
@oppodude Ditto! Phone, iPad and 4 browsers on my desktop.
it…worked? I think the trick is that it works in the last minute of the sale, that’s why there’s 16 minutes instead of 15.
@johnnycakes Oh, and
/giphy ablaze-patient-toffee
Yay me. Better than winning a bracket.
Thank you, mighty Mediocrebot! I have received the blessing of a the-bag-formerly-known-as-a-Fuko-bag-formerly-known-as-a-bag-of-crap!

Never could get the site to load on my phone. Pulled out my iPhone and now it works, but still doesn’t work on my Android. Wonder if it’s because I’m not signed in on this phone.
Edit: nope, i’m signed in. Boo.
@djslack site crashed for a while
@Kidsandliz I know. I am standing here with two phones in my hands. On iPhone I can read and post on the forum, while my Android gets error 500 or SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR constantly still. That’s weird.
Aaannd looks like it’s finally back.
Man, who would have thought all it would take for me to get an IRK was for the complete melt down of meh’s servers.
Amazing. I couldn’t get the site to load on any device… turned off WiFi on my phone and sailed right through an order… my first IRK!
/giphy vivacious-blase-paper
WTH . . . .keep the site down until the last f’in minute then maybe it will load. This is BS. I miss the old MEH!
/buy
@rigor Oops, sorry. We’re sold out.
So, I refreshed at 12:32, computer crashed. Site would never load on my phone. Come back at 12:50 and this sold out. Fucking A.
Holy shit, this whole site fuck up thing allowed me to score my first fuko thru ordering - I am astounded
overjoyed-overrated-marble
Hmmph. Site wouldn’t load for me anywhere. Oh well, there shall be more. I need sleep.
Somehow Meh charged me for the monthly membership fee when I tried to buy one but my order didn’t actually go through.
Got one, but no email yet. I do have a screen shot of my purchase.
I still can’t get the site to load in Chrome. I’m currently using MS Edge (shudder) as a substitute. I guess that’s appropriate for Meh…
@shahnm it loaded in chrome’s incognito mode for me. sadly, i figured that out too late to get an IRK.
Another first timer over here, boss. Never could score a fuko, but me & instant regret go back a long way.

@hems79 Look at it this way - since the site crashed likely there will be more sold the other times, or they will add an extra sale of them.
@Kidsandliz I’m the last one to post here. I win.
@thumperchick . . . . guess Meh really is giving us an April Fools!
