After the Green Bar scrolled across nine times I got the message that “we are selling these fast please try again” then I got that they were sold out such a tease
@Felton10 no. Honestly was expecting the same results from the middle of the night…nothing to happen. Alas, I lucked out. Good luck - you and Walter need to score one.
@steelopus poor servers are out of shape. They haven’t tried to work this hard in months, and might have some dead moths gumming up the system somewhere. Let’s just hope we make it through the day without a lethal aneurysm that takes down the whole site.
@rinrinrin@steelopus Could be Joe’s trained scorpions aren’t as well trained as he thought they were rather than moths…or maybe Joe also trained some moths but they’re threatening to unionize and then strike for better working conditions…like air conditioning and free…ummm…woolen coats to eat?
That is so fucked up. I only got 2 rounds of the Brin Page Corporation’s Picture Clicking game on route to my denial. I want my normal 7 to 9 rounds back.
I guess I got off lucky? Tried to buy, was maybe in time, and it errored out. Then the system wanted me to try again, but wouldn’t recognize that I had clicked the captcha. then what the heck, try again, and it says “we don’t know what you are trying to buy”. Um… Then sold out. Okies
Okay, I’m scared now considering that writeup and my order phrase.
Then again, it’s April Fools’ Day, so it’s possible that it’s not an IRK at all, but rather a number of Joe from the warehouse’s pet scorpions that he’s trained to be very still and look like an IRK.
Well, good luck node wranglers! I refreshed a tad early and STILL didn’t get to the IRK BUY IT page until the ticker was already 20 secs into the auction. By far slowest load time ever for me and I fairly regularly score these gnarly regret pups.
@adtnsd wonder if any Serial IRKillers that missed the belly fanny pack (fewer available than the IRK by 22 count) wanna trade!? LOLZ w/all that load?crash time trying to purchase Meh charged me for 2!
@Jamileigh17 Same with my bank. I tried just asking for money because I was broke and they declined. (They also seemed curiously nervous by the request. Who knows why.)
And based on the count that was showing after my confirmation, I was FAST! It showed only 18 sold, and still some available. BAM! 'Kat-reflexes are all over it!
OFFS. I was over on the forum thread at rollover, waiting for the umpteenth “Sod off, mate” on the previous item, and I come back to find out that the IRK has hit and sold out. That’s it, I’m done with today.
Why is the timer for the sold out IRK starting over but the product never changes? I’ve refreshed but I am never seeing any thing new appear? Or, is this the April Fool’s joke? (Never mind, it finally changed)
Wasn’t making progress on my PC, so I tried my phone.
I got to the green scrolling bar of doom, for a long time.
Finally the PC connected, and I tried there. Phone still scrolling. I said purchase, but the address/anti-robot form kinda hung.
Eventually my phone said sorry, sold out.

@jojovanwinkle1 I got that message, refreshed, then got that message again. Good gag, meh.
@jojovanwinkle1 Yep. I got the same thing.
@jojovanwinkle1 same, so sad
/giphy halting-thankful-pilsner
Thank you IRK gods…I really needed this. Life has been brutal lately and now I get to anticipate IRK showing up on my doorstep, YAY!
@cbilyak Enjoy your IRK bag.
@cbilyak You’re lucky. If I do get the page to load, press the buy button and nothing happens. Did you do anything different this time?
@Felton10 no. Honestly was expecting the same results from the middle of the night…nothing to happen. Alas, I lucked out. Good luck - you and Walter need to score one.
Extremely difficult to score on a normal mehrathon… nearly impossible when the site is having server load issues.
@steelopus poor servers are out of shape. They haven’t tried to work this hard in months, and might have some dead moths gumming up the system somewhere. Let’s just hope we make it through the day without a lethal aneurysm that takes down the whole site.
@steelopus
For a mehrathon
Perhaps we should all pitch in

@gt0163c @steelopus
Plausible
I got my fanny pack. Who needs an irk.
@jayman007 I hoping for scorpions in this irk to go in my fanny pack.
12 bars before captcha expired
Greetings, new robot friend. In time you will come to accept your robotic ways.
That is so fucked up. I only got 2 rounds of the Brin Page Corporation’s Picture Clicking game on route to my denial. I want my normal 7 to 9 rounds back.
I guess I got off lucky? Tried to buy, was maybe in time, and it errored out. Then the system wanted me to try again, but wouldn’t recognize that I had clicked the captcha. then what the heck, try again, and it says “we don’t know what you are trying to buy”. Um… Then sold out. Okies
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
Site was broke for me for the dad body pack. Once it was available again, it had already sold out.
@braveit1 Same here. 500 errors time after time.
WHY is this the only page that won’t load? At 47 seconds it finally loaded, gave me at least 6 green bars and THEN decides there’s a problem!
@Lynnerizer I got
Damn! Server crash at the wrong time.
180 and I still get the green bar 6x. Good gravy I missed you IRK
woo!

Oh wow I can’t believe it! I really needed a wee boost today and I am overjoyed! Best of luck to everyone else this Mehrathon!
Dang. I got caught in the “Are you a robot?” disaster wheel.
@jcpseattle same
Great time for my dentist to call to confirm my appointment. Now I have a dental appointment and no IRK.

Moaning costly smoke
Such an evocative phrase
Sighing ambiance
It’s been a long time! Refresh was really slow so I was surprised to get this IRK. / giphy bald-grody-button

Took me longer to find this thread than it did to get the IRK.

Well, good luck node wranglers! I refreshed a tad early and STILL didn’t get to the IRK BUY IT page until the ticker was already 20 secs into the auction. By far slowest load time ever for me and I fairly regularly score these gnarly regret pups.
@Octomeh
I agree! Its taking longer then usual to load today.

Hot diggy I got one!!

@SylvreKat Gosh, and that’s ^^ actually kinda how I feel right now!
And based on the count that was showing after my confirmation, I was FAST! It showed only 18 sold, and still some available. BAM! 'Kat-reflexes are all over it!
Tried verifying I wasn’t a robot a couple times, then Sold Out… ugh, you got me Meh! Almost thought I was a robot.
My first mehttempt in months was a success

It’s nasty indeed
That looks like some great tacos
Except sour cream
Woah! Order said it failed but then later on I received an email confirming success! Wooo!

@connorbush April fools!
/giphy living-vast-field
Yay! Some of my totes are starting to look pretty bedraggled so it’ll be nice to have a fresh one again.
@Jamileigh17 I love the IRK bags. They’re usually my favorite part.
@zhicks1987 Right? They’re so sturdy, perfect for grocery shopping!
Driving home from the dentist, decided to pull over and give it a try…
/giphy unadvised-earnest-credit
It sucks being a robot
Just me, or did this stay up a REALLY long time.
I’m nervous…
@Fourhundred57 They are selling 180 instead of 25 so people have a chance now
@Fourhundred57 You have nothing to worry about, that was nowhere near 4 hours
Wow lasted a whole 90 seconds, sweet!
Got one finally! The fact that I got it 30 seconds in is concerning though

Have not scored a irk since December
Here’s hoping we get a rare back to back IRK before I have to head to work.
Yeah but did you “lucky” IRK buying folks get a dad-bod fanny pack? Who’se the real winner here??
@foieg I don’t think the fanny packs sold out… but yeah y’all are the real winners

Shipped super quick this time.
I think the package stats are just placeholders or I’m getting something(s) thin and fluffy…
1 lbs / 0.45 kgs 6x4x1 in.
@paulsab same stats on mine. Arrives Wednesday for me.
@paulsab My tracking said 1 lb, but the box itself was a lot heavier than that
