The expired black friday irk link in the fake cameras is probably the thing that will finally make me cancel my VMP. There is just no effort left and this has become soulless. It was fun while it lasted.
There are more items that aren’t crap than has been the case lately, in my opinion. But I have to think that the IRKs are going to be just as lackluster as the Side Deal ones from the last 'Thon, if for no other reason than the fact that the one before that had so many that were really good. Flip side; because they aren’t on Side Deal, I probably will have no luck getting one. Que sera, sera.
Meh.? Are you guys getting bot-attacked at each deal launch? How about ‘secretly’ launching the new deals 30 second before the countdown hits zero? And only we know about it? Could that foil the bots?
Over all the years I have never been able to get a bag of crap or an IRK. Seen loads of garbage and some really cool stuff so I’ll keep trying but it’s really not that big of a deal guyzzz. Deep breaths and have fun!!!
Wow, this is the best Meh-rathon. As of this post, I already bought four things (my previous record was two). I’m considering buyingthe Digital Storm shirt a second time to have as a backup in case the current one shrinks after a wash.
Every time I remember there is a meh-rathon and refresh my phone, I see a sold out IRK— which is only mildly better than trying to you know-- actually buy one. So much meh in my meh-ry Christmas!
I KNEW it! Well not really but I had a feeling.
On a Sunday night?!?!
Crap. Who needs sleep anyway.
So soon?!!
And you started with recent shirt designs? Bold move.
Are the irks going to improve?
@lonocat Probably, since it’s taking 5 minutes for the next item to load!
@ircon96 @lonocat
Oh good, I thought it was just me. This is awful
Such colorful clicky faces. Can’t wait to see them all.
Site is loading slower than another particular site.
So far, the stuff listed looks above average.
Fuck.
Someone is sucking the life out of the site at rollover
@jmhsrv Bots. Just like woot, this is a well-known event now in the botting communities, and there are hundreds of them trying to hit.
@jmhsrv @ShotgunX that’s why I liked what they did last time better … Would have thrown all the bots off.
Shake it up. Make it harder to code.
If they maintain this pace, they’ll be selling 30 items/hour!
@Ambiverbal Not sure about sell, maybe show.
Wow, the crap has gotten even worse.
The one night that I can’t stay up! Guess I’ll catch the ones in the morning.
Finally! Got my IRK. Merry Christmas?
Who’s buying this crap? No one. It’s genuinely overpriced needless crap. It’s 2:54 am cst.nothing to see here.

@arbdef So wait, are the irks gonna be in the sale, or on one of the partners’ sites, or hidden?
@SylvreKat In the sale. I am bitching because the fake security cameras still had the link from the black friday IRKs. They just recycled IRKs.
@arbdef
/giphy head pat
Mehnday Mehndayyyyy…
@PocketBrain
Mehnday mehnday
Can’t trust that day
Get it in time for Christmas? Meh!

@werehatrack
I’m still waiting for my order from before Thanksgiving to come.
Hopefully it’ll come before New Years.
(It finally got marked as shipped on Friday, though without a tracking number.)
@FreePasta @werehatrack Same here but I found it in FedEx delivery manager.
@werehatrack $6 SHIRTS!!!1!1!!!
/giphy That’s a good deal. Maybe.
@sammydog01 @werehatrack
Supposedly my IRK is coming tomorrow.
Oh wel…l visiting my mom so can’t play the irk game today… Of course I wouldn’t likely get one even if I played as there are so few.
Website down?
@OnionSoup wondering the same!
@OnionSoup Performance is terrible. It took 1m2s for the page to load once the new item was up.
@Jasongb @OnionSoup
It’s up, but reloads sometimes take forever; I wonder if they’re getting DDoSed?
@Jasongb @OnionSoup @werehatrack we get enough DoIrks. I dunno that I can handle a DDoIrk
@OnionSoup Definitely getting borked. Site fails to load on refresh.
website SUPER slow at launch of new deals. meh.
@pippakay I checked this thread as I was wondering the same. SUPER slow which is not the normal experience.

Looks like they picked the wrong Monday to give up having just one deald per day.
Definitely ruining the fun. Too bad the forum is also affected
@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC have a holly jolly cardiac event!
@mikey what?? I don’t need a cardiac event.
@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC That’s what I’m gonna get from refresh stress
@mikey ah!
18 seconds from rollover to actual refresh.
No joy today.
Everything’s working speedy for me again
so now it’s my own stupid fault I keep not getting irks 
yeah I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I was getting SUPER frustrated last night. Thankfully it seems a bit better this morning.
This is strange. When the next item isn’t an IRK, the page loads fine. As soon as an IRK comes up, the page won’t load.
Same thing with me as well
I’ve never really noticed before, but the clock numbers “flip” as opposed to just change at an appearing random interval.
Never really paid attention to that before despite having been in dozens of mehrathons by now.

Better deals and choices on MS and SDeal.

Perhaps this may have had a bearing…
