That was super quick, all entries gone within 30 seconds I'd say.

Same here. Frustrating to say the least! But we get more chances to enter/frustrate ourselves in a few hours. LOL.

I got in by clicking send at 1:00:01 on an accurate clock and ended up no.54. Some where faster than me.

Ronald Oakes · 07-29-2018, 10:09 PM

I hit the button at 1 second past 10......took forever to load......waited and waited......finally got slot #48
Whew......at least I have a chance and can rest easy......what will be will be

I clicked at the same time and missed out.

15 seconds "posting quick reply" and a further 35 seconds before it refreshed with " all entries filled".

I think they were actually gone within 5 seconds. It just took forever to load

Looks like the first raffle completed smoothly. Only the briefest pause on the refresh and the thread took #75 entries, no more.
Congrats to Adam for working out the kinks. Congrats to all who successfully got entered. And good luck to everyone else
over the next three raffles.

**alfa75ts** · 07-29-2018, 10:12 PM

And there were only between 236 and 264 registered users online.

Ronald Oakes · 07-29-2018, 10:13 PM

This did seem to go MUCH better than the first raffle.....in fact it appears Perfect..... Pleased.

Aberrator · 07-29-2018, 10:15 PM

I agree it was much improved over last time but it is not a level playing field, there are factors beyond Adams control.

Good luck to those who got in, may the K1 be with you.
