Trad Gang is a popular place

We set the new record for folks on the site at one time tonight. 1176!!! No wonder the poor server was having fits!

Nice to see such a growing interest in Traditional Archery and the community growing here.

LOL!  Yeah, I tried to post bids for over 20 minutes but the server could not respond ;-)  Congratulations!

Copied from Rob's post at the top of the St. Jude page:

Wow, what a way to end our St Jude's auction! You guys 'n' gals have come here in record numbers, bidding like crazy and y'all took down our "new and improved" super server!!!

Please be aware that the auction ended at 8:00pm, and only bids until then are valid.

NOTE - you may see front page times that are later than 8pm and those times were stamped during the machines slow and arduous shut down. Actual bid times show in the posts.

THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR A SCARY BUT AMAZING FINISH TO OUR 2007 TRAD GANG ST JUDES AUCTION! It's all for the kids and I think YOU folks outdid yerselves this year!

Thanx again,
Rob.

Terry, Rob, Doug and all the admins do this auction out of the goodness of their hearts, and I'm sure all of them are going to be working late into the night to wrap this all up. A system overload is really completely out of their control, but it does stress test the equipment.  :)

I'm sure there are some out there that will be disappointed, but it's a good lesson for all. Thanks again guys for all the hard  work that went into this.

now, I'm off to search for a second job to help pay for all this stuff.  :)

LOL, yep saw Robs post and truly am grtefully to him and Terry and all the people who keep my home away from home what it is. I am gonna take a wild guess,well not really but it is not official, just a guestamate, that we broke$70,000 for ST Judes. That is just humbeling, to think all of the great people on this site can come together and raise that kind of money is just priceless, THANK YOU ALL.
