Server Crashing for 150th Shiloh BGA registration

[Shortround]

Hi All,

There is a problem with the server at the 150th BGA registration. It seems there is a last minute rush to register but Pay-Pall limits the submission to 500/day. So, it's coming back with a registration error, a screen dump is made, and your information is lost.

I'm registered by my 18 year old son isn't.

So, I hope the folks at the BGA will fix this mess. If 500 reenactors can't register today that will not be nice.

Does not seem to be any problems getting on the site. If there is a problem, I am sure the folks in charge of the site will get fixed ASAP.

The problem was indeed intermittant and due to volume.

It's repaired and our bandwidth level increased.

Mail ins should have been post marked by today.

Electronics must be done by this coming Friday. If Johnny-Come-Latelies crash the thing again, they will be slam out of luck.

After that, staff will be loading up and moving to the site.

Thanks so much for your kind and professional reply. I'm glad you saw the problem raised in the thread and how that could hurt fellow reenactors.

Nothing like procrastinating and waiting until the last minute.....those of use who registered months ago had no trouble registering.....and provided an improved head count for renting, buying, staging resources on site..... at least this event didn't get cancelled due to not enough earlier registrations....as some others have....

I can personally say that in this situation the "registrant" was finially able to secure the time and means to participate and the participant is in my company. As a matter of fact I just registered one other tonight from my company to which the circumstances were nearly identical.

It had nothing to do with procrastination. And I am thankful and fortunate they can now attend and experience this "mountain-top experience" event.

Organizers love when people wait till the last minute.

If this was any of your business the registration was for my teenage son who decided to attend the even with me. Second, there was a real software problem with the site. I had registered months past.
