Okay, the winners are as follows:

Kingofgames
Kota
ShadowRayquaza
Eviiil
Wildabeast
first_pokemaster

Congratulations! =)

Tomorrow's giveaway is Deoxys.

*EDIT* Yah I was thinking that too, you don't think its possible that *MY* giveaway is causing the problems do you? That would be awful and I'd hate to have to discontinue doing the giveaway. It seems awfully coincidental that it occurs at the TWO times that I do the giveaway =x

Then all that "its not Kat's fault that the board is being so messed up" would not be true!

kingofgames157 May 17th, 2007 3:21 PM

Yeah, the forum does crash because of this giveaway. Or, more accurately, because of the people wanting to be one of the six.

If you notice about 10-20 minutes before Kateena is due to post, there are usually 10-12 people in the thread. And those people are clearly constantly clicking 'refresh' on their browsers, causing the entire to reload for them, putting strain on the server.

And as any member who's been around here long enough will tell you, this server isn't all that strong at the best of times.

Sad, but true.

first_pokemaster May 17th, 2007 3:21 PM

thank you posted in the nick of time

Kateena May 17th, 2007 3:25 PM

Yes I will keep doing shiny mew on Monday as long as people want it but to answer your other question, no, if you have already won a shiny mew you cannot win another one.

Ok if my giveaway is really what is causing this problem that doesn't make me happy. I don't want to be the cause of frustration and aside from that its not fair to all the other users of the board. What do you think I should do about that? I don't want to continue to cause all that trouble for the board.

kingofgames157 May 17th, 2007 3:25 PM

i should shut my mouth
= x

evilllllll May 17th, 2007 3:25 PM

beginner's luck I suppose..=)

Kota May 17th, 2007 3:31 PM

Kat, I gave back Z's Shiney Mew because. I'm getting rid of all my legends.. I'm not going to rely on them anymore. They'll be handouts for the few I have. Thanks for helping me.

I'm going to use normal pokemon now. Not one legend. I'll still come out on top though ;). As for breeding wise. I'm done. Thanks everyone for helping me.

Kateena May 17th, 2007 3:36 PM

Ok Kota.

ShadowRayq - Zrinja is waiting for you to apply to his trade.

shadow rayquaza May 17th, 2007 3:43 PM

Sorry I was out ATVing with Dad...

I don't think anyone would want that. And it'd be a huge shame to lose this little giveaway. Therefore, we're all going to have to put up with it until the admins eventually move to a stronger server.

Although, I can think of one way that might remove some of the pressure on the server, though I doubt many people would like the suggestion. Basically, instead of doing the giveaway at 3.30pm, or as close to that as possible, doing it at any time between 3pm and 4pm. So there's an entire hour where you could start the giveaway. That should prevent people from just lingering in the thread, refreshing the page for 10 minutes.

But, as I said, I doubt many, if any, people would like that idea.

Kateena May 17th, 2007 4:00 PM

Well I like that idea but, would it really solve the problem I'd hope it would. I dunno about others not liking the idea, I mean...its better than dealing with all the frustration, wouldn't you think? And actually this is kind of how I had intended it to be in the beginning, but thought it was kind of unfair for people to never know for sure when it was actually going to happen and a little more predicatability would help.

I'd be open to at least discussing it or any other ideas anyone might have and seeing how people feel about it.

I would also hate to have to stop the giveaway, it really does give me a lot of pleasure to help so many people with getting hard to obtain pokemon and I think that its fun.

Anyway, what do the rest of you think?

*EDIT* Anyway, tomorrow is Deoxys. For next week I am not sure what to offer up, I think the consensus is another *shiny* mew monday...What about for the other days? I figure maybe the same options as before?

3 legendary birds
3 legendary dogs
3 kanto starters
3 jhoto starters
3 hoenn starters
3 regi's
latios
latias
ho-oh
lugia
celebi
jirachi
deoxys
shiny dratini
shiny charmander
shiny rayquaza
groudon
kyogre
mewtwo

I'll keep the discussion for that open until Sunday and then make the decision, and I will *try* to pick the ones I think the most people want. Don't make this painful though hehe I hope that there's a common desire for specific pokemon =)

kingofgames157 May 17th, 2007 4:09 PM

EXACT TIME
i always seem to land in 1st place or 3rd place
i usually unlag and be the first person to post and then the site lags
that kinda helps me in a way
= D

EVERYONE WANTS 1ST PRIZE >.<

Demon3000 May 17th, 2007 4:31 PM

Kat, a normally functioning forum should be able to take 13 people at once, maybe you could move this whole thing to another Pokémonforum/site?

shadow rayquaza May 17th, 2007 4:31 PM

I vote for shiny Mew then Mewtwo,Kyogre,Latios, and Shiny Rayquaza that's just my opinion though.

RazorbladeMK2 May 17th, 2007 4:35 PM

I say
Monday: shiny mew
Tuesday:shiny dratini
wednesday:shiny charmander
thursday:shiny rayquaza
friday:deoxys
And as for time any time is good to me.
i like legacy's suggestion.
Another way is to make a forum for the thing. Forums are easy to make too but i guess thats not a good suggestion

i agree with this but i dont like it to run for an hour. Right now its good except it crashes everyone
on the forum.
I like these choices for next week shinys are hard to get

Kateena May 17th, 2007 5:09 PM

Hubby suggested something like that too (another forum) I have my own forum (webspace) but it has alot of personal info there along with RL friends and such and I don't know if it would be too much traffic.

I could make an EZboard or something (HATE Ezboard) but it would serve its purpose. Problem is I really don't want to do that. I like this community and I really want it to be open to everyone here not just a select few.

Well we'll keep discussing the options. Should I talk to an admin/mod about it? I just feel horrible knowing that I may be causing the problem, and not just for the people involved in this thread but all the other users that are suffering cuz of it =x
