I've been busy with my Junior show this week and haven't checked online in a few days. I'm glad I didn't miss a new piece of original OG art.

10 minutes is not fast. you obviously weren't around for the paypal buy it now button days when prints would sell out in seconds... and even if you happen to see the paypal button and pay for it didn't mean you were getting it.

That's a different scenario considering everyone knew of the exact drop time, 12 noon PST.

so is that when they oversold each print and then refunded?
did the server grind to a halt then too or is that just since zen cart?

Ryan over et media temple is hooking us up and really working on our server crashing issues.

We are going to try this next poster release to do it at the exact time that we say we are going to do it. Just so we can test out some of the server / shopping cart stuff.

If it all runs good, your going to wish that we did random drops.
