GSKT-00 GB Update
I would like to apologize for the confusion and the chaos. As I said before I wanted to have this GB here and I would like to be known as someone who sticks to my word.
I was unable to access GH starting at 4:25. Nothing would load on any browser I had, I was going to post the link to the form and have the entries disabled until 5. I kept refreshing and refreshing and nothing happened so I joined the mechkeys discord (which I have been in previously) and said I would post the form there.
I didn't want to postpone the buy because that felt unfair to people that were up outside their normal schedules to try to submit and I felt like there was good overlap between Geekhack users and Discord users.
So here's what's going to happen.
It would be unfair to cancel the orders of the people who already submitted albeit by my error in judgement, so i am keeping the first 200 boards from the Discord sale, but I am also going to post another form here and take the first 100 boards ordered.
The form will open at 5pm EST on January 22nd. I will update here with a list of users who have a spot in the first 200 before the new form is live. Anything I said on Discord about 250 units or anything else is nullified. There will be 200 Discord units and 100 Geekhack units.
That way the people who already ordered will have their submissions respected and those people who were trying to submit on Geekhack will still have a large enough chance.
I am willing to take on the substantial increase in order size so I can make it more fair to everyone and also as an apology for the way it unfolded. This will of course increase the lead time of the group buy by at least a month if not more, but it is something I am willing to do to make sure those people that were only on Geekhack had a chance, especially after me saying I would run it here only.
I did mean to run it here only and did not factor in people flooding Geekhack over 30 minutes early stopping me from uploading the form. I will upload the form a few minutes after this is posted and my inbox is open here and on Discord for any questions or concerns.
Thank you all.
