Gotta do a comment, and thats all.

"Enter the SWEEPSTAKES
We post new "OFFICIAL SWEEPS" threads every hour on the ½ hour until the last Sweeps at 5:30 PM EST and they''''ll stay open until MIDNIGHT EST! You can enter each Sweeps as many times as you want! To enter, simply post a reply in the thread."
 
The site was quite responsive in the past... Today it is choking?

Obviously they were not expecting a horde of CAGs today!

Free Kinect promotion == massive traffic increase == broken server


EDIT: just noticed it got posted over at SD... Poor, poor ParentsConnect site... :whistle2:#

Unlimited entries in the ping-pong ball guessing game was not a good idea... Someone guessed every possible number starting at 25? So, unless you got yours in before that person, don't bother. Over 5000 entries in that game already.
 
lmao, the site is still working fine for me- I'm just patient and give it time to load.

I just put on a pot of coffee anybody want some?

Thank god it's my off day.

The balls and stack ones were over like in a minute or two... The time it takes someone to submit a handful of entries that cover the entire possible range (i.e. 25 to 35 for the game stack?). The thousands of entries after that point are just a waste of time (and free hits/$$$ for the web site?).

The pin-ball game one, however, is going to be a luck one... The kid could really suck, and get like zero, or he could be good/lucky and get in the billions? Double-digit millions are definitely possible... So, if you guessed a number between 1 and 99,999,999 and you might still get lucky!!!

For the pinball one I that it was just the high score on the machine not the kid? So I was posting recorded high scores from a site I found.

The pinball machine was Simpsons Pinball Party btw.

"Dragon burned me to a crisp on demon's soul's, I lost a ton of souls" good times good times
 
The website is finally broken.

I guess a lot of people want to count marbles.

I'm in
I'm out (no guesses for me)
I can see the bowl or marbles now.

[quote name='Chemosh013']they need to have it one guess per account... it's insane that you can guess as many times as you want.[/QUOTE]

I don't think they were expecting us.
 
All the CAGs and SD'ers are killing the site...

At least with promos this short, there won't be much bot'ing going on... :whistle2:#
 
Holy crap, it is barely loading for me... bombardment!!

** some of these are kind of unfair when you can guess as many times as you would like and the server issues don't help either lol... I'll shoot for the sweepstakes ones I guess :)
 
Server's down:

This page does not work yet.


We're in the process of updating GoCityKids (for the first time in 8 years), and it's a little buggy at the moment. We expect it will be running smoothly again in the next day or so, and we'll then be able to start adding new features that will make it much easier for parents to find what they need, including the ability to sort by age of child, proximity, price, and search word(s). And we'll be updating the calendar as well - don't worry!

It still works. New contest just went up.
 
I kinda gave up at this point. Entered 3 of the posts maybe 7-8 times each. This was earlier in the morning when things weren't as hectic. Hoping for the best as usual.
 
[quote name='Naruto Uzumaki']It's not pompoms, but you're getting close!

what does that mean?[/QUOTE]
I think it's tomtom.
