Probably right, but effectively turning off your website during one of the busiest online shopping periods while causing social media to promote it sounds like a funny way to sell stuff. More likely they wanted a small queue to get social media working for them but its backfired rather when they got flooded with lookey loos who created a real queue.THERE'S NO QUEUE

Do you think that they are turning people away (for more than an hour) just to create a false frenzy?
Bearing in mind, what they sell is available anywhere?
Didn't realise you people are still waiting, I've been in and had a look around already. Nothing worth buying so it was a bit of a pointless wait, on the plus side I now get straight in past security so I must still have the stamp on my cyber hand.
ETA: Take back the bit about the stamp, turns out it's worn off. It now states "Your queue number is no longer valid
Queue numbers are valid for 10 minutes. Unfortunately, your queue number has now expired. Click the button below to get a new place in the queue."

However, telling people that the queue is >1 hour is tantamount to telling customers to fk off.
Poor.

I work for a hosting company - it's what we do now cos servers crashing is bad for the customers reputation...having a nice orderly queue is good (apparently).

Better to load balance all the web servers with say 100 users each, than to have them crash.

Yeah, not having a go at you at all.I work for a hosting company - it's what we do now cos servers crashing is bad for the customers reputation...having a nice orderly queue is good (apparently).
As a punter (and IT punter, too) being told to wait for over an hour before being "allowed" to spend your hard-earned?
Well, fk off came the cry.
