Dr Pepper bitchslapped

[GypsySoul]

I was one of the few people who was able to register online on the 23rd.

I'm glad I was only planning on saving the coupon as a souvenir because I think it'll probably be expired before I actually receive it.

guess jarmo knew that.

silly me trusted dr pepper. thought they were honest fans. they betrayed my confidence.

apparently axls as well. and most importantly dr pepper fans.

yea they have 2 do something 2 make up 4 it

Yeah I saw they sponsor a one off show for Gnr and the fans.  Kind of like a accoustic show ala... 06

do they? then I suppose it will restore confidence in the beverage company again.

Setting up a server for that kind of event is VERY hard.

The company behind it doesn't want it to overload, but they don't really want to charge Dr. Pepper for excessive bandwidth amount, which probably isn't cheap.

They probably just got surprised by the amount of traffic they got, but I do still think they should apologize.

They knew exactly how much trafic they were going 2 get and that was the point they put up the shity server so no 1 could get through the forum part and get there free Dr. Pepper

Great point, but I didn't say that.

makane did.

I got a phone call today from Dr. Pepper asking "using a 5 point scale, rate your overall satisfaction with the most recent service you received from Dr. Pepper consumer relations."

It's probably a good thing that they got the answering machine.

[jazjme]

I got mine in the mail today.

[GNR4L]

Nope still waiting for mine ! what does it look like ?

[Sukie]

Ugh!  Guess this means that I will actually have to go through all the junk mail piled up on the counter, huh?  I wasn't expecting it so soon.  I might have gotten mine and just don't know it.  ha

In the fine print companies are so fond of using, it should say "to those who were able to register."
