«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 456 of 4565 hours from now... Tiem to get some rest
Hello,
So, due to increased demand and web traffic, i will no longer be selling stuff on tstout.com. THE SALE ON MY SITE (which is crashed) IS CANCELED. New sale instructions to follow. normally i hate changing plans in mid-sale, but i don't see tstout.com not being crashed for hours and hours to come, and i don't want you wasting more of your time refreshing it.
instead, i will relay sale information via this mailing list. So, now would be the time to unsubscribe (see bottom of this email, click SafeUnsubscribe and that's it, no more emails from me). if you're just interested in getting an email from me once every so often, this is not the mailing list to be on. it is only for those interested in getting constant sale instructions from me. during a sale week you may get up to 3 or 4. i hate doing it, but i can't keep up with the site crashings and emails from frustrated customers.
so, fair warning. i won't hold it against you if you unsubscribe. otherwise i'll assume you like getting several emails from me in a short span of time. no need to email and say 'keep me on your mailing list', just don't unsubscribe and you'll stay on it.
REGARDING THE LOST POSTER SALE
at 8PM TONIGHT PST (about 5 hours from now), i will send out an email to my mailing listers. in it, i will have the lost question. As well as the EMAIL ADDRESS to email your answer to. Please DO NOT email me at Tyler@tstout.com with your answer, i will provide the email address in the email.

it might be the same way for the phish poster sale tomorrow, so expect another email. and one Wednesday with the monster squad sale info.
my apologies to those of you that have spent the past 2 hours refreshing tstout.com. i have spent the past 2 hours trying to upload the lost info. this mailing list idea is to avoid wasting more of your time.
TONIGHT, 8 PM PST, check your email.
thanks again,
best

*i know these emails are lengthy and convoluted, the simple fact is i am just not that great at these poster sales. i like making posters, i'm just not great at selling them. i get a ton of email and try to answer everyone's questions, which is also why i pack all this info into emails, since i figure if i don't, people will ask them. thanks for your understanding.
just got the email
wow...
so glad i just wasted two hours of my life.
Like he didnt know at 2 hours ago when it was crashed?!
if we're not already on the mailing list, how do we subscribe?
I don't look at it like 2 hours wasted... I look at it like getting to hang out with my friends for a couple hours... :-)
Guess we'll all be back on later to see what happens when his mail server crashes... hahaha!
Here's what I would love Eric Tan to do.
Post a website update at a pre set advertised time.
To get a chance to win one, you have 108 minutes to answer three questions and send an email. No first come first served.
The email must contain the correct answers to three Lost questions that would not show up on a google search.
In other words, you have to know the show, or know what episode to check to get it. Flippers would be stuffed. Every reasonable lost fan would stand a chance.
Then a lottery of the correct entrants in the 108 minutes.
Oh well. I shall be asleep as will anyone else in the UK that wanted one. Night all.
That is a pretty cool idea, ioioos…
you should pitch that Erics blog…
C'est pas vrai!
@ Stout - if you read this, thanks for the heads up and trying to make this work as best as possible.
Sorry everyone - I would have emailed that but I figure he doesn't need another email right now. LOL
I'm just happy to have the next two hours to actually get some work done.
Well, they screws it up for Europeans then. Bet he didn't think of that.
Isn't it "Ce n'est pas vrai!"? ;)
Well I've been working on my squid so I can't complain too much. I'm sure he didn't notify sooner because he was HOPING it would start working and he could take care of it.
@ ioioos um, aside from the 108 minutes, how exactly is that any different from what tyler is doing today?
ioioos, not a bad idea. Except EVERYTHING is on google now and if its a hard question and isn't on google, then people like me would be also stuffed.
Well, this are desperate times, ioioos.
I think Tyler is doing the best he can right now.
And now the sire runs like a champ!!! lol.
I assure he choose 1-3PM because he didn't want to screw out Europeans.
Now it's obvious that he didn't think about it, with all this mess going around.
If you are VERY losties..... well, 4.45AM, waking up time :D
**site
@midday
Today's is still first come first served. Which causes the overload.
Middayshadows, Ioioos's idea is more of a raffle rather than a first come, first served basis.
Imagine you have to get up every 108 minutes to push a damn button!
Tyler for all his efforts in trying to do this right, has got this BADLY wrong. It is in short, as us English say, a cock-up.
No UK fans can get this now, which is a shame.
Oh well, let's hope Danger and Tan's are more accomodating...
only mailing list will get it now? that should eliminate the flipppers? since only previous email listers will know what to do now?
Anne 'Ce n'est pas vrai' is more formal...'c'est pas vrai' is more commonly used in this type of situation...when you've just got bad news ;)
hey, everyone's gone to the bathroom I guess...
Haha... flippers will be even more in full force because they're all on his mailing list AND they know the exact time so its much less of a commitment to snag one.
Lol, email listers AND people who are reading Lostargers.
Much as I love Tyler's work, I'm not staying up to 4am GMT for this. I have someone pitching a big presentation to me at 9am. I want to a least seam partly awake for it.
...but how would that change 3000 people checking in on his site, slowing it down like today , at that "predetermined time..?"
Yeah...I don't think many Europeans will be up for this :(
Ohh, I love my clients sleep-deprived, ioioos!
so 8 PST damn I hope I get this that's going to be 11 EST for me.
Thorsten.
I actually did fall asleep when a supplier presented to me once. I had been at a 2am Prince aftershow concert and had 1 hours sleep. I was horrified. They had done so much work.
I promised myself, never again!
I hope you gave them the account to make up ioioos
Feel sorry for Tyler. I don't think any of the artists expected this. They are trying to do the best they can.
I think the email is a good solution.
I'm here but couldn't even get on the tstout site at all.
I once pitched a new CI to the board of a big company, I had only two days to prepare, so I went in there with just my one big idea, and a lot of empty paper.
I pretended to have alternatives, that I did not show because I managed to sell them on my single shot.
Got the job ;))
I've created a NEW POST for the new information.
Nice illusion Thorsten!
Ever watched Derren Brown?
The pitch looked like this…
Again the curse of my broadband provider has locked me down...
@midday.
Multiple site news flash. His own site, here and omgposters. Mailing list too.
Similar to tonight, but without the first come first served and questions that a broad spectrum of fans could answer, but google couldn't, such as:
physicists rodent?
Pen is Des's c--------?
"We're not going to ? are we?"
@ Thorsten
I'd be impressed. My management style is more like this...

There's got to be a better angle, ioioos!
Is anyone else having trouble logging onto the poster site to buy WK?
Beve, the site for Walts Kidnapping has been down all morning. Looks like it is crashed at the moment. Let's hope it is back up within the next 3 hours!
Thx Jackblack! You are hilarious by the way. Loved the guest spot on 'Community' :P
The price on this was $150. I got right in and was able to purchase 1! Finally got one of these, I have tried so many of these second chance sales!
12:00:41
Hi I haven't got the full total at the moment but I can announce that we have now got over $1000.
Hopefully I'll get you a more accurate total tomorrow.
Also tomorrow is the announcement of the prize 7 winner.
Good night all.
Wahoo. Way to go guys!
FOR EVERYONE WHO MISSED OUT ON WALT'S KIDNAPPING:
