PDOException: SQLSTATE[08004] [1040] Too many connections in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /var/www/public/includes/lock.inc).IMO ozbargain members should be able to see deals 5 mins or something before all the guests bum rush it and crash the site.
Yes, agree
I agree with this as well, it's only fair.
Excellent suggestion +1
IMO what about the people who got the Masters email? Should they be more entitled?
Ozbargained!

I only just used my gift card from last year yesterday online on something I didn't need since it was due to expire today…
grrrr, site crashed
Hi everyone, thanks for jumping on this - we've had so many people join so quickly.
We are just getting it updated, won't be long.
Thanks!
How do we know if we qualify for the $20 card?
Masters is dead, can it become alive again?
Yet another Promo fail due to insufficient IT capabilities… Shame as I really like Masters and this would be a great bargain!
reset the server
Guess we'll have to be on refresh all day….
Thanks got in too.
Well done, you’ve taken the first step to finishing your project by making a pledge.
Now it’s time to don your daggy shorts and get started on your project. Don’t forget to watch the post for your $20 Gift Card.Good deal crappy website.
what project number are you guys? i'm under 500 so i assume i get a card :)
so I have to make new acc for this ? not usual masters acc ?
Finally got one after lots of refreshing.
Ozbargain: killer of servers. IT depts / web developers must hate us.
thank you!
i pledge to grow some weed
My email came through #465
Where did it say the #465 ? I can't see in my email.
Once again I really wish ozbargain had a "members only" or "only viewable for people who have previously posted deals on ozbargain" option. For use on deals like this where the website has been ozbargained.
There are currently only 571 Members and 2791 Guests logged in.
Looks like Ozbargain has better IT capability then masters
The master becomes the student
Why complain, there have been numerous times on here throughout the year to sign up to Masters.
Is it not fair, someone like myself who gets their emails, and still misses out?
It's bad luck on me, and bad luck on you for missing out. It sucks.
It should not be a deal for 'previous posters'. Silly idea and no way it could possibly be implemented into this site.
Snooze you lose. Same as Coke Rewards, sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
I think my e-mail came through, but how do we know we got the voucher?
once you register i think you still need to press the pledge button
Done all that. Got the e-mail and it said what others had posted below…
edit: they post it to you via mail?
The email contains the text 'Don’t forget to watch the post for your $20 Gift Card.'
The email says:
Now it’s time to don your daggy shorts and get started on your project. Don’t forget to watch the post for your $20 Gift Card.
So to know for sure I guess you have to wait for it to show up in the post but I'd say provided you received the confirmation everything should be fine.
Thanks i got in too!
Well done, you’ve taken the first step to finishing your project by making a pledge.
Now it’s time to don your daggy shorts and get started on your project. Don’t forget to watch the post for your $20 Gift Card.With a bit of persistence, I registered, made a pledge and received an email to "watch the post for your $20 Gift Card".
Site seems to have crashed again.
Ah, can't be bothered trying several times atm. But thanks, OP.
Woo hoo! Managed to score one!
Stuck at that add project stage….having lotsa fun.
EDIT: done, #588.
How did u guys managed to get one? mine keep getting timeout message
Persistence, just keep refreshing.

I got one, but was staring at my screen pressing F5 for quite a while.

Masters should just send OzBargain the 2000 coupon codes to be distributed. I'm pretty sure this campaign wouldn't have been as effective as they'd hoped last time. I bought groceries.
It's a giftcard, not a coupon so that won't work really well :)
I managed to log in, but when I clicked "pledge" it said "maximum pledges". I have not made any pledges, nor registered for last year in this name, so either (1) it has recognised my address from last year, or (2) all 2000 have been claimed, or (3) I'm reading this wrong…

I have no chance of getting everything done by aussie day as the project i have in mind is doing up a whole house and backyard but the $20 voucher will help a lot.
Thanks a lot OP!

Accepted my Pledge to grow weed…. just need to upload pics of some weed
Thanks..masters and OP
I managed to submit a pledge, but have not yet loaded a photo.
Didn't have to last time, doubt you do this time.
I think you need to upload a photo to be eligible for the $500 prize not the $20 gift card.
