so when does registration close because i wont have money for the primus pack until the beginning of march! What is my chances ill still get to go?

 

I did the same thing myself. Finally got mine to go through around 6:50 est. Luckily at work, we have a super duper fax/pinter/copier that can que many requests and keep redialing.

ITA about methods other than faxing.

OK, I'm going home now.

 

AMEN to that! That or allow us to scan the form and then email it to them.
Currently on try FAX try #21.

 

I know someone's already answered this, but for the benefit of others, remember to treat fax numbers the same as you would any regular telephone call. If you are dialing long-distance within the US, just add "1" to the area code. (Perhaps the fact that cell phones don't require this has added to the confusion, so perhaps I should say "treat fax numbers the same as you would land line telephone calls")

On the other hand, if you're calling from another country, you'd have to add "001" to the number (or, as someone pointed out, "+1", the "+" doing the "00" for you. We tend not to have "+" keys on our phones in the US, though)

Good luck, all!

 

Thanks for the heads up...I guess I might have to try again tomorrow.

 

Assuming packages don't sell out, registration won't close until rather close to the convention itself, but note the following from the
FAQ at BotCon.com:

 

Took me something like 50 tries to get in almsot 1.5hrs. Hope I'm the top 100 then I can get the PIN. woo-hoo.

 

now on Fax 50 ....UGH still not through

EDIT: 65 times and still not through, no answer, no answer

 

Got mine in a few minutes ago. Took 9 times to get thru tho. Someday FP will wake up to the 21st. century. I just hope I'm alive to see it.

 

just 9 times! UGH this is frustrating

 

Wow, I got through! After trying for over an hour.
Time stamp: 6:59pm EST

Here's hoping I got into the Thursday custom class
and that all goes ok with processing the form.

Can't wait to see ya'll again, well, at least some of ya'll!  

 

Same here. It all seems so expensive.  

 

Took me approx 100 tries to get through, but it finally took it...

Unfortunate that they goofed up on the dealer form... Guess that will have to wait until I return from vacation next week.

 

Yeah, if they're getting as much traffic as this, they can afford a few more fax machines-- I can't believe they only have one at a business like this in the first place. I'm not accepting any more excuses after last years' astounding attendance.

 

Well, took about an hour, but my wife got our forms in.

 

FINALLY got through, it said it sent but it didn't print me a copy so I thought that was weird though

Hopefully got the pin but probably didn't  

 

To be honest, doing that isn't all that cheap - On the other hand, there has to be some kind of Efax system they could move to.....

 

I wanted to go to the Thursday customizing class, but I bet it will fill up before I can register. If I send it in and the class gets full, I assume they will automatically bump me to the Wednesday one. If I can't be there on Wednesday, will they refund my money?

 

Finally got through after about 2 hours. D@MN!
