That sounds like something even I could do, Bruce. I think Cold One has a computer that automatically does all this for him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I am going to be giving away a hog secret here.....but we have no secrets here : )
The only thing to be aware of with this method is at least look at the number of views and replies in the new "call to action" thread to make sure it is legit.
Many deceptive hogs have brought very old threads to life minutes before show time to throw the rookies off. At first glance, it looks like all of a sudden a "Go" thread has popped up, by the correct author and everything, only to be phoney. And, it has worked. That's why the hogs are ruthless : )

I think we'd have to ban a Hog for doing that in the Yard - which is an honest community <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Good call though. Be sure and check the reply #'s...

I think he waves his hand like people do at their butler or waiter or something. Kind of a snoody wave. Then his computer refreshes, checks for the new post, if its there, it either sends the email, or opens the order page, fills in all of his info, and places the order. I think that his fastest order time was 0.83 seconds after the "Go."

You were smokin' BLD. I don't know what Kraz's best time was, but it was at least that fast (30 some seconds), and he was using the ORDER PAGE!!! He really does program his credit card info and all of that in to his keyboard - I wanna say it was DM night where he was hands down the fastest of all of us.
Great pointers though - especially about not opening the thread. I always do, just to see if there's going to be a "password" in there, or something tricky, but there hasn't been one yet...

Apparently I was so quick in e-mailing my order to Patti after Dan opened the store last night that even he was impressed. I was in and out in no more than 36 seconds. So I thought I'd share my technique with the rest of the Dogs so when Dan has another ganza, more of us will be able to score.
Obviously, you've got to have your order ready to go BEFORE the store opens. That's easily enough accomplished. Just read what Dan says in the 24 hour notice and prepare an e-mail order to his precise specifications beforehand. Then all you should have to do when the time comes is press the SEND button. The trick, of course, is knowing when to send it.
Here's the key:
First, make sure that threads are being sorted by LAST POST in descending order. (That's the default, so it should already be set up that way.) Refresh (F5) the forum in regular intervals. 5- to 10-second intervals should be sufficient. As you do that, keep an eye out for a NEW THREAD in the SECOND THREAD position on the first page. (The first thread position permanently belongs to the Knives 'n Gear Pics Only sticky.) When Dan gets ready to open the store, he'll post a new thread with distinct features in three of the columns:
Column 1, Subject: The subject will contain a call to action. Look for words like "OPEN" or "NOW" or "GO" or "BEGIN".
Column 2, Poster: The Poster will be Dumpster Dan.
Column 6, Last Post: The Last Post will be from Dumpster Dan.
When that thread appears, DO NOT OPEN IT!!! You'll just be wasting time. Immediately send the e-mail order to Patti that you prepared beforehand. Then watch for the Auto-Response to appear in your inbox. If it doesn't show up in a reasonable amount of time, send your order again. Repeat until you receive the Auto-Response. It's the ONLY evidence you'll have that the store received your order.
Good luck.
That is all. Very Good, I wondered how you responded that fast! Dan

Hey, I'm still the most consistent dawg. I believe I have been in the top ten in every bowl since the SS4 came out(both times). I didn't do the last one though.

As Bors likes to say, when the bowl is dropped there are only two kinds of dogs . . . the quick and the hungry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I think I got in about 30 seconds behind you. I hope that was good enough. Has Patti e-mailed you yet? I only received her auto e-mail. I am getting anxious to get my meat paws on a Hook! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

"okay, first you gotta get some cologne. and not that cheap stuff either, chicks know the difference between a $5 bottle and $45 bottle..."

With 31 years of marriage behind me, it's been awhile since I thought along those lines . . . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> 31 years, congratulations! you're a dying breed. my wife and i have been together for over 10 years, but only married for 2. i can't see not making 31 years. it saddens me that i already have divorced friends and friends in the midst of nasty divorces, and most of them haven't hit 30 yet.
