Oh well, off to bed! Will probably sign on one more time in the morning to hear back from everyone else, but after that I am moving on. Seriously, congrats to everyone who got an award! I'm glad the wait was worth it for at least a few of us.

Looking at my rating sheets was not the best plan. All I did was amp up my broader impacts this year and my ratings are actually significantly worse. This particularly disturbs me due to how close I probably was last year...

It's easiest to download the excel file and sort by field.

None at all in my field either. One of those things that would have been nice to know...

HM (again). Congrats to all the awardees! I'm bummed, but also strangely relieved that it's over...

AAAaaccckkk I can't see anything!!!!!

Yeah, that's what the non-beta site is currently doing. The beta site is a purple page with an error message.

Or straight from the bag-in-the-box...

Even after this all ends, I think I'll keep Higgins' first haiku up in my cubicle. It's a key feature of the decorations above my desk.

Me too. Sometimes it goes in and out though, so who knows...

Assuming results go out tonight, I refuse to check my email until I scope out the situation on this forum first. It will help prepare me for what is to come... P.S. In April, the site did not go down until about an hour into the time frame.

I think on April 10 the site was down from around midnight until about 1:15 a.m. At that point, the list got posted and emails started rolling out.

Actually, after checking, the rating sheet site is technically up again. However, the forgot password link takes you to "Page not found." A different exciting error every day!

I glanced at the html a little earlier and there wasn't anything extra there. That being said, I don't actually know how to do the trick. The whole ratings sheet site is down, so forgot password isn't doing anything right now.

That's because it's all going to go down tonight! I'm calling tonight/early tomorrow morning. Let's go with...245 additional awards (I will be so sad if tomorrow morning rolls around and I am still doing this).

Fair point. I agree.

Is anyone else going to feel a little lost and confused once this is all over? What will I do when there are no more websites to compulsively refresh? Work?

I think this is the end. Maybe I'll go home and nap in preparation for this evening.

From what people have posted, it's somewhere between 2000 and 2100. That being said, I think your new goal is totally feasible. Let's get to it!

I'm not sure they will post the results during a maintenance period this time. I know they did on April 10, but I don't remember that happening last year. Based on all the weird beta site shenanigans, I get the feeling they may have already prepared most of the info to release, and are just waiting for some final approval. Is that possible (I have essentially no in depth computer/Fastlane knowledge)? However, if another maintenance message does go up, I'm convinced it will mean the end of our suffering.

Over 3000 posts! I don't know whether to celebrate or cry.

And...

This was far and away my favorite exchange of the forum.

I really think we'll hear by Tuesday. Everything seems ready this time. And I also think we're going to make it to 200 pages/3000 posts!
