Char123 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Lol some kid said he got the grfp on the results page today. nsf_weiner and BioBum 2
BioBum Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Lol some kid said he got the grfp on the results page today. That's seriously impressive. He must have been an incredibly qualified applicant, far superior than any other GRFP applicant. Not going to lie, I still checked fastlane. Hangs head in shame.

loginofpscl Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Congratulations! I'm sure everyone would appreciate at least a screenshot proof or your email @nsf_weiner Edited March 26, 2014 by loginofpscl nsf_weiner, dcampos6398, stmwap and 2 others 5
dcampos6398 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 a couple of people claiming that they have won in the last few hours. Is it happening?
DSYIII Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I'm a first timer, so i'm not entirely sure how this is supposed to work. If people are actually getting emails, is it safe to say this is a large break from historical precedent?
mdog3000 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure NSF_WEINER is joking (as obviously it's a fake account with only one post). Har Har But also, where are people claiming this? Edited March 26, 2014 by mdog3000
BioBum Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) a couple of people claiming that they have won in the last few hours. Is it happening? I doubt it, it would be very out of the ordinary for NSF to notify this way. All past sources indicate that the first thing that happens is that the fastlane site goes down for "maintenance". When the site goes live again, the results are posted here https://www.fastlane...loadAwardeeList. Usually the website goes down at some awful hour in the morning, I've seen 2 - 5 AM EST as favorites. The other option is to wait until NSF emails the decision later that day. It would be very unorthodox for notifications to be sent out this way. Just my two cents. Edited March 27, 2014 by BioBum

Just so no one freaks out: the correct link is https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/grfp/AwardeeList.do?method=loadAwardeeList and it is, as of this post, NOT down. The link by BioBum is missing a command and the script doesn't have a way to handle it, hence the error. stmwap, BioBum and marty3 3

Maybe, they changed the notification process as well. Still holding out hope for the best. Congrats to all the winners!

guttata Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 So many trolls... So many dumb people... It does not surprise me, they did do the application process differently this year. Maybe, they changed the notification process as well. Still holding out hope for the best. Congrats to all the winners! Lol. BioBum, guttata, Indie_soul and 3 others 5 1
stmwap Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 So many dumb people... Lol. First the "additional 1 pg statement" hoax and now this? What good does lying do for these people? Maybe they get some sort of weird joy from seeing all these other people freak out, I guess. Josh70 1
Monochrome Spring Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 You all jump so easily. Makes it easy for people to troll you. Cheap entertainment. loginofpscl and budgie 1 1

Maybe they get some sort of weird joy from seeing all these other people freak out, I guess. I think people enjoy watching others freak out. It did drum up some excitement on this page.
Josh70 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 You all jump so easily. Makes it easy for people to troll you. Cheap entertainment. I don't understand how that is entertainment for others though. Seems to me only a sad and pathetic person would see that as entertaining. giles, clandry, fosgfp and 1 other 3 1
stmwap Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Meh. It's pretty pathetic to get all worked up about it, too, though. Josh70, Monochrome Spring, baron23 and 6 others 3 6

DSYIII Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Can we all go back to worrying about when they're going to announce winners yet? jmu, blackpeppered and Josh70 3
pyroknife Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Are all of you a bunch of cry baby pussies or what? You guys are what? At least 22 and still bitch about these trivial things? pathetic Char123, unbrokenthread, Pol and 12 others 4 11
