Most people login as soon as they can, it's a very popular figure ...

 

[iambored]

i didnt know where to post this so i posted it on the most viewed thread!

well i think i'll sign up, but coz i'll go bak to HK straight after my Eco Exam, so i think also cram up at about 3am (HK time) which is 6am Aussie time and keep on clicking the refresh button of the browser........

Everyone was going on about how it goes so slowly because there are so many people logged on at once, but when i checked mine (at about 6am) it was working normal speed. I also remember going back in there at about 9am to see if it'd be heaps slow, and it wasn't-it was as fast as before.
No refreshing or reconnecting necessary.

i'm going to be in the pub, not at my computer.... and i don't think a whole dollar.ten is gonna break the bank here, it sounds like a good service.... this way if i don't like it i can send nasty messages back in reply... like, hey! i deserve more marks than this! so what if i never studdied! dammitt!

 

[Dave85]

hey is the net really slow on the morning of results?? even if i went on at like 7am or something? I thought it wud still b normal.

 

[Styled n Slick]

I beleive a bit of stress relief will do good that morning! hehehehe... jokes.
But how crazy would it be if u woke up to an sms, it said through blurry tired eyes 96-UAI, but ends up youve held the damn fone upside down and it was really 69... whew, i cant wait to get that message. HSC here we come!

 

[FunkmistrssDina]

Um... 96 upside-down is still 96

(sorry to burst your bubble!)

However, seeing 99 and then realising it was 66 would be what you mean I think.


Am I a bitch?

I'd love to get an sms with my results. Easier to dis-regard them than if its in a letter. But are you sure this is real? Cause I'm sure we would have heard something official by now, letter or real BOS site anouncement or something... I know the papers talked about it, but I don't believe everything I read.
