We all know, Gary is NEVER to blame, it’s always someone else fault.. Isn’t it? Well no..
The site was running really slow for 90 minutes prior to the end of the auctions. Then about 15 minutes before the auctions were due to end Cloudflare blocked everyone.. (Cloudflare is tech to help websites with traffic etc.)
Then baldy told the tech in charge (Tom Swift) to shut the site down.
So why would this happen?
Despite the inevitable accusations of some of his follower that I had hacked the site. (I’m a geek and technical, but don’t have the skills to attack site, nor the interest.) There are a few simple reasons why the auction site went down.
CHEAP – This is exactly the same auction sofrware he was using 5 years ago, which Tom Swift setup on the server when I was trying to help him run it. Nothing has changed. It had problems 5 years ago and it still couldnt cope.. So yeah cheap. Plus baldy would have been cheap and not paid for powerful enough hosting.
GREEDY – Yeah, for sure. Baldy quit running his own auctions last year and NPPA did the auctions, with no issues. However we all know, despite him saying he doesn’t care about money, the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is, running his own bullshit auction saves him 22% AND also gives him direct access to see what peoples top bids are for pigeons..
STUPID – Dohh. Yeah. Just another total fuck up in the year of all fuckups for baldy twat face and the who dares we win race this year..
He guaranteed it wouldn’t happen next year.. Lets see how that goes.. Maybe he will go back to a professional auction site, Maybe he will actually launch WDWPigeonAuctions or whatever he was talking about in the summer.
So now, finally the site is back up, 24 hours later, hopefully Tom Swift has upped the budget and server and actually paid Cloudflare for help rather than be cheap and just use their free plan.
I feel bad for the pigeons, the bidders and the owners of the pigeons. But this is what you get with baldy.. a total fuck up ever step of the way..
Not his fault though. Tom Swift runs it.. Well Tom Swift does baldy says. so yeah, it is his fault.
In a year he has seen massive losses, screw up after screw up, let’s see what entries he gets next year.. I notice no guaranteed prize money, or even 1st prize money. Why? Well he has no clue how hes going to be supported. Let’s see how 2026 goes for the scumbag.
He only made the auction for 4 days. No coincidence that he made the auction finish at the same time as another very well supported OLR auction was finishing on the same auction site he used last year, that didn’t go down and went very well.
In the meantime, good luck to all the other UK OLRs, I imagine you will get an influx of new entries from people sick and tired of WDW, baldy and his bullshit…
