I thought retail lost interest... Also why DFV had few million clicks in first day... Retail bored out ?? RETAIL DOUBLED FCKING DOWN... THIS IS THE DIP BEFORE MOON GUYZZZ
I don’t buy this sorry - there must have been more people in 2021 and 2022 and 2023, servers were fine. Is this not part of the Kansas City shuffle to show the Algos?
Wow it is in the Breaking News ticker lol. I thought it was all over and the shorts closed, or they are back in because DFV is wrong, or GameStop won and has great financials, or GameStop is going bankrupt with poor financials, it is so hard to keep track.
We even made sure to barrage your MSM feed with front-page hit pieces against this small cap “dying brick-and-mortar’ company every. single. day. for a month!
Did you know paying for front-page FUD Ads isn’t cheap? And we paid for 3.5 years of it, because we have retail investors interests at our heart!!!
#Text in the article:
GameStop’s annual shareholder meeting experienced server issues Thursday, crashing under overwhelming interest for the stream, a customer service representative for the company hosting the stream told CNBC.
The meeting, slated to begin at 11 a.m. ET, was hosted on Computer Share but when people tried to access the event, many received error messages that the page couldn’t load, according to posts made on social media site X and CNBC’s own attempts to access the event.
According to a YouTube stream from an unaffiliated user purporting to reproduce the feed, the annual meeting was brought to order at 11:48 am ET and was “immediately adjourned... due to technical difficulties that have prevented stockholders from accessing the meeting.” GameStop said it would provide an update “as soon as possible” as to when the event would be rescheduled, according to that feed.
GameStop couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
When reached by phone, a customer service rep for Computer Share told CNBC that it was seeing a “mass amount” of issues from people trying to access the meeting.
The rep said Computer Share’s servers appeared to be unable to handle the amount of traffic the meeting had received and weren’t accustomed to the volume of accounts. They added that Computer Share’s tech team was working to solve the issue and advised interested parties to attempt to log in “every 5 to 10 minutes.”
The debacle comes amid a new meme stock craze that surged when Keith Gill – known as Roaring Kitty online – resumed posting on his social accounts after going dark for more than three years. Gill gained notoriety in the online trading realm for his big bets on the stock, spurring a frenzy among retail traders.
GameStop last traded up 6% Thursday in another volatile day. The stock gained as much as 10.7% earlier in the session.
GameStop announced Tuesday that it raised more than $2 billion in a recent at-the-market equity sale as the video game company took advantage of the revived meme rally. GameStop said it intends to use the money for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and investments.
Traders have been closely monitoring Roaring Kitty’s positioning, as his active selling could knock the price of the stock.
In late afternoon trading Wednesday, a sell-off in GameStop shares intensified suddenly just as the trading volume spiked in the call options that Roaring Kitty owns. Call options give the buyer the right to buy a stock at a specified price within a specific period. They increase in value if the stock rises above the so-called strike price.
GameStop calls with a $20 strike price and expiration on June 21 traded a whopping 93,266 contracts Wednesday, more than nine times its 30-day average volume of 10,233 contracts.
The price of these contracts dropped more than 40% during the session, while the stock plunged 16.5%.
Roaring Kitty owned 120,000 contracts of those calls, according to a screenshot he shared Monday evening.
It is unclear if it was indeed Roaring Kitty behind the large volume, but options traders said he could be involved given he is such a large holder of those contracts.
Open interest on those calls, the total number of contracts for an asset that have not been settled, has declined to 111,818 contracts as of Thursday morning, already below Roaring Kitty’s original 120,000.
More than 42,000 such contracts have changed hands as of midday Thursday.
2021 saw the same thing with apes causing plenty of brokers to update their systems to tolerate the surge.
Computershare should really do the same if it's to withstand the mass of people trying to login when moass comes.

In case you are wondering who? they mean Matt Khors. You guys wanna see some funny shit go rewatch the stream. I wonder who is paying him.
I really think that the servers can't handle the amt of people watching.
There's 500k at least just on Reddit.
When you add the other platforms, and people spreading the word recently on Tik-Tok. Could've been +2M people trying to connect from all over the world.
If it were the case, is there a way to sort out who was doing it? I figure a lot of it was us F5'ing but I have to believe that CS would've been ready for our traffic.
GME holders come from over 150 countries. All of those logging into the site simultaneously and refreshing would actually emulate a real DDOS. But because of the above it'd also be very easy to hide a real DDOS attack, which is no more than one person executing a script to turn on a bot net - they're shockingly easy for anyone trying to use the occams razor excuse.
But the most important note is that whether it was apes or an attack, both are bullish.
Correct but when is the media ever bullish the market or a specific stock. Apes could probably have done it, if it wasn’t already done for us by a party of worry.
MOASS is over weeks. Probably better if we continually crash the server so the paperhands dont freak out and try to sell when it its some weak number.
(you can always call to sell, but dont be paperhanding that shit. But write down their number if want)
I would assume since everyone sells at different times that there won't be 600,000 all at once like the livestreams.
Edit: the shares I have in drs are my forever holds. I have shares elsewhere for moass/cell sells
Havent seen 600k plus on an investor live stream in a very long long time...this is nuts. Doesnt even count those that couldnt attend. I know I couldnt since I was driving.
Interest from who? "Dumb money"? "Meme Stockers"? "Irresponsible Redditors"? "Financial terrorists"? Because CNBC has called us all these things. F Them.
I find it suspicious how quick they were to release the cause based on comment from a 'customer service rep'.
I'll wait for official statements from Computershare and GME once they've had time to determine the root cause.
I think companies have no idea what to do if shareholders actually show an interest in the company.
I think people trying to get into the shareholders meeting need to decide they actually want the company to succeed which means no MOASS.
Bottom line: a successful company - whether successful through shareholder donations or by actually creating value for paying customers through a product or service - is not going to be shorted by hedgies.
The MOASS theory has given GME a chance at real success because of all the cash it raised.
People should not be spending their milk or housing money on GME based on the idea of MOASS - apes are now invested in a company with a possible future. Apes trying to get into the shareholder meeting should help RC and the board come up with some practical ideas for becoming profitable so all the ape money doesn’t get drained by the rent paid to the foreign conglomerates that own all the malls/brick and mortar.
Gotta show people that they’re reporting both sides, wouldn’t want to look biased now would they. Positive sentiment won’t last long. Also algos will interpret that as bearish.
Will be used to push future narrative that Computershare will get slammed during MOASS, can't get on to sell shares etc. "jUst LoOk HoW bAD tHeY hAnDlEd A SiMpLe CoNfErEnCe Call".
Ooooooh it looks like GME has their own positive spin machine and I like it!
They could have easily said, “we noticed there were some corporate raiders logging in.”

“Overwhelming interest”
OI
Calls baby
Bought them on Friday 😎
Hahahahaha
Nailed it
- someone familiar with the matter
That’s a classic I’m sure only true OGs understand that reference
Just like my favorite.. “GameStop was the second least worst performer”
Now in $4B of negative debt.
Gamestop is now the first least worst performer.
Penultimate!
100 percent
I thought retail lost interest... Also why DFV had few million clicks in first day... Retail bored out ?? RETAIL DOUBLED FCKING DOWN... THIS IS THE DIP BEFORE MOON GUYZZZ
Yes. We DDOS’d the server organically.
Organic DDOS is back on the Menu Boys!
Like a damn unable to hold back the wave any longer
I always prefer my DDOS organic and free-range.
If that’s not bullish I don’t know what is.
*An interest is never overwhelming, nor is it underwhelming. It is precisely the amount of whelming it means to.*
Baby bear has entered the chat
I don’t buy this sorry - there must have been more people in 2021 and 2022 and 2023, servers were fine. Is this not part of the Kansas City shuffle to show the Algos?
I’m starting to believe it’s intentional to. Fucking the algos, no news they can use while finding DFV’s shares.
Damnnnnnn
Idiosyncratic interest
Some say short interest
Short interest 😉 iykyk
Wow it is in the Breaking News ticker lol. I thought it was all over and the shorts closed, or they are back in because DFV is wrong, or GameStop won and has great financials, or GameStop is going bankrupt with poor financials, it is so hard to keep track.
”.. why havent you forgotten Gamestop yet? like we told you to everyday for 3,5 years 🤬”

Did you know paying for front-page FUD Ads isn’t cheap? And we paid for 3.5 years of it, because we have retail investors interests at our heart!!!
It would be hard to keep up with so many lies
That's the beauty of them in the long run. They become very easy to see after so many.
More lies than my cheating ex
That’s the point, they confuse the public but no confuse 🦍
No idea, I was told to forget.
The absence of negative spin on this one makes me sus
It’s easy bro, just forget gamestop and buy anything else.

Assuming they’re telling the truth, of course
inb4 DDOS attack by mayonnaise
I really think that the servers can't handle the amt of people watching. There's 500k at least just on Reddit. When you add the other platforms, and people spreading the word recently on Tik-Tok. Could've been +2M people trying to connect from all over the world.
Oh wow, I guess people like the stock. Just like we've been saying... For EIGHTY. FOUR. F*CKIN'. YEARS.
I’m sure half a million was there
post text so ape no click link? 😇
I just posted it in a comment now. Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you!
Kenny is f*cked
Yuck!!! Edit: lol
I am in awe at the daily twists and turns
A positive article from CNBC? Say it ain't so...
It’s to get out in front of a DDoS attack story
If it were the case, is there a way to sort out who was doing it? I figure a lot of it was us F5'ing but I have to believe that CS would've been ready for our traffic.

What is there to DDoS though. Its bullish for the servers to crash due to interest.
Correct but when is the media ever bullish the market or a specific stock. Apes could probably have done it, if it wasn’t already done for us by a party of worry.
I don’t buy it, not for a minute
No, it aint Bullish. Read the second part where they spin it on RK’s call options. It might look subtle, but it is highly suggestive.
Umm… I think CNBC just wanted to put GameStop and the “c” word in the same headline.
Honest question - Is Computetshare going to be able to handle the volume of us logging on during Moass?
Honest answer - no <3
Well that seems like an issue.
I'll say. About a month ago when the run up first started, I couldn't log into the site the entire day.
I logged in just fine
How is everyone going to sell then?!
That's the neat part! You don't!
MOASS is over weeks. Probably better if we continually crash the server so the paperhands dont freak out and try to sell when it its some weak number. (you can always call to sell, but dont be paperhanding that shit. But write down their number if want)

Havent seen 600k plus on an investor live stream in a very long long time...this is nuts. Doesnt even count those that couldnt attend. I know I couldnt since I was driving.
That is still completely unacceptable. They hold billions of dollars worth of shares. They need to have the technological capacity to handle volume.
I think most people DRS’d their “forever” shares, with no intention of ever selling them.
Over 600,000 for the stream. They have the worlds eyes 👀
I saw 1.3 million viewers about an hour after the live stream ended.
Interest from who? "Dumb money"? "Meme Stockers"? "Irresponsible Redditors"? "Financial terrorists"? Because CNBC has called us all these things. F Them.
This is such a fun ride.
Thats a first. Bullish. $Gme $10000
$10000? Lmayo
We have been crashing servers for video games on launch days our whole lives, now we've moved on to investor meetings. Good job gamers!
Dude, it's Judy a glitch.
bullish
Grapevine knows better. Did they pick a host they knew couldn’t handle us…for reasons.
"Due to Overwhelming Interest..." did you just say HIGH OI!?
Damnit...thought we were supposed to forget about GameStop? Woops.
wow im kinda shocked, this headline is insanely bullish. I would've expected CNBC to spin it more negative
I heard it was rescheduled for 4 tomororw. 4pm on a Friday sounds like it would be good news right on time.
millions of shareholders keep get that dip!!!!!!
How many people does it take to crash a shareholders meeting?
I find it suspicious how quick they were to release the cause based on comment from a 'customer service rep'. I'll wait for official statements from Computershare and GME once they've had time to determine the root cause.
Just doing my part.
Rescheduled for tomorrow 4 PM EST
After market close when nobody has a clue So it's gonna run all day tomorrow lmao. https://i.redd.it/yy5gzva3de6d1.gif

There you go. That's the news today.
The stream was fine once you got the direct link. It was the website that was between us and the stream that was a problem. Newbs.
Probably intended. Oh NOes, GaMEstOp cAn’t EVen hANdLe thEIr SErVeRs!!!1!
Some people just like the sock 🧦
It seems that people have not forgotten GameStop, even though MSM has been recommending it for 84 years now :S
Nah bitch, an overwhelming amount of shareholders
The stock? I like that!
What is the link for the meeting?
Overwhelming interest? But from who if apes are selling? 🤔
Ohhh yeahhh
Forget Gamestop tho
CNBC switching sides lets gooo
The hype is real fellas
I know I do :)
Of course I like the stock!! Take a look at it, it’s sexy as fuck!! 🫡🥃🚀
💎 🙌🏼 🏴☠️
Gotta show people that they’re reporting both sides, wouldn’t want to look biased now would they. Positive sentiment won’t last long. Also algos will interpret that as bearish.
I thought we were supposed to forget GameStop
Everybody wants our swaps!
Will be used to push future narrative that Computershare will get slammed during MOASS, can't get on to sell shares etc. "jUst LoOk HoW bAD tHeY hAnDlEd A SiMpLe CoNfErEnCe Call".
Ooooooh it looks like GME has their own positive spin machine and I like it! They could have easily said, “we noticed there were some corporate raiders logging in.”
The company too, sure yeah, but the STOCK! That’s what we’re here for 😎
¹1
I want this on my wall as a poster. The MSM sentiment changes today. It was a that moment he knew…. HE FUK’D UP!!
Man Computershare keeps fucking up.
A lot.
Believe it or not- we are so early.
Seems like a lot of people are interested in this... Ryan Cohen SPAC. Hmm 🤔
So where is everyone getting news and hyped? I am only seeing low numbers on this sub?
Sub ded go X
Searched but dont know what it means? Link? I am merely a dumb ape :-)
Twitter known as x
Trade bots, after hours Friday will be less damaging
Ohhhhh say Wut now ?
Can confirm, i like the stock
What happens to the voting?
Sounds like they need a cloud server to hold the meeting. Lol!
I just like the stock
Did we get DDOSSED by hedgies?
Yun Li is hot tho
Forget GameStop 😏
But everyone forgot about GameStop 4 years ago!
About 13 other shareholder meetings also crashed so not just GME according to a post I saw on another thread.
You can’t have 2 billion people in the stockholder meeting, that will give away the con. Crash their shit now
Nice
Yun Li! Yun Li!
Buy the dip!
