Same here. I'm showing up anyway.

I've rarely seen 6 words that reflect the entrepreneurial spirit so well as this post.

Did anybody who got the acceptance letter end up at a page denoting that they were accepted? Or is everyone who got the acceptance email getting to the rejection page?

It sounds like frisco did on at least the first try - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=870866

The most logical explanation I've seen is that the page was counting all views towards the total instead of only accepted RSVPs or something - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=871201

I first got a rejection, then tried about 10 minutes later and got the accepted page. So... wait around and try again.
