Site Outage
I’m sure you noticed the site outage? One of our database servers died which meant we lost the site between 7:45pm and 8:25pm.
We extended all auctions by 2 hours that were due to close while the site was down or due to close in the hour after we came back. We’re really sorry for this and will do everything we can to prevent it happening again.
