Goldin Auctions Down?

Why did I extend, why didn't I extend more etc. I think part of the problem is that Cloudflare, who almost every provider uses, can't seem to tell the difference between a DDOS attack and the uptick in business an auction always sees at the end. It's one of the few advantages to being smaller, my auctions don't tilt the game, so to speak.

That's a pretty informative post - thanks!

Well, we can ONLY hope that WHEN they re-open, the auction service provider has their collective shit together and won't allow this to turn into a bigger mess than it has become.
