Thread Title: "Server Outage....."
AuctionArmsCeo Our apologies. We've had some difficulty with a database server, but seem to have ironed things out. After pounding on a machine in our data center for the last twelve hours, I seem to have lost some coherence, so please bear with me. We were forced to restore from a backup taken in the early AM hours of the 15th, so if you posted an auction at all yesterday, I'm sorry to report that we were unable to recover that data. All auctions that were scheduled to end during our downtime have been rescheduled to end at 8PM, this evening.

If you submitted a bid between 2AM and 4PM on the 15th, please take a look at the auction to make sure that the High Bidder is correctly displayed. If you see anything unusual, please give us a holler and we'll make it right.

Thankyou for bearing with us as we get this all sorted out. Everything is currently almost back to normal. As always, if you're a user who had a problem that needs our attention because of this outage, we'll work to make it right. Don't hesitate to call.

AA-bob

risingsun, Auction 6893313 caused by server outage. Assigned starting prices from auctions you created and lost on 8/15 to the seller's auction which got the same number assigned leater. You, of course are not obligated to purchase. Fees were credited back to the Seller's account for relist.

ramlaser, same deal as above on yours.

257imp, on auction mouserk98 actually won the auction at $31 (see bid history). I've credited your fees back and will send a winner notification manually to him/you.

(no avatar) A message to me from Willie Ta was that Manny is aware of the problem and is on it.One good thing is that I have 13 auctions ending this morning and they are ending normally.One bad thing is that there are buyers who only look at going,going,gone auctions and in my case they wouldn't be able to look at any of my guns to bid on them.I did receive some last hour bids probably from other folks who had obviously seen the photos prior.

One other inconvenience for me is that I don't post my auctions myself but have an internet techy that comes in during the morning. I've wasted a whole morning's wages.I'm not really bellyaching loudly here because I'm sure that AA wishes to always be operating at full strength but this month has had its ups and downs.
