Hi Community,
Update - I just received notification from our technical team that the Auction Sniper bidding services have been restored and that the web site is up and running again, but only on limited hardware. As a result, any snipes scheduled to be placed from 5:00 PM PT and later should be placed successfully, however, the web interface will most likely exhibit some sluggishness and fail to respond at times because it is running at diminished capacity.
Our IT team will be traveling down to our data center later tonight to resolve the situation completely and restore the functionality of the web site to its usual form. There may be a few brief service interruptions during the night time as we add new hardware to our system but they should barely be noticeable if at all.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this issue has caused, and we will continue to work hard to have the Auction Sniper website running at full speed again by tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience with respect to this matter.
-Mike
