You showed the snipe, it was never placed with Ebay and I lost to a lower bid.
Your site was unavailable fo hours did it crash at the time it should have submitted my bid?
Curious to what happened, Ebay said they never saw the bid?

Hello Maurice,
Thanks for your question about the site response time. Around the time of this snipe, our forum was being attacked by a robot. It doesn't appear to be a malicious attack, just a clumsy one. There isn't much we can do in this situation except to respond ASAP and work with our ISP. It won't happen again because we relocated the forum.
I hope this has been resolved to your satisfaction. If you have additional questions, please be sure to respond and we can take the next step.
