We are experiencing some sort of a problem with either the server or our site is being attacked. We will be upgrading to a new server in the near future and hopefully that will take care of the problem.
Hopefully the slowness of our site will be fixed soon.
Please find some way to notify your regular users when you get things fixed. This user has resolved not to visit Choo Choo Auctions much less to bid on anything until things get fixed.
I understand your frustration. We feel the same way over this.
We are working on the problem. Please stay tuned. At this point we aren't sure what is happening and are trying our best to find out. I am hoping to have this fixed within a day or two. Regardless we will be transfering to another server soon as well. The server will be much faster than this one, but I'm not sure that is the problem.
I am going to try to extend auctions if I can get in to do so.
