I guess somebody had to ask!

What was the deal earlier today? Did the site get hacked, or was there a little miscommunication going on with the host that made us go off the air for awhile? Whatever the problem, I'm soooo glad we're back on-line! I felt so disconnected there for awhile! Thanks to whomever got us all back together.

Let me echo the gratitude, Shellie! I was having major withdrawal over here ... the shakes, hallucinations, the whole bit.

OK ... so maybe not that bad ... but I did so miss my Beta! So, so happy that everyone is back!!!

lol I slept through the whole issue... Though, I'm kinda curious what happened. Another site I frequent this time of the week has been down, too... So I'm really worried!! Maybe it's something crazy going around?

Needless to say, we just experienced a small taste of what life would be like should the internet simply cease to be...

...it was horrible...nothing to do but school work and converse with friends...via phone??

*shudder*

I don't know guys ... it's a pretty scary thought!

Shampoo ... this is totally ...

... but, please tell me you got that awesome Shampoo and Ghost Cat cel that was on ebay. I saw you were bidding on it, but didn't see how it ended. That one needs to be in your collection!!

Well let me put the questions and rumors to rest. Beta as well as my site got hacked and the little shit who did it decided to put some nasty files into the system that were inturn causing problems to the server. Alec and I are in the process of changing EVERYTHING as well as adding more security measures so if Beta does go down again in the next day or two it's probably due to our "fixing" stuff. Rest assured the billing was never an issue. heehee. Although donations are still always welcome for when the need arises.

That's awful, Goldknight! Sorry to hear you had those problems, and I hope everything works out smoothly for "the fix". I think we're all just happy to see it back up, and thankful for your efforts!

OMG!!! I am SOOO sorry Patti! I totally forgot to pm ya back about that!
Please forgive me!

Sadly.. no I didnt win her...

The reserve wasn't met at all.. Grrrr!

That really irritates me, if you dont wanna sell it below a price
then list the starting bid at the price you DO want for it.. geez I hate having to 'guess'

Ah well.. hopefully its not the last of the Neko-ghost cat/shampoo cel.

Or at least more Shampy's will come along for me to snatch lol

Thanks again for letting me know bout it! Your a doll
*hugs hugs*

Man ... I'm really sorry to hear that, Shampoo! I was so hoping you would win her. Well, maybe they will relist it and either start the bidding at the reserve or remove the reserve. I can understand the irritation at having to guess about the reserve ... although, I must confess I've put reserves on a few cels I've put up in the past --- three, actually.

I hated doing it that way, but it was the only way I felt I could try selling them, since they were so special to me. One of them sold, and the other two didn't ... but, I took my feelings on them as a sign I shouldn't even be trying to sell them, and I removed them from my sale page, even. They shall never see ebay again! (I hope ... LOL)
