Susan-Boyle.com Forum Up!!!
We are up and I will post a full technical explanation - cannot stop and do that now as I have to finish some administrative tasks first.
Susan-Boyle.com Forum Down
At some point this morning, the susan-boyle.com forum became unavailable with a database error message.
Paul, LChris, and the hosting provider are aware of and working to resolve the issue.
I have no clear expected downtime to give you at this moment - but want to assure everyone that what happened was likely due to something very simple.
It happened though, just as we were in the process of transferring the ownership of the site.
That part created a bit extra administrative issue.
Some things are in one name and some are in another.
Both sides are working to get this resolved.
FYI : We were NOT transferring the files - had planned to do that in a few days to prepare for that.
I'll update shortly when I have more information.
I'll write a full explanation after we are done.

IMPORTANT NOTE
You'll notice that in the last four hours of an auction, text appears on the listing which says:
Ending soon! Bids will extend the auction.
What does this mean?
On Flippa we try to avoid "sniping", which is bidders putting in bids right at the end of the auction listing time. Sniping leads to sellers getting lower prices, and buyers missing out on items they want. We don't like it.
To avoid this, in the last four hours of a listing, any bids which are made will extend the end time of the listing so that there's still four hours left from the time of the bid. This gives other bidders a chance to reply to that bid, if they choose.
This extension continues as long as there are bids, so the downside of this is that popular auctions can go a long way past their originally scheduled end time. However, it gets a better result for all concerned.
