The October Great Domains Auction Fiasco

[Domain Jedi]

Dear DNForum,

First of all, please reference Sedo's October 22nd post:

Due to a malicious attempt to disrupt our services, Sedo suffered from two different distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks which temporarily caused the Sedo and GreatDomains.com websites to be slow or irresponsive between 17:55 and 20:15 CET on October, 22nd 2009 (11:55 and 2:15 PM EDT).

Now keep in mind that although both the October Great Domains auction and the .DE auction had the exact same end time, only the .DE auction was extended.

I need all of your help. If you attempted to bid on any of the October Great Domains inventory within the last say 5 minutes of auction end and couldn't due to site failure, please post your experience in this thread or PM me if you would prefer.

Maybe you didn't even participate in the auction but couldn't access the site. Please reply in the case as well.

I need to start collecting this information.

Thank You,

Craig
