Default GunBroker Down

Anyone know what's going on with GunBroker? It's been down for me for a couple hours now. I did a Google search and others on other gun forums are saying they haven't been able to get on since last night.

I am seriously PO'd. Its still down and there were several auctions I had a very keen interest in. What happens to those that "end" with the site down?? Buyers and sellers are both potentially losing if they dont add back the lost time to the auctions.

It's addressed in their FAQ, they add the time they are down back to the auctions.

Yes, this is bs. Been trying to get on all day. Site is definitely down. I would not be happy if I had something ending today.

I was able to get on around 8:30 this morning, but it was down later. Don't know if there is any connection, but I was also unable to get on GunAuction for awhile too. It is working now, but I was getting the same message as GunBroker. Hacked?

Maybe the anti's found a way to stop people from buying firearms. Now if the other firearm sites go down there may be a conspiracy.

I think there's something in the Bible about this. Maybe not, though.

Must be the Russian hackers. They found out a way to get at the heart of the country.

This is the 2nd thread I've seen about it here.
Judging by the reactions, an intervention, or gun buyers anonymous may be in order for us.lol
I also see who's probably been bidding against me now.

A web site for answering that question:

Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if your website is down or up?

Gunbroker is obsolete.
Any Smith worth having is already owned by a member of this Forum.

Ain't going to happen

A deal is a deal, but not when the system goes down.
