Whether it was hijacked or the bill wasn't paid (on or off purpose), I
know that something is strange regarding AucZILLA's loss. My own personal loss
revolves around this important issue. I'm still waiting on items that I bid on
and paid for in AucZILLA XIV (14). Todd, if you're reading, get back to me at
Savannius@yahoo.com so that I can discuss with you the missing items. I still
have the e-mails from the AucZILLA server itself.
Otherwise, I'm just sad that a great parts acquisition site is now gone.
Todd, if you'd like to discuss this at some time with the LUGNet (and AucZILLA)
users, we'd appreciate it.
