The site was down earlier today for about 50 minutes, this was due to excessive server load apparently caused by an denial of service attack which crashed our main server and the back up host was only able to cope with the load for a few minutes hence the account suspension message, until the main server was rebooted.

Eventhough the site is now running fine, further such attacks cannot be ruled out. However, we are bringing forward plans for a more robust server clustering system that will split the load between servers thus limiting the impact any attack can have as well as greatly increasing the speed and capacity of the market oracle to cope with the ever growing traffic.

If the site is down again, please retry later as we will be working to bring the site back online.
