DNForum Friends,
Look no further for proof that Sedo is being dishonest!
Listed below is the body of an email I just sent Sedo
***********************************************
I would like to show you why your comany is dishonest in stating the following via a DNForum post:
"Sedo would like to take this chance to provide more information regarding the distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack that intended to disrupt our services yesterday, including the conclusion of our monthly auction at GreatDomains.com and the 1, 2, & 3-Character .de Pre-Auction. While the Sedo and GreatDomains websites were slowed as the auction was closing, our bid logs show that we did not experience any downtime until a brief window of time after the close of the final domain being sold in the GreatDomains auction. Bids were still being received throughout the close of the auction and every domain receiving bids in the final minutes were extended in accordance with our auction rules. Throughout the auction, the number of bids received were high and consistent, and in the end, this GreatDomains auction resulted in higher than average bids and sales volume, easily beating the results from our September auction. Because every domain that would have been extended due to bidding activity were in fact extended, there was no cause or reason for any further extensions of the auction timeframe."
The proof is bright as day...

Please show me where any of my auctions received bids after 11:56 AM EST?
Now as you are well aware, seasoned bidders will wait until the very end to bid so as to avoid driving the price up early on. As a matter of fact, I am gathering bidder testimony on both DNForum as well as NamePros regarding this fiasco.
***********************************************
Again, my question to Sedo is this. Why wasn't the October Great Domains auction extended due to disrupted services just as the .DE auction was?
Both high profile auctions ended at the exact same time and were negatively affected in the exact same way!!
