No idea whether it's internal systems or connectivity but it's the first time I've seen Trademe completely down.
UPDATE: Trademe was out all night due to a major equipment failure. Ouch, don't you hate when that happens...
UPDATE 2: From Trademe's Mike O'Donnell who says the Trademe outage was down to a load balancing switch breaking down around 9pm last night...
"Once we isolated the problem we switched across to our Auckland DR site and switched on Trade Me out of there – about 6am this morning – after an all night session by our tech team.
"They are busy doing a full diagnostic at the moment and plan to bring it back to Wellington once the investigation is complete.
"A horrible thing for our members – only mitigating factor was that 3 Jan is a quiet time in terms of traffic and auctions. About 4500 sellers had auctions close over the 9 hours. If that had been a month ago (or in three weeks time) it would have been three times that number.
"We extended all the effected auctions by 24 hours."
