I actually agree with the live stream being a nice feature.

I also liked that you could see who was selling something previously, but it did get old receiving a tell a week later after I sold an item from someone asking about that item.

The part I didn't like was the "average" price of an item. People manipulated this price and could fix it so that it was what they wanted to sell an item at.

With the site and it's holy grail of average prices no longer being a reference point, we can now have a larger variance in prices and that's classic.

I rather it be this way personally.

Haha, one single consolidated thread in which people pay their condolences to P99 Auctions = people excessively whining about the site coming down. Is that similar to the "rampant" manipulation that occurred on said site?

I agree with your last statement that there was "rampant" manipulation that occurred on P99 Auctions. You got that right.

Just because you or I may not like collecting stamps, doesn't mean those who do enjoy collecting stamps shouldn't do it.

I think that's what makes this server and game fun, you can play and enjoy different facets of it.

Manipulating a third party auction logging site to ensure maximum profits sounds real fun... and now it's gone.

Ok, you said "Tunnelquest" and in my mind tunnelquesting has nothing to do with manipulating third party auction sites. People can "tunnelquest" and never look at an auction site.

Anyway, exactly. It is gone, and it's time to move on. Let's stop moaning about it, and stop moaning about the moaning about it.

Keary losted a burial date for the site, so that's something to look forward to.

We can even have a proper burial if you guys would like, if that helps with the healing process and all.
