As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Maybe it's just me but for some reason it feels too slick. Comments so far just feels fake as well. Hopefully for the backers it's not just marketing BS

They have priced this too high in my opinion...banking too much on the value people will place on having a piece of a “genuine aston martin” on their wrist. Its a stock Miyota with no finishing and an awkward date window for €600.
