They're upgrading their servers due to the extensive growth! It's a good thing, LtRay. It means the site will be even better. At least when they upgrade it's early on a Sunday morning and not in the middle of a busy day.
Don't panic! Go to www.ecrater.com and you'll see the message. They're be back up in a couple of hours.

Thanks for the update Cheryl. I went to ecrater.com and received the same page that just said adscentric. I thought they had been hacked

Here's the message:
You are seeing this screen because we are currently upgrading our server.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
We are expecting to be live again in 4 hours.
Edited to add: I've been watching eCrater on the PSU board and they've had steady growth at least since the eBay store fee hike. I didn't pay much attention before that. eBay's counts are down now almost 3%!

LOL guess I slept through all the excitement. I checked and am back in business. Well sort of. Have not had much going on but am getting page views to the items. Would be nice if a lot of buyers came to check us out over there. In fact I think I get more viewers at the crater than at ebay which is kinda strange. But I am thinking the count is not like at ebay with my counters that do not count return visits or however call that option to not count oh lost word. Oh well you get my drift. LOL

Nothing except that a lot of people who had eBay stores closed their eBay stores and opened up at eCrater after eBay raised their fees. eCrater is far more economical - FREE.
Edited to add: That's why the OP put OT in the thread title.

Oh, I had no idea. Where have I been? And how do people use these crater stores--can they refer to them in their ebay listings? See how little I know?!

I am seeing tons of hits at my crater too. Love the tools but don't care much for the site name. ECrater sounds like something deep in the ground , doesn't it?
I'm slowing stocking my store. I was just about to open an eBay store when eBay raised the rates.
