Thoughts on the Technical Problems

There have been problems with the search functions of Etsy for the last week or so. There has also been problems with spammers, sock puppets, resellers, etc, etc. It's frustrating and we're all sort of holding our breath until it gets fixed. But it also is a coming of age for Etsy. We're finally big enough to attract those that are out there to sabotage. We're no longer confined to our close knit community, but are getting a generous amount of attention from the outside world. Whether they are jealous, immature, or just down right mean doesn't much matter. They'll get there's eventually and we can go back to the smoothly operating Etsy we all know and love. But we'll never be the same. We're famous now and only getting bigger! Hold on to your hats ladies and gentleman, because we have officially arrived.
