We agree, it was definitely not an easy decision. Consider the options we had in front of us:
1) Wait until there was a viable and tested auction module available for this platform. This means all the other features, ability to handle future growth, etc. would be put on hold until we could launch with this additional feature... which could have been a very long time.
or
2) Launch without the same auction functionality now , make due with the system (as we did in the past), and try to bump up the priority of the creation and addition of an auction module.
It wasn't an issue or decision of "I wonder if we even need auctions... let's get rid of them!" It was "Wow, this is really going to suck to loose auctions, but we desperately need to improve all these other areas... what do we do?"
Again, it wasn't an easy decision at all. We spent more time evaluating this decision longer and harder than most people spend evaluating which job to take, where to buy a house, or in some cases, who to marry (ya, you know who you are!)
So, just like any big life decisions, we weighed the pros and cons and made a decision. We know more than anybody (we've been engaged with this community longer than most) what we're loosing, but we also know what we're gaining. We just ask for your trust and understanding as we make these very hard decisions.
Cheers!
