I wanted to let everyone know that Ye Olde Rocket Auction is now fully operational again. It did not work properly for a number of years. I was about to take it offline altogether but decided to look deeper into the issue today. I found the problem was a lock file that gets created whenever maintenance runs to update the site did not get deleted years ago. Whenever the maintenance routine tried running it thought another instance was already running so would error out. This prevented the system from cleaning up old/ended auctions. I deleted the lock file and everything is working perfectly again.
