Yes, USS Ninja Down and it appears to be happening with alarming occurences. We all need USS Ninja to be up and running so that we can search for cars every day. When it’s down it’s not good for anyone is it?
As Auction Agents we desperately need Ninja so that our customers can scour the auctions every day in search of treats. Yes, you will get better pictures and the uptime is normally 99% ok. You may or may not know this already but Auction Agents pay to use this service! Yes, we pay USS Japan to supply us with Ninja so that we can provide a full service to you the end user.
Oddly enough USS Ninja is banned in Japan. USS blocks all Japanese IP addresses as it was designed specifically for international customers. That is interesting enough all on its own. However, when USS Ninja is Down, we are all down.
So Why Does USS Ninja Go Down Every Morning?
Today which happens to be the 23rd of February 2024 we contacted USS Japan the parent company of Ninja and asked what was going on. We stated clearly that we are not paying for a system that is continually going down and we can’t support our customers with a faulty system. Their reply was most interesting.
USS Japan told us directly that at certain times of the week at specific times, the servers are being hacked in such a way that it’s forcing Ninja to crash and subsequently go down. Now you readers may think that is just an excuse and a load of bullshit but the hard facts are that it’s the truth.
Every website on the internet that is not related to an Auction House in Japan that displays cars and data from Japanese Car Auctions is scraping the data from the auction servers directly which causes massive loads on the servers and this is one of the reasons USS has been vocal about their images being used. Now they are also trying to scrape Ninja as the images may be easier to obtain.
USS is not going to allow this to happen and will put steps in place to eliminate these hackers and scrapers (Data Mining) So every Thursday morning USS Ninja goes down due to massive overloads from data mining attempts. Everyone wants to show the auctions on their websites and pretend that they control the auctions.
REMEMBER: If it’s not coming from USS, IAUC, or Asnet you are being cheated somehow. Get away from these websites today.
Contact me today for more information about USS Ninja if you are interested. (don’t contact us if you already have an Auction Agent and wont change to our service)
In the meantime search auctions here. (yes its data mined)
