There was an EM event last night so I'm guessing that's where everyone was. There were a ton of ppl at the event. I went to the Toad Town auction 2 weeks ago and there were quite a few attendees. There wasn't a ton of stuff yet, but I think that takes time to build. There was nowhere near what EK was like, back in the day. If they really want to get participation with items, they need to advertise how to drop off what you want auctioned. I went there yesterday to drop off some good stuff, and didn't find signage or books to tell me where I might do that.
Maybe I should send Yibble a pm, you think?
