Ashoat Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 We got a complaint about you that you were distributing CD/product keys illegally. That doesn't sound like being "careful". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.martin Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 We got a complaint about you that you were distributing CD/product keys illegally. That doesn't sound like being "careful". I was not distributing product keys. If one of the forum members had posted something to this effect, then I was unaware of it and would be more than happy to take down the offending post(s).

Ashoat Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I emailed guys who requested your site go down. If they don't respond I'll unsuspend your account, but you have to be careful not to let anybody share stuff like that. Remind me by bumping this thread in three days.

Ashoat Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Sorry, they said the following: It was the actual owner of the site, no it was on many places on the forums.. This isn't looking too good. I guess if you want I can unsuspend the site and check it out myself, but if you were sharing stuff illegally it's just going to be wasted time on my end, since I'll probably catch it just as easily as the guy who reported it. However, if that guy was just lying for some reason, then I can give it a look. Would you like me to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if that guy was just lying for some reason, then I can give it a look. Would you like me to do that? We were not distributing any illegal product keys, but I think I know how the person who complained might have made this mistake. We created a tool that encrypts links into gibberish text. Recently I started going through posts and converting links to their encrypted form and putting the text between tags. That way, if a user wasn't registered they couldn't see posted links (probably not the best solution, but it worked). Perhaps the guy who complained was under the false impression that these snippets of encrypted text were product keys. It certainly would be understandable how one might arrive at that conclusion. We also developed a program that disables some Microsoft-embedded spyware which is hidden within the Software Protection Platform (SPP) of the Windows 6.1 core framework, and it also makes it possible for a person to upgrade their hardware without the need to reactivate Windows every time they do. To a misinformed individual, it may appear that this program uses product keys to achieve its result, but they would be mistaken. This program does not utilize any product key whatsoever, nor is it intended for users who do not own a legitimate Windows license. In any case, I'll be moving to a new host soon, so if you could temporarily allow me to have phpMyAdmin access to get the SQL dump, that's all I need and then I'll be on my way. I don't want to inconvenience you any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Eh, you seem legitimate enough. Okay, you've been unsuspended... good luck at your new host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
