Blackcats Status

[bigflavor]

Hello,


Anyone know what happened to Blackcats (blackcats-games.com)?

I refuse to believe that the highly competent admin forgot to reregister the domain name.


Stoi, here's lookin at you, kid.



Thanks,

Matt

[elby67]

Yes is does... Hope we hear something about this...

[cerealkilla]

Yes, hopefully we will be back up soon. Stoi said somewhere else that he can't pay for the domain with Paypal anymore, so I think he is trying to str8in that out. He said it may be up today.

[smackdownz]

oww man, lucky i found this thread, i was starting to get worried

[hummus19]

[stoi]

i cant even remember signing up for here lol and 764 posts what the hell. this forum must have been called something else before, as i only ever had that amount of posts on my forums or the kazaa light forum back in the day.

Welcome, stoi.

first of all i did not forget to re-register the domain name (i understand that was the first post, so no one knew what the hell was going on)

i have known for a while now that the domain was due to expire, it expired on the 06/2/2006. i have been in contact with the domain company since a month before then, as they have stopped accepting paypal (why i have no idea) and i dont have any other means to pay for them.

They informed me i had a month from the expiration date to pay and they will accept paypal again sometime in Feb.

that to me sounded as if i had till the 6th March to get it sorted. I had no idea that as soon as it expired it would change to a search engine page (they did not inform me of this). As soon as the domain went down though i have been onto the company constantly hastling them, as they accept E-Gold but not paypal and i had an E-gold account but it didnt work out (and it looked rubbish tbh at the time).

I have got someone trying to add funds to my account with the domain company but its taking forever and a day to get it sorted.

i was hoping sunday just gone, now it looks like it wont be sorted until this sunday (if it ever gets sorted)

if worst comes to the worst, i will sign up for a company that does accept paypal, and try to transfer the domains or buy them as soon as they expire, i dont think we are that big that others will buy them before me but you never know.

i will keep yous updated on any other developements in this thread, but the site has not gone, and the server is still there (i just cant contact any of the members unless they contact me or read this thread)

sorry for all the inconvenience but we will be back

stoi

[top25]

Please be back i heard the site was great and i hope to be able to become a member in the near future.

[stoi]

I have just worked out this was filesoup :)

anyway i have created an e-gold account (saying as thats the only way i can renew the domain). i wont post the link in here but if you do want to donate to the cause this way then please either pm me, or send me an email (both can be done from my profile on here.

[params7]

Here's hoping it gets back soon. I'll downoload something else till then.

[jots]

Good to hear you´re determined to get BC back up and running, Stoi. I think I speak for the whole filesharing community when I´m saying that we are behind you 100 %. Good luck!

[fanni]

good to see i've been looking all morning trying to find out where bc had gone
good to hear that it'll be back soon :)

[stoi]

I have just managed to send a mass email to all the forum members.

you can access the forum by coming here

http://202.67.216.56/forums/index.php?act=idx

as you can see the domain name isnt there and once i do get the domain name sorted it will revert back to that, but i did manage to find the file to change it from domain to ip addy.

check the anouncements forum for more info (as i will be updating there now and not here)

[Nero_]

Hope you get it back soon. It's too good to be lost. I'll see if I can donate a little something again.

[raziel73]

thank u so much,Stoi.....good luck! :)

Hey stoi, long time no see :)

Domain name registrars suck, don't let them steal the blackcats domain... and don't underestimate the power of domain name squatters. They stole my old domain name, and I didn't get that many hits.

[dogmooz]

I made an entry i my hosts file for the IP stoi left for the forums, sure feels cold and lonely there tho lol Nice to be able to see the black cats home page again though!!!! :w00t:

[dreamer2050]

i wathis was the best gaming site i ever had. hope it is up again

[Phrozen2]

Hi Stoi, and other users...

If you want to get the domain registered and purchase the domain through PayPal, then heres a site that might interest you...

http://www.godaddy.com

They offer Registration Privacy, which your other registrar did aswell.

Hope this helps?

Hey stoi, I have sent several email to you asking about blackcats but never did receive an answer from you, here's my latest email. Edited for this forum,

Hello;
> I have tried to sign up to blackcats, but I have never received a confirmation email sent to me in order to make my confirmation made to the site. My user name is **********. When I don't receive a confirmation email sent to me after about three days, I go back and try to create another account with the same user name only to receive an automated message saying that user name is in use. When I try and log in with this user name I receive another message stating confirmation has not been made yet. How can I confirm my account when I never received an email in which to do so in the first place? I have tried to create an account several times here recently for about 2 months with different user names all with the same results. Can you please tell me what I need to do in order to confirm myself to Blackcats, I hope my email is clear enough, thanks! Oh, by the way, I have used different user names when I've tried to sign up so that there's not a conflict with another user with the same user name I have chosen.
So to make it clear here are the steps I have taken.
1. Go to the blackcats web site to create an account, I type in a user name, password and email.
I receive an automated message saying that a confirmation email has been sent to my email address.
I never do receive one.
2. After about three days when I don't receive the email confirmation, I go back and try and have another
confirmation email sent, still I never receive one.
3. also, when I don't receive a confirmation, again after about four days I try and sign up again with the same user name,
only to receive an automated message sayig that this user name is in use, (yeah, by me), use another.
4. After this happens, I try and log on with this user name only to receive a message saying that it has not been confirmed!
how can I confirm my user name/email/ip, when I never receive an email in which to do so?

I beleive if I'm not in error that the file sharing tracker is up, because I have seen on torrentspy recently games from the blackcats tracker, here's one. Don't bother trying to get this file off torrentspy and download it without registering with blackcats, I tried and all I got was (torrent error, please register at http://www.blackcats-games.net/

Anyone that is having trouble signing up to the tracker, then join the forum as its a seperate registration.

http://blackcats-games.net/forums/index.php?act=idx

and there is post in announcements about not receiving your email.

post in there and we will enable your account for you.

trouble is i dont use this forum or afterdawns much, so its hard for me to keep track of problems unless they are posted on the blackcats site.

[Dman76]

when I re-registered on the new site the link I got in my e-mail didn't work. Nor do any of your links here stoi???????????

[hamam543210]

Yes is does... Hope we hear something about this...

[Dman76]
