If you were disabled from Blackcats, READ THIS!

[antony76]

Hello everybody

Today I was banned from Blackcats-Games. :cry:

When I try to log in, I get a message:

THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DISABLED!

Can one of you guys BCG-User check why I was banned from the tracker?
I really can't understand why, good ratio (1.5 more or less), not to much H&R, Power User, no WARNING!

Thanks
A.

[Nemrod]

Oh, the same old movie.

Believe me mate, there´s always a reason, sometimes intentionally, sometimes without intention but for sure something you did is not allowed.
Very probably stoi will tell you the reason.

Find the appropriate person to PM here - http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bittorrent-43/t-commmunity-reps-fst-232869/?

[TidusBlade]

Sorry mods if this isint allowed...
Anyways, Blackcats sent an announcement at around Aug. 22 about the Keyword system and stuff, and it was spammed in the IRC aswell :P And anyone who didn't generate his keyword would be banned.

And that happened today, so alot of users were banned for not generating them, and if you happen to be one and are willing to generate one, contavt staff immediently, coming into #help on the IRC would be best, it's only gonna happen for a VERY short time.

irc.blackcats-games.net
#help

[Cabalo]

honestly, if those people haven't logged onto the site since august 22nd, i wouldn't waste my time on them.

[TidusBlade]

Exactly why it's only happening for an hour or two.

[necromantic]

Thanks for the second chance Tidus. That'll learn me for skimming over the announcements :D

[TidusBlade]

No problem, I'm sure there's at least a few out of those who didn't deserve to be banned :P

[HiDef]

does anyone know the irc for blackcats. i was an SPU there and got disabled. had 400+ gigs uploaded and a 2.1 ratio. can someone help me in this situation.

[TidusBlade]

It's in the first post :P
Server: irc.blackcats-games.net
Channel: #help

[HiDef]

sorry, i must be blind, thanks. has anyone had success getting bak in

[TidusBlade]

We re-enable anyone who comes in now, so yes lol

[finite]

I think that's me done for then I've never logged into the channel before and don't have the pass from the site. If I didn't have a head cold at the moment I might of realised text is red for a reason.

[TidusBlade]

Well, you can still come in and get it re-enabled...

[turbotalon21]

Does anyone have the irc.

thanks

Black-cats Games

www.blackcats-games.net:6667 #blackcats

[fu11m3ta1]

UPDATE: As it turns out, blackcats was trying to get all the users to generate new keywords. What the blackcats staff didnt realize was, that not everyone checks the front page, or the email associated with the account.

There for, 23k have been suspended, which is almost half of the whole community. There is currently a decision being made to solve this, as this is quite the disaster of a situation.

[Medooooo]

PM Stoi , he is the one who can help you .

can anyone tell me if IRC will help?

[evolvaxxx]

MY account is disabled too. :frusty:

[Dr.FST]

Probably best to PM him. If not then IRC > Help.

[slymester]

They wont be able to PM him as they are under n00b status

[Tokeman]

did you guys create your keywords and all that jazz?

fu11m3ta1 (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/-211289/) - I can PM if you want me to. Just tell me what you want to ask.

[fu11m3ta1]

can some else here pm him on my behalf then? please, all you need to do is copy this thread, and say that this was what i said. I simply cant pm, as i am a n00b status user.

[Dr.FST]

i dont think stoi likes to be flooded with pm asking for help

[mav_rik]

Same thing happened to my account on BCG.... Account name mavrik

Had a ratio of 1.6.... I'm confused why my account was disabled.... No warning... :(

Is this a bug perhaps?

[fu11m3ta1]

fu11m3ta1 (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/-211289/) - I can PM if you want me to. Just tell me what you want to ask.
Oh please, that would be highly appreciated.

If you want to copy and paste the thread , and say thats what i said, that would be good enough.

Thanks for the help.

Thank you:)

[sabre]

my account is suspended too... i had a good ratio as well. i went into IRC its no help the topic says "staff decision pending about suspended accounts, asking in #help will result in kick" - didnt see the announcement because i have browse.php bookmarked =o

[zodden]

wow this just happened to me today as well. Good ratio there as well, I treasured that place. I was not too quick to read announcements though :(

[turbotalon21]

This is bs so our accounts are just gone?

[JunelBT]

If it truly was 23k accounts that were banned, than there was a miscommunication somewhere. I never received a PM, something this important deserves a mass PM IMHO, I use a firefox shortcut that takes me directly to the browse page where I have all my filters set how I like it, most users usually bypass the homepage of most torrent sites.

[turbotalon21]

well on the irc he denied me of getting my acc back. He said since i never did the keyword thing i cant get the acc back.

[integral]

The acct thing was announced here, as well as on the News section of the site, way, way in advance. If you used the site a lot, or the forums, or read the front page, you would have known.

Don't worry, maybe the referral system will give you a chance to get back in.

[turbotalon21]

Ya me and how many other people are having this problem, maybe if they sent a mass pm to every user on the site they would not have this problem right now.

[integral]

Ya me and how many other people are having this problem, maybe if they sent a mass pm to every user on the site they would not have this problem right now.

Maybe the remaining users were smart enough to read the news and be active members of the trackers they are on? :cool: Sometimes seeding/leeching isnt everything.

[Skiz]

Ya me and how many other people are having this problem, maybe if they sent a mass pm to every user on the site they would not have this problem right now.

I think they did. I also believe that there was a message on the homepage several weeks ago as well as a thread here at FST.

[turbotalon21]

Still dont understand why they could not sent out a mass pm about it.

Can you pull up the thread that was here for me.

[JunelBT]

Ya me and how many other people are having this problem, maybe if they sent a mass pm to every user on the site they would not have this problem right now.

I think they did. I also believe that there was a message on the homepage several weeks ago as well as a thread here at FST.

I never saw a PM, but I can only speak for myself.

As has already been stated here some people bypass the front page, probably most people, what percentage of total users is 23k?

[zodden]

they are fixing it guys as we speak. Go to IRC, then help but DON'T talk or you get kicked. Wait for the Admin to ask you to PM him and then do so, he will ask for you email/username and then says he will contact when its fixed.

[turbotalon21]

Ya i did that all ready, lol cant wait for the fix.

[Raban]

the message was all over the place i dunno how anyone could miss it...

they probably don't even use the site much anyways ... i say don't let any of them back on...

[suppli3r]

i also got my acc disabled :cry: for not generating passkey :cry:

[TidusBlade]

Well, there was an announcement to everyone, it's on top of every page on the tracker in bright red, dunno how anyone could miss it. It had a news post, it was in the IRC topic and there was a gigantic thread about it in the forums which you couldn't miss because everywhere linked to it, and all of it gave everyone about a month to do it...

I still think there were tons of good users out there, they just don't read announcements, check the news or read up on the tracker's status =/

[bblogs]

the message was all over the place i dunno how anyone could miss it...

they probably don't even use the site much anyways ... i say don't let any of them back on...

There are actually people who don't spend there day reading various BT community announcements :rolleyes:

Downloading data doesn't mean you are active on forums.

Edit: Well if it was written in red on every page, it seems those who are disabled aren't active :unsure:
Half of BCG users are not active?! :huh:

You don't have to. It was in bold, red text at the top of every single page.

Or so I've read.

[zodden]

Ok new information. If you want to try and get your account back (no promises I am told)

you have to go to IRC and get the email address in the topic.

Include your nick and email that you registered with and ask for your account back.

" Topic: Did you generate your passkey??? If you have been disabled for not generating your keyword, you cannot be reenabled at this time. NEVER. Any questions in #help regarding this will result in a kick from the channel. "

directly from IRC

[JunelBT]

What I've able to grasp from IRC.

A PM was sent out, I didn't receive this PM, though in all honesty I could be
mistaken, but I don't believe I am.

They say an email was sent out, this I 100% can say I did not receive, I use a specific gmail account only for torrent sites, if an email was sent I didn't get it, and it would seem neither did a LOT of users.

[ghurka]

There was most definitely an email sent to everyone which Stoi initiated as he had an inkling that a lot of members would not read the news on the home page - despite this particular item being marked as "Important". Apart from grabbing you all by the balls this seemed to be the best way to get your attention.

To have any chance of getting back in there, and this is in no way guaranteed, you have to go to IRC. It is no use posting in the forums as you will be ignored.

ps....if there are any mods around you might want to move this to the BT section before another thread starts there.

[TidusBlade]

Someone moved it here, so opening a topic there is probably useless since mods would just close it, and there's a link from there to here, but it'll go soon to page 2.

[MAX011]

i need the irc for blackcats games please

[nipple]

server: blackcats-games.net

[turbotalon21]

i hope your not going in for a disabled acc.

[MAX011]

i hope your not going in for a disabled acc.

in fact yes

[kondrae]

this has been asked for the 10th time in the last 24hours.
the reason is cuz BCG disable like about half their users that didnt generate a keyword by a certain date

[seanbee]

Generate keyword?

I wonder if that is why I was disabled? I don't recall reading that I should have so I am sure I didn't.

[zodden]

There was most definitely an email sent to everyone which Stoi initiated


Definitely not true as I have BCats tied to my primary email which I check 24/7. I scanned all deleted emails including the junk folders from August 1st 2008 till today and never received one. If I had I would have certainly done what they asked because you are correct the email gets everybody's attention.

My fault for not reading the announcements. I should have but O well.

[ngraham07]

You were pm'ed and contacted several times about the keyword. If you didn't see it then it's totally your own fault unfortunately!

[seanbee]

Then whose else fault could it have been if not mine????

Thanks for stating the obvious

[yuvaraaj]

my account also disbled...
is there any way to regain it...????

[turbotalon21]

not atm

[bblogs]

You were pm'ed and contacted several times about the keyword. If you didn't see it then it's totally your own fault
unfortunately!

If the PMs were as reliable as BCG confirmation emails, then it may not be the user's fault at all :shifty:

[Yoshiyuki]

I've don't think I've ever had a PM that told me to generate a keyword. Most of the messages I get were to reseed old games. I never saw that announcement either probably because I usually just skim over them.

So, I went to the irc server and went to the help channel. I was kicked as soon as I stated my case. I was willing to generate a keyword if I were to have my account re-enabled... Though my ratio isn't that impressive, it stayed at least over 1.0.

[dunson]

LoL

Stoi ftw!!!

[aysomc]

i have never once deleted any pm's from bcg since i like to keep all old pm's on sites i use and i dont have any pm's about this in my box so they may have tried to send a mass pm but it certainly didnt make it to everyone. not a big deal to me since i got it re-enabled already but im sure there are a lot of good users who just skip over announcements. hope they have a solution for this other then just saying "too bad".

[seanbee]

I like to think that I am one of those good users being an upstanding member of several elite trackers (sct whore, ftn hero, etc). I cannot say definitively whether I did or did not get such a pm but I am sure that I certainly don't recall anything of such, I mean how hard could it have been to generate a keyword?

Anyway if I am infact at fault then I am willing to pay the penalty so I guess time to get let the chips fall where they may.

EDIT: what I find strange though is that I am disabled by all of my torrents are still seeding and I have no intention of stopping them until there are no more leechers even though I may never get the benefit of the upload credit being gained.

[Funkin']

I'm sure there are a lot of honest, good, users who did get disabled for this. But you got nobody to blame for this but your selves. Checking the home page of whatever tracking your visiting is not hard, and it only takes up a few seconds of your time. 23k users getting disabled for this is just pathetic. Stoi gave more than enough time for every member of the site to click on one link, and generate a word.

Agree to a point

[EyeCandy]

23K Users got disabled?

How many users is on the site now?

[seanbee]

Ok, after finally getting IRC working on the linux distro I am using, I decided to hop unto bcg irc knowing well in hand that I may come across a hostile mod.

Let us just say it wasn't pretty but I guess he must have been bambarded all day

[Xcist]

seanbee - I got pretty much the same treatment. Unfortunate, but it seems that bcg is heading down the lame path.

~sigh, but if anyone used BCG for nintendo/wii/nds torrents, drop me a PM an i'll invite you to NT - a much better site for nintendo stuff and a site that won't disable you for being an active member, keeping up a good rap and accidently missing a few announcements.

[ngraham07]

To be perfectly honest you seemed like the rude one seanbee. I'm taking no sides but the mod looked like they were just playing and you were being plain rude.

[EyeCandy]

Yea...10 Pages of Complaints....

You know what I say...Fuck 'em...

If you want an invite, to bitgamer, similar to blackcats, except they won't stab you in the back, then all I ask is a PM of your e-mail address.....

[seanbee]

----------------------

[Zaxx]

Was this announcement a forced msg or was it posted in the 'news' or 'forum' area? I log onto bcg at least once a week and have never seen anything about a key word...and yes, I was disabled as a result.

Anything that can get you banned deserves nothing less than a forced message at log on so all users are sure to see it. If it was declared in a forced msg, my bad..but I don't know how the hell I could miss it.

I don't do IRC so I guess I'll pm stoi..I'm sure he's gonna love getting 1,000,000 pms about this..lol. :ermm:

Edit: I hear there was a reminder posted at the top of each page..so, like I said..my bad. :shutup:

[Yoshiyuki]

Well, After I was waiting around the IRC waiting room for a while. A nice mod comes up and helped the more patient people getting their accounts re-enabled.

So, all it requires is just to be nice and patient. He'll get around to you eventually. There are nice mods around there.

And just to state the obvious. Don't PM them. Anyone would be annoyed if they get 20+ PMs at the same time. It doesn't help you get your account reactivated any faster.

[zodden]

I'm back in and very happy. Time to celebrate :)

[Raban]

Edit: I hear there was a reminder posted at the top of each page..so, like I said..my bad. :shutup:


it was... and impossible to miss... and this notice has been given for weeks upon weeks now... i'd almost say 2 months ??

no way you couldn't have noticed unless you don't use the site...

[becomehokage]

I wonder where stoi is ...
Hes been missing for a while...

[Amigo02]

Man I hope there is someway I can get my account re-activated. How many people were actually successful at this I wonder??

[puckface]

Big ass red text at the top of every page until you dismissed it, also on the front page, a whole thread here etc etc.

No one to blame but you for losing your accounts.

ha

[suppli3r]

go to the bcg irc be nice and patient

[lolier]

i.e kiss some ass but don't leave lipstick marks?

[mb01]

Do you wait in the #waitingroom?

[TidusBlade]

If your disabled go to #disabled and wait for an admin to PM you...

[sharkezo]

they wont re-enable any account i guess

[seanbee]

They will and they have already re-enabled some

[Sylar666]

There are some fellow Hungarian users who got disabled, and desperate enough. Is it the proper thread for them to ask for reactivation of their respective accounts? Me not a gamer, just try to help them...

Someone was looking into my account last night on IRC and said I had hit and runs then I was booted out. I was seeding back when my account was disabled!! If they checked they would see that they were recent downloads.:unsure::unsure:

[guiljb10]

I also got my account disabled and I was downloading and uploading at the time, and had a ratio of 1.35 with no hits and runs.
What's the best way to reenable my account?
How do I join the irc chanel?
It's been a long time since I haven't used any irc client, so any help would be nice.
Thanks

[TidusBlade]

Everyone had been enabled for 1 WEEK, you have to generate your keyword in that period of time or else you get deleted, not disabled!
To generate your keyword, go login, and then click on your name in the top to go to your user details page, and there is a red link that says Generate My Key Word, it's impossible to miss. This is the last chance for everyone!

Sorry for the annoying bold guys, we just don't want this ever happening again...

[Raban]

one week from now you will still have tons of people coming on complaining about how they were given no notice and want their accounts back... asking how they can get into the IRC etc etc etc

i really thought BCG was gonna stand their ground and hold firm but you guys have appeared to bend to the noobs....

so after 1 week they will just come to IRC to get re-enabled?? probably.

[Funkin']

Unfortunately Raban is correct. You just know in a week another thread like this one is going to be created. But this does go to show how nice the BC staff can be.

[TidusBlade]

Nope, in one week the ones who didn't generate a keyword will be deleted from the database, not disabled, and there's zero hope for anyone deleted...

[mclaren01]

Hello i take my account back when i generate a keyword but i think there is something else i had to do to complete the all prosses as the adminis.told in th forum .Does anyone complete th work?

[TidusBlade]

When you generate your keyword, REMEMBER IT, write it down somewhere, as long you don't forget it! IF you forget it, you won't be able to login in the future. You will NEED IT when the fake page is setup, which will happen in the future, I don't know when, but pretty soon. So generate, remember it, and wait for when the fake page is setup.
Hope that helps ;)

[mclaren01]

thank friend that realy helps

[Dithersky]

good this they gave us another chance :P

[puckface]

Why even give people another chance? If someone is too thick follow instruction before a deadline, do you really want them on your tracker anyway?

[TidusBlade]

In my opinion, 22000 users is too much for any tracker to lose, except maybe Demonoid :P

[sabre]

i generated a password, is this all i need to do?

i cant find the page where your ment to put it in

[JunelBT]

Why even give people another chance? If someone is too thick follow instruction before a deadline, do you really want them on your tracker anyway?

:rolleyes: Well lets see...

1. No email (I use only one email for all torrent sites)
2. No PM (wasn't there before and not there now, except for one dated 9/20)
3. The announcement did NOT show up for me in the "global" announcement window (for me at least, in fact it's still not there right now), I never check the front page and rarely troll the forums, which I take responsibility for.

Now I can only speak for myself, but when 19k people can't "follow instruction" than maybe there was a miscommunication somewhere..., based on nothing other than the sheer amount of disabled users I think that's a fair assumption.

I think reopening the site temp was the right choice for everyone, BCG rocks!

[TidusBlade]

Well now people who didn't generate their keyword get 1 PM an hour :P
Don't see how anyone can miss something like:
"You have 164 new messages"

[puckface]

ha. people will still claim that they didn't see it. :)

[Tokeman]

I don't know how the global announce didn't show for people, I think people just ignored it. It shows up regardless of which page your on (browse for example) and makes you click a link to clear it out... It shows up for me on IE and FF, so....

Is it showing for you right now? It's not for me, the only thing I see for "global" announce is about the SP faq.

I see you can "clear" announcements, if you don't clear old ones, will new one show up?

[Tokeman]

Probably not, but I always clear them as I see them, they make me scroll too much and its annoying. I guess if you never clear them, you'll have the oldest important announcement there, but its up to you to read them and follow the directions (clear them)

[Funkin']

I don't know how the global announce didn't show for people, I think people just ignored it. It shows up regardless of which page your on (browse for example) and makes you click a link to clear it out... It shows up for me on IE and FF, so....

Well actually, the more I think about this, the more I think that the ones saying that the announcement didn't show up for them may be telling the truth. I remember a couple months ago everyone in the BCG forums were talking about a specific announcement that was made on the home page. But I never saw this announcement, and a bunch of others didn't either.

So maybe it is true that the announcement didn't show up for some. But there was a pm sent out, which I'm sure everyone got. So still, there shouldn't be any excuse to have not made that keyword. Unless you just didn't visit the site for over a month.

Looking at my pm box, there was no pm from a month ago, I save most pm's, there are two pm's regarding the annoucement dated 9/22, they are identical and obviously sent AFTER the mass disabling. I doubt staff mass deleted the original pm, nobody seems to want to believe that people didn't get it.

I'll say it again, BCG rocks and the extra week was an excellent idea for everyone IMHO.

*edit - The global annoucement window DOES NOT auto clear for new announcements, I just cleared the one I had, and a new one came through.

[danio]

maybe people have old announces that they haven't cleared? i'm not sure but maybe newer announces is placed "beneath" older ones?

[Raban]

so now they've taken to announcement spamming to fix this problem ... unbelievable.

its like they are desperate to hang on to those last 100 retards who have been so dumb as to ignore the previous 10 announcements...

[stoi]

Damn i have missed all the fun havnt I lol

My ISP disabled me again 2 weeks ago, just got back on now and see all hell has broken loose.

My inbox here is full, with HELP!! my account has been disabled, and I do not have the time or the inclination to go through and answer every single one.

so what i will do is, delete all my messages, and if anyone is still having problems, send me a new PM tomorrow and if i get time i will look into it for you, but as it stands atm, i know less than everyone here (I have not even read any of this thread, I quite literally got back online 2 minutes ago)

[kaffeine]

Welcome back mate.

[Raban]

you didn't miss anything. .. . .

[stoi]

Well i have just been reading up on things.

The staff took a ton of abuse when all this happened, in our IRC channel, so the staff decided to re-enable everyone, and give everyone an extra week.

what gets me is.

1. We sent out at least 1 announcement about this, maybe even 3-4 i cant remember now.
2: How anyone can visit the site with an old announcement still stareing them in the face, that they have not cleared. you have to clear them to see the next one.
3: News Items on the home page.
4: I tried to send 2 emails, but they only went to the first 5,000 members and did not go any further for some strange reason, but then i would gather most members used an email that they cant get to anyway, so pretty pointless even trying that.
5: We took the mass PM function off in favour of the announcement mod, storing 50,000 PMs on every mass PM is a big hit to the db, for size especially.
6: We said we were going to do it on the 15th September, so you got an extra week from what we said originally, and still 22,000 did not do it, it just boggles the mind.

In all honesty, if i was around at the time, then all those 22,000 would definately have not got their account back, everyone has had plenty of time, and if you do not view the news page, clear old announcements, or come to the forum, then tough shit.

so you are lucky i was not around at the time.

[Raban]

so you are lucky i was not around at the time.


when i told them (tidus, etc) they shouldn't do it... if you look back at my poasts i said all it would do is delay all the "HELP!" msgs another week...

but they wouldn't listen... said they didn't wanna lose 14k members... or as I think they should be known the 14k "retards" who ignore 20 announcements

[stoi]

Well according to alt, LOTS!! were prepared to pay to get their accounts back, he claims he could have made a fortune, he said he was pleased he just disabled them and not deleted them though (well in hindsight at the time he said he wanted to delete them).

I was not around so I never seen all the crap that was posted in our IRC, but seemingly some of the staff were having a laugh with some of the ones that got disabled, i am not sure how much of a laugh or how it went down exactly, but as alt called it, Beer Games with them, so it wasnt fair to enable some and keep others disabled, so he just re-enabled everyone.

This weekend though, he is going to delete them, those that have not generated their keyword. so if they come and complain there is absolutely nothing we can do about it at all, but we have give all members every oportunity to sort their accounts out, but i bet there is still 15,000 that have not, and we will go through all of this again in a couple of days. :(

[Cabalo]

people who ignored all this announcements, PMs, threads, etc etc etc shouldn't be members of the tracker any longer. as stoi said, tough shit, but i know for sure that if it had happened with me, no one was going to get their accounts back.

[ghurka]

If I were you stoi I think I'd book a weeks holiday....leaving on 28th September :lol: or stick around and just have a good supply of paracetamol for next monday.

Just reading the forums on bcg will give you a headache. Some of the really dumb questions about this keyword are unbelievable. New heights of dumbness abound!

[Xapsa]

I can't wait till the 28th and see how many pinheads still haven't generated their keyword.
If all you do is go straight to the browse page and never even look at the news page one time in a whole month then I would guess you aren't a good member of that tracker and you deserve to get your ass kicked the hell outta there.

[Raban]

If all you do is go straight to the browse page and never even look at the news page

thats the thing ... even if you DO go straight to the browse page via bookmark you still don't miss the announcements that come up... they show up on the browse page until you "clear" them.

[Xapsa]

Yeah I understand that but even so, if people NEVER check out the news page what kind of member are you? I'd rather lose you than keep you.

[jbloggs]

I'm sure there are more than 15000 people waiting in the wings to snap up these deleted slots, but they won't will be made available otherise this whole process would be pointless.

[stoi]

OK.

http://www.blackcats-games.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=23572

That forum thread shows you the fake page and how to use it.

Now, without the fake page, and without the keyword, we cannot get the referal system in place, as the referal system uses the fake page for your referee to input his referal code.

so the sooner we get the keyword worked out for most members, the sooner we can get the referal system in place (after some testing of course).

and we just sent out another mass PM, there are now just over 10,000 members that have not got their keyword.

[Funkin']

That's actually a nice looking fake page.

[Unstable1]

Crikey, this'll teach me not to read announcements. LOL. Just reading this thread now is the first I've heard about this. So I've just created my Keyword now, thank god I haven't lost my account.

I check my BCG account about once a week too, so I havent a clue how I didn't know about this.

[kooftspc11]

you were banned for making too many gay sexual advances toward stoi

apparently his wife didnt approve :/

[stoi]

We have just deleted 9,000+ members.

If you did not do your Keyword, tough, you have had plenty of time to do it.

you will just have to try to get back in with our referal system.

and hopefully if you do, you will keep more up to date with news items and mass announcements and global announcements in the forum.

[Trippin']

We have just deleted 9,000+ members.
Ouch, that's a kick in the teeth. :pinch:

[CPC464]

lol

anyone who is now banned deserves to be banned. Announcements are there to be read and at bcg announcement relating to this have been there for weeks.

also i find the announcements at blackcats very annoying as you have to scroll right down every page below them. ( so no argument for not seeing them) anyone who has deleted them without reading """tough"""

lol, maybe people will read them in future

i think the fake page is a great idea and won't find it a problem at all. being without bcg would be far worse a problem.

[puckface]

[FileZ]

delete acc , banned users , open for signup , genrate keyword ... etc , whatever they made BCG will never be a great tracker

:lol: .. True that ..

[stoi]

I would rather have 15,000 good members on the tracker, than 15,000 and 30,000 hangers on.

Open for signup, not sure what you mean, if the referals work then we will never be open for signup again.

Keyword, sorry if its to much work, would hate to put you out, you could have just said no if you couldnt be bothered to do it.

Great tracker, each to their own, I dont even think we are great, because we can get better, and hopefully doing everything you just complained about, will be a step in that direction.

[Funkin']

9,000 members deleted? That's just crazy.

[stoi]

We still need to do the mass pruning we promised as well last month.

we done the KL and that got rid of 3000+ of those, just need to do the Users, PU and SPU now.

I am guessing by the end of that, we will be down to about 15,000-20,000 members left (we have just over 29,000 now).

so there is still more pruning still to come.

You think that's crazy, well you ain't seen nothin' yet. Wait till the new secret hand shake feature is implemented. You will have to plug in a robotic hand into the USB port and you will be assigned a unique secret hand shake. If you get the hand shake wrong three times then the hand will delete you by squeezing the living $h!t out of you but if you get the hand shake right then you get the added bouns of using the hand for other pleasureable uses :naughty:

:D

[optimus78]

stoi I enter my keyword and nothing happening
please help me

[yevgeny]

^

ive tried it both in ff3 and internet explorer and get the same result: it takes a while to appear ive been able to log in twice, other times i enter the keyword and nothing happens. i was worried about my account for a bit :) so yours should be the same.. i hope.

[Funkin']

Good, so I'm not the only one having problems with it. I enter my keyword into the box(without pressing submit), and nothing shows up at the bottom.

[Trippin']

The site is running pretty slowly at the moment, and seems to take a while to recognise your keyword. Just type it in and give it a few secs, should work fine. :)

[Funkin']

I've been waiting almost twenty minutes now. I"m sure it's just a bug. I'll check back in a day or two and see if it's working.

EDIT: The boxes finally showed up. I forgot in Stoi's thread he said not to copy and paste the word into the box, and that's what I was doing. So once I typed the word the log in boxes showed up. They still took about two minutes to show up after typing my keyword though.

[stoi]

Yeah i think its struggling atm, to say the least, server load is through the roof as well.

IE 7 64 bit works fine.
Safari Works fine
FF works fine
Opera works fine
Chrome works fine.

but it has just taken me a good 5-10 minutes to get the boxes on Safari and Opera, but earlier on IE it was instant.

all i can say is, just bear with it for now, we are caching them so once most members are signed in and used it, it should settle down.

[fisherman]

Running smooth and fast over here :)

[primevil]

It sure is taking a long time to log in. I am surprised at how many disabled users.

[nickolai420]

hi,
I registered for my keyword, but it does not work. It was my understanding that you enter your keyword into the search box and after pressing enter it redirects you to a login page. Nothing happens for me, Did i miss something before the switch or am i missing a step?
I am not asking for anyone else's keyword, just some help.
Thank you
nickolai420

[stoi]

DO NOT PRESS ENTER.

just enter your keyword and wait until 2 boxes appear at the bottom of the page.

[nickolai420]

Thanks stoi, i got ya.
i missed that link you posted to the forums on page 15.
I fail at reading.
thanks

[potter0602]

G'day Stoi

Having an issue getting onto the login page, I generated a keyword prior to the new login procedure but every time I go to http://www.blackcats-games.net/ I receive an "Address not found" error. I have tried both with firefox and IE, was my account banned? I have my keyword all ready but no where to go.....

[integral]

Try adding 'index.php' to the end.

[potter0602]

Still no luck dude

[rakichaneru]

Hey stoi, if you're still visiting this thread I have an issue that I don't think is related to this at all. I've generated my keyword and was prepared for this, but I can't log into the website at all. I'm getting a 403 Forbidden IP address error. I read around and it looks like this means I've been banned or disabled for some reason, but I my ratio was positive and I only had 1 hnr or maybe 2, because I downloaded some stuff on my PC and then moved before I could seed for points, and my PC is still shipping. I think maybe I've been accessing the site with too many different IP adresses or something since I've been moving around the country/world lately (coming back from Japan) but I don't know for sure.

I tried to get into the IRC channel to ask for help but I can't seem to connect to it, (www.blackcats-games.net:6667 #blackcats), but I found this thread from googling the issue though and saw you posting so I thought I'd try and ask here.

My BCG account has the same name as this forum account does.

[physter]

So 9000 people didn't notice the keyword thing?

Rules were you only had to log in every 60 days, I logged in last week and probably no more than two weeks before that and I didn't notice anything about a keyword.

It's a pretty mean trick to play on members, no PM, no email, no warning, just lock them out because when they log in it's to go find a torrent they want not read the crappy news which 99 times out of 100 never amounts to anything. Always hard to read stuff on that site anyway.

Poor show, poor show.

[stoi]

not my problem and this is your 3rd post in 3 threads complaining, and this is the 3rd time i have answered, we have been telling everyone for 2 months what was going down, i even made posts on here even though i didnt have to, actually i probably shouldnt have done, but i did.

and you still didnt know about it, sheesh.

and i like the way its never your faults, its always ours for not doing enough, well personally, i do not know what else we could have done.

[potter0602]

Are you able to comment on my issue a few posts backs re the - address not found? If not I will ask again when everything settles down and its not so crazy horse.
Cheers.

[physter]

I'm not complaining, it's your site you can do what you want, I'm just surprised and more than a little sad.

Anyway, let this be the end of it, I'm history and that's that, it was great while it lasted.

All the best, may you always prosper.

you didn't come on here asking why you had been given upload, maybe you saw that announcement, or if the announcement said BCG is now freeleech and x2 upload you would have seen it without a problem.

your already stringing along one persons heart...no need to feed your ego any further--it may just throw up

whatever

[rakichaneru]

Hey stoi, did you miss my message or is it just not something you're concerned about, I really liked the community of BCG and I don't want to give up my account there if I don't have to. I don't really want to PM you because I'm sure you have thousands of them. It's at the top of page 19 (my question).

[kooltilldend]

if u didn't create the keyword, ur account's gone

and not even stoi can help u with that (nor will he coz u can't read basic announcements that were sent like 5 times)
