These guys are the worst spammers of any NZB index I've ever seen. From Reddit:

I've received emails from them at 0520, 0527, and just now at 0824, all with the exact same message (gmail gave it the "quoted text" treatment).
I did a search for "shared usenet" and found these results:
*Jun 24-new forum and shared usenet account announcement *Aug 3-shared usenet accounts go live *Aug 3-"new feature notification" (shared usenet accounts!) *Aug 3-another notification that shared usenet accounts have gone live *Aug 4-same email as the last one from Aug 3 *Aug 5-my personal favorite "this is the last email we will be sending for a while, so take this as a notification to frequently check the page for updated accounts etc..." this one announces they've added 6 more usenet accounts available for usage, bringing their total to 16 *Sep 6-server usenet farm changes, 50 new accounts added *Sep 10-server farm changes applied, 25 today and 25 tomorrow *Sep 15-more accounts added to server farm, final chance to upgrade to unlimited (damn it's November 5th I missed out...) *Sep 21-apologizes for forgetting to push the allow button on the update to the page, now all info on website is correct *Oct 8-another 20 accounts added to server usenet farm, join while you can at the $50 rate cause they're raising their prices to $75 upgrade and $125 newcomers *Oct 9-appears to be same email as Oct 8 *Oct 22-last chance for server farm upgrades. "must read" *Oct 22-same email as above, about 8 hours later *Oct 24-"this is your absolute last chance" to join the shared usenet accounts page *Oct 28-same email as Oct 24 *Nov 5-same email as Oct 24 *Nov 5-same email as Oct 24 *Nov 5-same email as Oct 24
fuck this, UNSUBSCRIBE
They still have their overpriced "backup block account plan" for $125.00 a year. Will the public ever wise up? If you fall for this crap, you almost certainly deserve to be screwed.

It's a decent site but the upgrade to the server farm is worthless. They have 70 accounts and I literally tried logging in to every single one. I could only successfully log into four of them but none of them would download although my Astraweb was still functioning.
Petitioned for a refund through Paypal and got my money back 48 hours later.
