Show/Hide Mar-21-11 - Paypal Problems, prize draw, and we need your help - (stoi)
long version and comments
http://www.blackcats-games.net/forum...howtopic=48689
general gist of this.
1: Paypal email, as we accept donations, to provide proof we are a charity, tax returns, bank statements etc, but as we are not a charity, impossible to do, if we dont within 7 days, the account could be restricted/closed.
2. Moment of panic, after receieving email, sent the hosts cash for 2 months server fees, up until June 1st (so at least the site should be safe till then) but this did mean paying it with what I had planned for the prize raw amount, luckily i never put an amount on the prize draw yet, but as you can imagine thats back down to 0 (it will still get drawn, and we didnt have enough in to draw it anyway, and now i have 0 in paypal with paying 2 months server fees)
3. It would be advisable if you didnt donate for a week or 2, you still can if you wish (or donate on the blog, more of this in a minute) but you wont get the benefits on the blog (and there isnt a donate link yet anyway, but there will be), its just incase they do close the account, which is a worst case scenario.
4: the blog can be found
http://www.blackcats-games.net/blog/ It is integrated to the tracker, but you do need to to logout of the tracker, log back into the tracker, go to the blog and log in to that as well, but it should remember your pass from the tracker, we need lots of entries as it needs to look like its been up for 7 years (and we have about 4 days to make it look like that.
5. Blog entries and comments do not need to be essays, but also they need to be a bit more than 1000 entries by the same member of +1, so try to get creative.
6. No mention at all of P2P, Filesharing, Bittorrent, Trackers, Modded consoles, etc etc, try to keep the blogs as legit as you can please, if paypal do go snooping in them deeper, i dont want them to find something they can close our account down for.
7. The blog is a dummy site which we will lead paypal to, they wont see the tracker and the forum at all, we obviously will not be opening up for a bit either because of this. (but it wont be closed forever).
Thanks in advance to everyone that helps out with this, it is quite a big task, but with 38,000 tracker members, I am sure we can do it.
PS: this probably turned out to be a longer read than the forum thread.

Show/Hide Mar-15-11 - Japan Earthquake and Tsunami - (justincase)
We at Blackcats-Games would like to extend our hearts to all those in Japan affected in anyway by the recent earthquake and tsunami. What i've seen of it has been unbelievable and almost surreal. We hope that all of our Japanese cat brethren are safe and sound.
We have also been asked about our Staff members located in Japan, TSFTD and Pezby, and are extremely relieved to report that they are both alright.
Discussion on the matter can be found here:

Take care, everyone.
