every registrar will shut you down for abuse-spam related issues, its just a matter of time when.

Down for me also.

Just wait a few hours and you can't acces your stats anymore:thumbsup Allready down here and more people see the domain as down!! NOT GOOD:(

Yet another reason to go with directnic.com - the founders started in adult and you can always talk to one of the owners. When/If something goes wrong, it's nice to know you can go straight to the top to get if fixed! :)

After what happened when some dolt reported Oprano for spamming when they had signed up for the NatNet football pool and got an email regarding it, I wouldn't be surprised if some other dolt reported WEG for spamming when they were a webmaster on their list. :(

I'm sure WEG will be up and running again shortly. And the fact that their sites are up means things are running fine to the surfers. :)

seems like they will be down for 2 days:(

alright so we might have to change some linkcodes..... just because their domain is down doesnt mean they are..

I just said the same exact thing to 3 people who icqd me about this

thats where all my domains are...

Still up for me. Maybe its still propagating.

So who's to say an affilliate of a program spams a bunch and since he's using a program's code, GoDaddy decides to do this to that program...?

Sounds like they're shooting first and fuck the questions, by the looks of all the domains they're doing this to.

This is total bs on godaddy's part.

We should all be supportive for wegcash, you never know if it could happen to us all!!

well i guess i won't be having any GoDaddy domains

Spam or no spam quite frankly that is too much power for a registar to have. I understood when you had that privacy option in your whois to hide from spammers.. but this is just crazy.

If godaddy can't understand that they are a huge company and has business of sending out bulk emails then what's next?

I don't see anyone bashing WEG -- godaddy's taking the hit... and it's well deserved.

:thumbsup

pull your domains from go daddy

boycott them

:BangBang:

anyone try calling them?

Wegcash that is..

i am lost here wegcash.com is working for me

wegcash has probably the largest double optin adult mailing list and one of the largest overall in the world and these clowns decide to take their domain down? they deserve a lawsuit

you know, I get email from godaddy and I have told them at least 3 times I did not want the emails. I even checked my profile to make sure none of the "i want this crap" boxes were checked. But I still get their fucking newsletter. Like I give a crap if the .us shit is on sale.

maybe we could get godaddy taken down for spam also?

lets all e-mail go daddy ...hahah

Just understand, from a hosts point of view... you fix your shit NOW or your off the fucking network. I have had too many threats and have even had an entire IP block of mine suspended due to "slow" reaction to a spamming complaint from verizon. As I said before, they have all the right in the world to do whats needed to rectify the issue until it is settled with the client but making it public like this is bullshit... Very bad biz practices in my mind!

and they had to get em on a saturday..when we cant get ahold of the wegcash team..!

im tryin to get tonda on ICQ

i'd be shocked if weg didnt have their lawyers get involved. malicious intent to disrupt somebody's business. thats fucked up.

I do not want to make any early assumptions so I will keep this brief. All WEG employees are aware of this situation and are working to get it resolved as soon as possible. As soon as more information becomes available I will let everyone know. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

WEGCash Staff

P.S. You may reach me at [email protected].

I agree Hooper..

coo beans if u need anything holla

someone said something about accessing stats

What about the traffic you're sending, I'd worry more about that. Stats can be retrieved from a temp domain or server IP, won't be so easy to change 9150915081309819085908103958019835091385 links. No sales for 2 days.

Cool.. i just spend some money on sex.com for their ppc program, i want to use with wegcash..
Just busy making some galleries for wegcash, and now i read this.

ah well, going to look for another sponsor i will use then..

godaddy sucks! what self respecting bulker uses them?

GoDaddy better run for the boarder.

I know WEG has all their attention on this right now and is working on an immediate solution. They have a good tech staff and good people, everyone is in good hands with them and shouldn't worry too much about it. Let their lawyers deal with it:)

Holy shit, is this true?

Ron,

It's ok to be a little loyal to a company for a few days :)

Jesus everytime a host, processor give a program some problems, you don't have to jump ship ASAP.

Wegcash, Jordan, etc have been around for many years...

They got some pretty cool DNS servers, I didn't know those one's existed! :Graucho :Graucho

Sounds like a fair policy. However, the problem all large affiliate program owners have are their renegade affiliates that spam like crazy to generate signups. I know many look the other way, even though they always say if you spam your account will be terminated.

Its a big problem with our industry and not much can be done to stop it.

who's your daddy?

I'd have said it's anything but fair. It's a HUGE opening for anyone to close any domain on godaddy just because they don;t like the people running it. I'm amazed that with a policy like that anyone uses them.

Somebody pissed you off? See if their domain is with godaddy. Piece of piss to get them shut down it seems even if only for a short span of time.

It's a horrible policy.

Quite easy for people to get joe-jobbed or other malicious behaviour by anyone out there.

I'm sure if it happened to CJ.com that Godaddy would think twice about just downing the site without consulting a legal task force and CJ.

Sorry for posting links to another board - But I think in this case it is to show a little support to Weg cash and a barrel full of shit to godaddy.

Read these and you will make up your own minds about this fucking registrar

godaddy is wrong for suspending a domain like this. Especially without any kind of investigation, notification, and due process. They are ripe for a lawsuit on this issues. Hopefully WEG's legal team takes a nice bite out of them.

WEG's staff has been in touch with DirectNIC and we are helping them anyway we can. I know the guys at WEG and know they run a top notch orginization. Running one of the nets largest double opt-in mailers probably leads to problems from ignorant, or malicious surfers.

I personally have a few small 4free sites, and opt-in mailers and I know we still get random complaints from people who have opted in.

I know WEG will bounce back quick, they have a top notch staff...

Thank you for your help Mike!

Yes, Godaddy will change your nameservers on your domain and lock you out from changing it if people complain to them about spamming. It doesn't matter who the person is. So if you have even a newsletter that you send out and you use godaddy as your registrar and somebody complains, you could be gone!

Imagine if yahoo.com or hotmail.com was registered with godaddy, the domain would be shut down every other day.

Once wegcash pays the "spam fee" to godaddy to get their domain back, it will still take another 48 hours until the domain starts to resolve for everybody around the world. So they could be looking at a 4 day downtime.

wow fuckin amazing.. im pulling my godaddy domains right now.. fuck them

hm, you have right there.. maybe my reaction whas a little to over reacted.

I will keep using them, and now im going to continue to make some galleries to promote wc...

that really is fucked up on GoDaddy's behalf. everyone should really complain to ICANN about this and they should NOT be allowed to do this!

I dont know what the ICANN registrar contract states but GoDaddy's T&C's cannot override them!
