ANYONE now associated with virtualget.net will now be tarnished from the outset. There's no win for them now.<br /><br />Mr. Dagger: I saw the same thing, and I'm glad they reacted quickly, but--especially considering the current grid hysteria on stolent content--this was NOT the time to have an automated program scuttle off and leech images and ad content from XStreet and slapt.de.

The site...Saw this on their web page this morning:<br /><br />The site is currently down for maintenance. Please excuse the dust, and try back later. <br />Registrations have been temporarily suspended due to members signing up during our development phase. Update: We have taken the store completely offline until we get things straigthened out. There is alot of misinformation about fraud which we would liek to address. We had 0 traffic on this site as it was for demonstration purposes only to show a client what the commerce script was capable of. Nowhere on the site were users able to put in billing information. There were 5 accounts created other than the development and system accounts and they were all created today. They have also been removed.<br /><br />The products on this site have been loaded for visualization purposes only. Please contact support@virtualget.net (update: the mx server was not even setup for emails, we appologize, it now works) for more information.<br /><br />To all product developers and creators: we apologize for using your content on this site, it was added via a crawler to populate the site. Rest assured, we have not sold ANY of your products and do not intend to display them without your permission, it was an automated mistake.<br /><br />Any complaints sent to the host of the site and the registrar have been dealt with and we apologize to anybody who came across the site during its development phase.<br />- The Administrators of VirtualGet <br /> <br />The Admin / Webmaster has enabled maintenance at : 2009-10-07 01:56:18 <br /><br />Icterus DaggerIcterus Daggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540131959894781663noreply@blogger.com
