[vbteam]

[clarksta]

yer i just dropped it as its no big deal ill move it over to an offshore account i have that should sort this little issue out

btw "lot of haters"?? what you mean by that then?

[detailz]

Harsh that is... i remember i got reported to IPS after only a week when i had WrzTalk up lol.

[Hawk]

I don't think one person reported you it may be a lot of people thats why there taking action. I consider them as 'haters'.

[clarksta]

well the thing is no one knew it was there as it was only used as an email base

[clarksta]

there is no need it was only used to email members from the db
the forum was inactive but had a good member list

[Core]

Get to offshore and save the hassles

[UltimA]

Ever considered the forum you were using for mailing members wasn't nulled properly?
If it's not correctly nulled, it can still call home to Jelsoft.
