    Important Anouncement UUGallery License Holders. PLEASE READ THIS.

    Over the day I've had a number of people contact me wondering what's up with their licenses not working right now. At the moment I do not officially work with UUSoftware, and I am not a partner or running the customer support for the company any more. However I am often in contact with Paul and don't mind helping people out with the script if they need it.

    So here's the situation at the moment.

    Paul (Chariott) is away on a business trip until the 25th. It appears that sometime early today, late yesterday UUSoftware's site went down, taking down the licensing server with it. I have not been able to contact Paul as he gets limited if any internet access while he's away on work. After the site being down most of the day it didn't clue into me until just now what is going.

    That fucking douchebag adrotations bombed phone 'false whois reports' to ICANN on my domain, my hosts domain, and is suspected to have done the same to the domain of another adult webmasters forum where he has been openly critcized. it just now occured to me what is going on here. I am 95% sure that the fucker grabbed uusoftware.com out of my signature and sent off a false whois report regarding that domain also.

    With Paul being away at work I doubt if he had a chance to respond to any warnings issued or to verify his information before the domain was suspended. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but it just seems that this is the most likely scenario at the moment given the recent happenings. I'm hoping I'm wrong and that the server comes back up for the good of the license holders, but at the moment it's looking like this is the case, and it more than likely will not be straightened out until AT LEAST the 25th when Paul returns from his trip.

    I ask that all license holders bear with this downtime until things are sorted out. Oh, and Chuck, if I find out this had anything to do with you reporting another bullshit false whois, you can be DAMN sure I'll be calling your local police department next.

    Please keep this bumped up for me and other license holders to know about the current situation. I'll keep everyone updated on what I know of the situation regarding UUGallery. Also feel free to direct all your hatred towards [email protected] for his ignorant ass little false whois stunt which is now affecting not only, myself, other critics of his tactics, our hosts, and now each and every UUGallery license holder too...

              So, is Paul going to change this script? Seems kind of ridiculous that it would even function that way to hit a license server. Just as many of you have seen, if that's down, you cant work on your site. I don't like the idea of paying for something and having this happen. If I PAY, it needs to be up - end of story. The script is pretty cool but having this makes me want to just dump it.

                  Yeah thats not a great way to set up[ a piece of software tbh. Regardless of whatever the story behind this all is, it has put me off buying.

                        Well, yesterday I contacted Paul's registrar explaining the situation. I wasn't and am still not fully 100% sure that it was a false whois report which took the site down as I have not received a written response from the registrar, nor been able to contact Paul yet, but following the outbreak of phony false whois reports against domains of my own and associated with me I am still fairly positive. Either way the site appears to be back online as of a half hour or so ago. So hopefully everything holds together for the time being. If anyone has any suggestions as to how Paul can better the licensing system I'm sure he'd gladly listen to them, but at the moment I think that this is the best method he has for protecting his script from illicit unlicensed use.

                        I'd like to personally apologize to the UUGallery license holders for any inconvenience this may have caused over the past couple of days. I didn't think fucktard Chuck would go as far as to start slamming false whois reports against people and sites other than my own in our little dispute.

                          Good news its up again! But its plain stupid to handle the licenses like this! Im pretty sure he didnt sell 10.000+ licenses so he should manually check them if he cant pay his hosting or what ever... just the oldschool way. The current situation is just far from beyond..

                                Ya shouldnt rely on a server being up to use the script

                                    I haven't been able to reach the server for days now.. but he warned me on icq that he is updating the script to wp 2.5 and will be down., I haven't seen a software or script writer yet, e.g. Adobe or Comus or Smart Thumbs and so on who pulls the server down while updating their scripts.

                                                I'll dump anything that needs to phone home for access. Just a bad business model to begin with.. "I don't fucking trust anyone! So if you want to use it, you'll need to be anal cavity searched before I'll grant access!"

                                                Ugh. I like TGPXs way of doing it though... it fingerprints some code in the TGP layout that unique to the server license.

                                                  No idea why is this.. I got to know Paul as a nice and helpful and responsible guy who takes care of his family and kids and has been friendly always. I liked his software also and used to have in my sig.. it is so sad.

                                                    Yes, he was always nice to me too. Oh well. I just bought the software like 3 days ago too!

                                                      Everything has been running fine for a while now. And the script does use a backup server to authenticate the licenses. The impact on license holders was not as serious as I had initially feared. The main domainw as back up within a week or so, and aside from a few license holders everything should have ran smoothly still. I'm pretty sure Paul has sorted all the issues out with all of the people I was aware of having issues at thisd time.

                                                            Look.. I did not even fly his site with ref code in my sig lately, just a plain url. He needs a living, he just cannot afford to treat his customers in this way like it happened now or they will leave him. Easy as 1-2-3. I know he has problems, (don't we all.. ) but he can come out the depression if he delivers.

                                                              Sorry is the functionality back yet? Mine still isn't. I know people have problems too it sucks sometimes. But a product like this should have more support if it has to call back to a server.

I have to say that the last LivePornBlog's problem was that I forgot to manually add his license and that's why it didn't worked for him. Now it was fixed and we are moving further. Nevertheless, I added an extra check for licensing service to make sure that it works great in some peak situations.
