          do you know whatsoever is one word?! afternoon dude, ill see u on pboard
          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

            Yes, Xbiz is one of the biggest adult webmaster resources site around. Why do you think there are over 15/20 threads today ?

            Xbiz has over 5.000 visits from Adult Webmasters daily.

            Everyone who run a decent program, content site or what ever has a link on there.

                        I would safely assume that if it were actually being hacked, that the hosting company would have already unlocked the server, or provided a new server with everything restored on it from the backup system.

                        The message has everyone having to come back at a certain dated and time for the next message....kinda like an event setup...get everyone on all of the boards to talk about it....comment about it, link to the site...which is normally a no no from other boards....get tons of traffic and buzz about it, and give a message to let everyone know when to come back.

                        They could not have bought advertising on all of the sites to give them this much pr.

                        Don't you think, if your site was hacked, you would have at least your own message up on the server by now telling everyone in an open letter, and/or also your advertisers that you are working on the problem, and that you will be back up soon, etc.

                        Don't you think that at least the xbiz people, gigacash people, and/or helmy people would be on the boards to keep rumors under control, or at least make one public statement.

                        I think Brandon is right in his assessment. I think it is a PR stunt...not saying it is a bad idea and similar things have been done by national companies in the past to draw mass attention to them. As a consumer I would feel duped. As a webmaster, I am not sure I would like to know that it was just a big pr gimmick to draw back attention to what was once a good resource site back in it's day, trying to get people back again.

                        Either way it sucks. lol.

                                  You guys are more pathetic than a bunch of schoolkids.
                                  If this is a PR stunt then what exactly is so bad about it?
                                  I think it's a pretty good one.

                                  Funny to see that most negative posts come from former xbiz mods.

                                          I could possibly be wrong....then Cheryl is your wife, fiance, partner, etc?

                                          I know she moved to the Netherlands this past year for possibly you, and it looks like you are both partners in:

                                          I would assume with your ICQ number then you are Peter, correct?

                                              I know she moved to the Netherlands this past year for possibly you, and it looks like you are both partners in:

                                              I would assume with your ICQ number then you are Peter, correct?
                                              She is my bizzpartner yes but I have nothing to do with XBiz.
                                              I don't know what is going on.
                                              Ask her.

                                                  maybe nobody at helmy/gigacash/xbiz has noticed that their site is down yet.

                                                        I was being sarcastic. I think it's a stunt as well.

                                                            Don't you think that at least the xbiz people, gigacash people, and/or helmy people would be on the boards to keep rumors under control, or at least make one public statement.
                                                            Ok, Paul, here's "one public statement" > "What rumors?"

                                                            Seriously, I've had a site hacked, and it took me a day to restore it

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                              This is a stunt, no doubt about it. Desperate times form desperate measures.

                                                                              All this does is create hype in which people will keep refreshing the board to see when it comes up and hopfully end up with more traffic and free PR. What better way to plug another board on a board then to make it appear hacked and then drop GFY and oprano in the hacking tag message lol.
