Peaches, really.. stop talking. You don't have the first clue what's going on. If it's in REGISTRAR-HOLD then it's no longer in the zone file.

Time to sue.

I can't believe they would shut down his entire account though, even domains that weren't in question.....jesus, i don't know what I would do!

This is why I'm thinking its a lot more than its been said.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sorry - since I've never had a problem with my domains, no one's ever put them in "REGISTRAR-HOLD" status.

Un fucking believable thats BULLSHIT, id be on the phone with your lawyers right now for hurting your business especially when they told you they would give you an extension

works fine for me, damn those broads on majorpervert.com do look underage though

This likely means they have already reported him to the FBI and National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

there is probably some wisdom in spreading out your domains across registars - so when someone illegally tries to play internet cop the damage can be minimized. :2 cents:

yeah, wouldn't they just shut down the one or two domains that had questionable images?

not to doubt Slick, he seems very up front, but I can't imagine Mike @ Directnic basically pulling the income out from under someone just like that, seems very unprofessional and risky

Directnic really should allow you access to your account and allow you to take your domains and your business elsewhere.

Shutting you down after all that has been said by them on this issue is....excessive. There is a difference between questionable content and blatant CP. Questionable needs to be handled fairly and equitably, not with a heavy hand until the case is proven.

holy shit this thread is moving fast

Brujah, I have a feeling that directnic is doing exactly what people suggested - take screen shots, report it to the authorities, and shut it down until they get an answer.

...and people were bitching before. :(

All his content is from fhg's this is insanity

You guys telling him to sue.. maybe you should be thinking that DirectNIC has found evidence or believe they have evidence his site was promoting illegal and underage content?

Will it have any impact on the sponsors he was promoting? The ones whose FHGs were being promoted.

correct. That was my point in that other thead! You definitely had to check your trades better and find out that many of them are nothing but proven pure cheatting scumbags!! :mad:

I am so sorry to hear they shut you down though :( They shouldn't have done this that fast :( Damn man, I don't know what to tell you...Go get lawyer and talk with directNIC people about getting back everything to normal...by the time try to contact sponsors of those galleries as well and get full 2257 docs or simply delete those fucking thumbs for the God's shake!!

Hope all will be ok soon....

Good luck!!

yes well I guess that not guilty until proven turns out ugly

I don't know how much DN relies on adult, but I hope for their sake it is minimal as this is the beginning of the end for them I would guess.

Would be nice to have some light on who shut it down ...

He says it isn't the host, so DirectNic or the Authorities did so.

No shit, the last I looked 48 replies, 49 views lol.


Anyhow, it definately is the registrar:

same here...........

Contact your attorney and proceed as they advise. This is a serious disruption to your business and I hope they can help restore it asap.

Correct assessment.

That's extremely fucked up, they went against their word. Not good business ethics IMO. Didn't they even shut it down earlier than their original e-mail stated? Fucking shady right there.

o fuck... and I thought they are trustworthy...

The thing is that my sites are my life, my living. I have a family and bills to take care of. I'm not sure what's gonna happen if I lose most of my traffic.

You have somewhat less than half a story... we have no clue what has said or been done in the last 24 hours.

I agree with most of that. I don't think they should have locked and pulled his domain until he's actually proven guilty, charged with something, or ordered to do so.

I think they should have reported it to the domain owner, the host, and appropriate authorities to deal with. Let them order the registrar to shut it down after investigation by those who are probably better trained and experienced to deal with it.

this thread makes me happy that

1. I don't have my domains with directnic
2. I don't run tgp's so I couldn't care less about the 2257 issues

Slick, I hope your situation gets resolved though

good luck

Guys, come on, give DirectNic a little time to respond here. Catering to 1,000,000 transfer requests in 15 minutes is probably a little time consuming.

At this point you should be on the phone with your attorneys and hoping to stay out of prison. You've more or less been branded a child pornographer now.

I haven't heard anything from them since yesterday, so I'm not sure why they just pulled the plug without warning.

If you see the sponsors listed on my page, you'd see that they are ALL legit sponsors. IF the girls are all 18, it's legal, case closed. It shouldn't be "well, they LOOK younger than 18, it's illegal, shut it down".

Have to agree darksoul - it does not take a doctorate to see certain content is in an area which would interest Federal law enforcement - which was kinda disappointing to see and showed yet another lack of judgement. Webmaster need to take fully responsibility for their website content - not quibble over it.

As far as DN is concerned - don't agree with their interference one bit. They deserve everything which may be flowing their way - and to loose a % of their client base. If they had a complaint - it is not their job to investigate. The complaint should have been passed direct to law enforcement.

For Slick, your judgement is a problem here. You are/were a law enforcement target, but hope that you don't have further problems since you appear to have the message. Good luck on this!

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion so fast. I think there is more to the story then both parties might be saying.

Spammers get there domains locked up and taken down all the time.. If there was any BS on these domains and I am not saying there is - well we shall see.

In this political env. were in - DN might of made the right choice. I am sure we will here the whole complete story soon enough.

As far as mike goes, we have pissed many a time in the old days but I have never known him or his companies to blatanly fuck someone over for no reason.

I suggest we all wait and see what the "whole story" is.

peace

Todd

I am just going off the original letter he received from them stating that he had until 4:00pm on Dec. 18th before they would shut him down.

Doesn't surprise me coming from a host that's been busted for squatting in the past. Who knows wtf else they do. :2 cents:

Same thing down here in florida as well. Me myself have some domains with them thats has nothing but FHG stuff on it as well. Needless to say im the fuck out of there. Maybe posting this on gfy wasnt your best choice from the get go. Maybe they said fuck it and reported it to be spiteful.

Slick did you have any luck with the sponsors in question workin with you on this? Now what happens to the mans domains? how much traffic you had going thru your network slick ? Sorry to bombard you with questions but this issue is gonna be hot right now. Cause if this happened to you this could happen to anyone...

majorpervert.com looks wayyyy CP.

I guess that could be a reaosn. you say it´s all 2257 comp but how will they check all these pics with 1000´s of custodians of record.

And there is a big chance that some of these pics are underage ..
