Vladd44 down! New Patch out soon!

[P2P_G]

Vladd44, one of the biggest WinMX forums/Patch site has went down, it has been down since yesterday.

http://www.vladd44.com

I hope that it will be back up soon!

Btw, a guy from the Pie-team has said to mee that a new patch that will block more flooders will be out next week!

P2P G

actually the great patch they are talking about that blocks flooders and filters fakes came out ages ago...

http://www.winxgroup.com

vladd got himself in a little bit of bother by charging people for winmx claiming the money was to pay to keep it running (btw he does not pay for any of the servers that keep winmx running, and neither me or any of the others who do have or intend to receive a penny of that money and we are just as pissed about it as the users)

the claims of them releasing a clone of the winmxgroup patch were made in their chat room to try and cover up their theft, after being asked what right vladd has to demand money for something he has nothing to do with it was "to pay the website hosting costs" then it was pointed out that hosting a small website like that costs hardly anything, so then it became "so vladd has a lot of money if anyone sues him"... which naturally got a very good reaction so then it was changed to "oh erm, to pay a team of programmers to come up with a great patch that will be really good and block flooders and filter fakes"...

basically they are trying to cover their arses over their charging people for a free program that has nothing to do with them

<[W/Â¥\W]Neutron> so the patch won't be free?
<Kayleigh> ofc not

kayleigh is of course one of the main "pie" admins

As usual we are forced to second guess vladd as he seems to have no time to spare on informing users of his plans or schemes that are likely to affect them.

To my mind he is not helping anyone by taking paypal donations from users and not saying where the money is going to, if its to finance a new patch (as mentioned a week later by his supporters), on the surface this would seem helpful, as its been nearly a year since they last did anything to it and that was adding an installer to the basic host file (2k in size, 200k installer), although after his attitude of advertising pay-for -winmx on his many sites we do not feel his actions are in the best interest of the community, after all a patch he is claiming to create with the money already exists despite his teams policy thats has for the last year been against blocking flooders on supposed legal grounds, why the sudden about turn ?

Just to fill you in on the damage the fake file flooders do with the help of host file users, I present this information for you to all read through.

I hope you can all agree with me that there is nothing illegal about blocking unauthorised access to your machine by companies intent on attacking you whether or not you share copyrighted files.

PS: P2P_G you cant block more than 100% of the flooders, and the winmxgroup patch already does that

Yeah i know that http://www.winxgroup.com has that patch allredy but not the Pie team. So im right

vladd got himself in a little bit of bother by charging people for winmx

Complete bollx

Never has there been a charge.

Even if there was a charge (which there wasn’t), who could blame someone for making money from something they created?.. its called business.

[P2P_G]

Well thats not true, he has never charged for anything :S

[TheDebaser]

Thats right P2P_G, like I just said.

Some people will make up all sorts of accusations when they have the inferior product.

Why was Pie attacked?.. Because it’s the number one patch and posses the biggest threat to the movie/music industry.

[TheDebaser]

Im not having much luck getting help at this email address either, but ill keep trying

When did vladd create WinMX?

It could have been the other pie team that has taken down vladd44. Ive been told he has asked to leave the pie team. The mxpie.info site is still up that is the team with out vladd. Only the mxpie.com site as well as the vladd44.com site is down. Who knows.

Never has there been a charge.

indeed there was, why do you think everyone suddenly got so pissed off with him? it went from purely banner ads to make money to actually taking the money directly from the users

Even if there was a charge (which there wasn’t), who could blame someone for making money from something they created?.. its called business.

and what did he create that he was selling? last i saw he was selling a hosts file april gave him that used the servers created by me and ranma and hosted by me rock lep and sabre... and prior to that was selling a hosts file sabre gave him that used ranmas software hosted by sabre and lep

selling something other people are paying for and providing for free isn't a scam? like charging someone to park in a free parking space that the government put there - would that be a scam?

Babelfish has no translation for this. Would someone care to try?

If you are trying to make a point it would help if you took some time and actually proofread what you are trying to say before hitting Submit. While I was eventually able to somewhat figure this out, the meaning was lost to me because of the quality of the presentation.

also thought it might be worth adding http://www.winmxworld.com/forum2/index.php?topic=3215.0 to the thread... yes, vladd has even stooped to offering $1000 for whoever can give him my name and address so that he can come and well guess what he wants to do to the person that has exposed him for the person that he is...

i think you can be quite sure that vladd has no intentions of doing anything good for winmx, he made it quite clear long ago that he didn't care about winmx and this just proves that he considers himself to have completely lost any hope of being able to destroy winmx as he wanted to

[chuck]

Km ive been wanting to say Ty for all the help youve given mx this last year and would like to send you some cash to help you on your work. Could you please pm me your addy and your name so i can get this in the mail.

Ps anyone know of a good cpu and a mobo, o and a good vid card SLI for around $1000?

Once again Thanks Km ill be waiting for your info.

[eclectica]

Vladd44 is a piece of shit and I realized that back in 2003 when I got a sense of his personality on the Zeropaid forums.

And he more recently spammed bulletin boards using clones or assistants while trying to promote the sites vladd44.com, mxpie.com, and gemini777.net.

[Keyser_Soze]

I can't believe what a load of argumentative w*nkers you all are. KM you have written a good patch no doubt, but don't come airing your dirty laundry here when you have your own forum to do that. I hope to God this thread gets locked because I can't believe I wasted my time reading through all your crap!

product

Why is it called a product and not just a community tool? Why would anyone fight over something thats to help the users of this fine community? Where is the gain? Someone must have a vested intrest for a personal gain or it doesnt add up. But who?

[SlyckScratch]

This thread has continued to deteriorate and doesn't look likely to recover so I think its time for a lock
