The first link (haven't read the others yet) mentions being shut down. Is legal action pending? If not, I assume they will just open under another name.

The shutdown is a result of legal action but I still suspect that they will open up under a different name/location.

Wanted to give both of you stars, as the "battling spam killed reporters"! Good job in keeping us informed....

Just one question. Should the thread be renamed to 2 down, 999,999,998 to go?

 

[smah]

No, the 1,000,000,000 was probably off by 1 to begin with

 

[2ffat]

Probably. ;-)
