Payservers

Posted: 7 december by Ares

Let me be as clear as possible on this issue:

PAYSERVERS ARE NOT WELCOME!

We are actively banning members that run a payserver and we are hunting for payservers as well. Other forums that keep banninglists will inform us and we will ban if needed without warning. 

Today we banned about 10 members that are known for running a payserver. Payservers are asking money for sharing, we do not support this....

New crew member!

Yes, we've got a new crewmember at Cardshare.net!

His name is Wing, he's originally from Croatia and he speaks Dutch, German, English and of course Croatian. As you can see he speaks a lot of languages, so he's our new language guru :)

Give him a warm welcome!

Eurocardsharing.com offline for a while...

Posted: 27 november by Ares

A very respected cardsharing website, Eurocardsharing.com, is offline. The reason is because they are under DDOS attack. DDOS attacks are very lame attacks done by computers that are infected with a virus / trojan.

Wikipedia says: "A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users."

People that do this should be prosecuted, they try to be anonymous and hidden. But that won't always work, so let the hunt begin! :)

Of course you can spend your time on Cardshare.net in the meanwhile, but we hope that Eurocardsharing.com will be back online soon. We wish them the best of luck!
