Title: What's happened to videogame den?
Post by: Spector on August 11, 2008, 07:19:59 PM: It says at the link http://www.vgden.com/vgden.htm "account suspended".

What a shame, it was a great site. Is that it gone for good then?

Post by: lkermel on August 18, 2008, 11:39:52 AM: Hi Guys !

Thanks for worrying about me and VGDen :)

I had some really bad issues with my hosting company (avoid 'gisol.com' like the plague ! they're a fraud). I'm sorry but the site will be down for a few months. I may use this opportunity to fix up some of the reviews and articles. I'll probably also have to change the URL which is the most annoying part... oh well... I'll keep you updated on what happens... but the site will be back !!!!

I'm so sorry how you've been screwed. If I get my hands on them, I'll kick their asses so hard and so far that they're gonna need a passport to take a shit. I look forward to when the site comes back.

Post by: lkermel on August 21, 2008, 05:34:18 AM: Tell me about it ! It looks like a lot of people have been burned by those guys and they'll eventually pay. I kind of was lucky thought, some people got charged a lot more from them. Anyway, I'm still disputing all of this with my bank and I hope I'll get some of it back.
The worse was to actually lose my domain name :( ... I need to find another one, don't hesitate to send ideas my way :)

Yeah man your site was awesome, I saw it the first time some years back while surfing the web, but I had forgotten the VRL, but then the guys here helped me find it again, but now these douchebags suspended your account and is just wrong.

It's been over 8 months since the last time I heard some news. Please don't let that site die.
