Unfortunately the moderators in their infinite wisdom have "closed" the torrent-box thread.
There are a number of iburst and other myadsl members who may well wish to discuss and inform others about the status of torrent-box, therefore i propose we continue in this thread.
Please do not use this thread to vent old feeling wrt the former formite known as "slimothy" unless it relates to the topic of torrent-box.

The infinite wisdom does not exist. Only reality. The moderators made a very simple call to end the thread. It was purely a move to stop a "emotional" thread from reaching the number of pages that the "thread killer thread" would.
The fact is:
Torrent-box.org is:
OFFLINE, or NON-FUNCTIONAL
This may change when/if slimothy returns to support his customers. Direct your emails to him.
Please direct all financial enquiries and support issues to admin@torrent-box.org
This notice is here is a public service announcement.
Thanks, MyADSL administration.
There's no point for any other "torrentbox" threads to exist, other than bitching.
Slimothy has clearly indiciated zero interest in supporting his paying customers over the last two weeks.
Quite frankly the bitching has to be directed to admin@torrent-box.org.
Not these forums. Torrent-box.org was never endorsed by MyADSL, and never will be.
Take your "wisdom", and direct it to where it belongs. Not the administration.
This thread will remain open for "riposte" and whatnot. Not for bitching about slim's lack of service.

forgive me if I don't fall down on my knees in gratitude
BlobNow. We're saying that the topic of torrent-box.org has come to an end. There's one person to speak to, and that's slimothy, and you have his email address. He won't be back here, because he's banned. Those are the facts. If you'd like to continue this topic, take it to Off-Topic.
If you took up his services, then so be it.
The reason for this forum existing, is the discussion of broadband, and DSL, iBurst, Sentech and other providers. Slimothy has taken advantage of this community (as have other people) by advertising his service, and not supporting it.
You may direct your anger at slimothy, or me, for moderating this fiasco, if you want to. I'll leave this thread open so we may discuss your anger issues about slimothy's service, and how they are directed at the moderation of this forum. However, it will not remain within the iBurst forums. They'll get shipped off. The Torrent-Box episode is now officially off-topic.
Whilst I see the value in ranting, the fact is that perhaps 10 or 15 people signed up for torrent-box. They rest of iBurst subs do not need, nor do they care about torrent-box.
You don't have to kneel in gratitude, by the way. All that's really required is to click thru on a couple of the advertisements you see around here. That's what makes this place tick, and pay it's bills. Not bitching about slim's lack of service, and your problems with moderators doing their duties.
The fact is: this forum is NOT a support area for torrent-box.org's problems. Direct them to admin@torrent-box.org.
This, and any other threads around torrent-box, will be moved to off-topic.
TheRoDent
29-10-2005, 04:17 AM
never used his service or a torrent for that matter ;)
My only problems is with mods exercising their godly powers way too often around here. But hey, it's your party and you guys do what you want to ...
This forum in it's entirety has been very light on moderation. There are no "godly" powers. Merely decisions which are good, or bad for this forum. As far as a moderating decision goes, the moderation of torrent-box threads is a good decision. As you've indicated you don't actually have any interest in this thread, and this is why your posts are being deleted. You are bitching for the sake of bitching.
This thread will remain, as a warning to other would-be torrent-box.org users.
Torrent-box's "services" is a perfect example of why MyADSL members should be careful of people on this forum.
Slimothy has let people down, taken their money, and left no explanation (not that he needs to leave one here, he has all of his subscribers' emails)
Moderation is about what's in the best interest of this site. MyADSL has prided itsself on being inclusive, open, and very slightly moderated. We cannot, however, and will not, condonce his services, and business arrangements.
Torrent-box.org discussions are closed. They're slimothy's problems. And slimothy is banned, for very obvious reasons. Take your problems to his email address, or the thread that has been moved to the "Forum Gripes" section. Slimothy's services are no longer relevant to the iBurst forums.

Complaining about it is a waste of time. Still - I'd let the thread run its course. Its the end of the month and people are losing the bandwidth they may have hoarded in the hopes that tb would have been fixed. Personally I think its better off not getting fixed cos I can see repeats of this debacle.
As an aside - I finally got my feet wet in the usenet world - wow - now thats fast but unlike torrents you're not paying to upload and download first before you get your complete file. Being a complete noob I'm using a service that searches and archives all the files into a nice zip file which I download via http.

Slimbo was more bark than bite it seems. Sad but true.Out of curiosity and not wanting to be accusatory but what do you think the expenses were? Some shallow digging show xtreme hosting as the probable host and they're not exactly bank breakers. Their basic package is only $10 per month and the premium is $39 - both include domain reg.
Anyway - enough speculation - it doesnt get me my money back so whats the point. Live and learn.

Sorry guys have not been following this thread actively. My suggestion is as follows.
We need to contact Iburst and get his details either by asking nicely or by Section 205 subpoena.
A case can be opened up for comercial fraud / theft under false pretences.
Once this is done properly (must be done correctly) we can go and get him.
If he is overseas then we can get a warrant issued and interpol can and will investigate.
Let me know what you wanna do.

Not to be the eternal optimist, but I think madiba has more chance of turning white. I think only the USA has enough policing to handle these sort of cases succesfully. Here unless you in a small claims court you are going to spend LOTS of money to prosecute him. Also unless his name is Slimothy Bin Laden, I don't think Interpol will want to know.

a warrant out for anyone's arrest and if that person is out of the country then Interpol has the obligation to act on that warrant. It can be done and yes he has commited fraud / theft. All depends on the investigator.
Slimothy thought he was so clever in stealing people's money well he is not that clever. Anyone can be found.;)

If this is a LOT of money you guys have lost, sure, go for it.
If it's a small amount and it's a matter of principal for you, great, go for it.
But is it worth the effort ?
If you find evidence that the guy is defrauding all over the show, then sure, definately worth taking up the case, but if this is a one off f@ck up by someone who bit off more than they could chew ?
Anyway, we all know that Slimothys name is Warren Smith
http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?p=193281
http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=Torrent-box.org&type=domain
The internic results show an address in Atlasville.
We can also track his name servers, which also point to the Atlasville address .
There's another email listed with that registration info, warren@cowdays.com, which is bogus or no longer exists.
Finally, it's likely that he hosted with these guys :-
http://www.xtremehosting.com/
At least some of that info is correct, I definately think that Warren Smith is the name, plus I think Antowan (or one of the admins) have his old contact details.

Is this the same Slimothy, that made all the comments he did with regards to Peapod and who made all those comments about a certain "scam" and got himself banned :confused:
If it is...
Sorry I am going to piss myself laughing from the irony of the situation (However I do feel for anyone caught in this mess)
bb_matt
15-11-2005, 03:38 PM
The thing that makes it fraud, is that slimothy failed to halt new signups on torrent-box.org!!!
slimothy, knowing that the service was down/unavailable/broken should immediately have halted new signups/registrations on torrent-box.org, I don't know if that has been done yet, but I checked on numerous occassions, and the site was still accepting signups/registrations and more importantly money.
Hopefully those that have fallen for this, will be able to get their money back from Setcom via the credit card company, and it might not break their bank account if they never get their money back, but add up all the money from all the people that did signup after the service was broken...
Sure, this is why I did some snooping about slimothy - it's easy enough to get a lead on where the guy was at last, for all we know, he's probably still there and not in London at all.
If he's in London, good look finding him - hahah - interpol, yeah right.
"Hi Interpol, this is MyADSL from South Africa, we have a lead on a major fraudster, possibly involved in organised internet crime"
"How much does this involve ?"
"Er, about £400 ?"
** click **
Seriously, there's sweet F-all you can do except to try and get your money back or try to track him down and contact him and find out WTF he thinks he is playing at.
I seriously doubt that Slimothy knew what he was doing when he setup torrent-box.org, even if he was in it just for the money and screw the service, he still has stuffed up.
As I've said before on this issue, I think the guy just stuffed up big time and did a runner - bit of more than he could chew.
Of course, this may be one of a hundred similar scams he's pulled all over the internet - entirely possible, except for one crucial thing - he participated here for a long time and was actively involved at some points, hardly worth the effort for a few thousand rands. I suppose that if you have 10 of these gambits on the go at once, you could earn money before moving on and assuming another identity.
My gut feeling tells me our Warren Smith is not this type of person, but then, I'm not the kind of person to sign up for a service like torrent-box, not unless it has major backing ;)

@bb_matt, I agree 100% with what you've posted so far, and I do agree that it's highly unlikely that slimothy intended for any of this to happen, but why did he not halt/suspend/stop signups/registrations?
Ultimately everyone who paid out cash for a torrent-box.org service that they never received, should call their bank's credit card division, ask for the fraud department, and get them to reverse the charge - there will be a procedure that the credit card people have to follow, but you should get your money back eventually, and hopefully Setcom will stop accepting payments from torrent-box.org, i.e. cancel torrent-box.org as a registered merchant, which will hopefully prevent people from being suckered as their payment would hopefully be rejected - they won't know why, but the money should stay in the account.
Mail-order and Telephone order transactions (Moto) can be reversed up to 6 months. (using Credit card of course) If there is no card-holder signature its up the the recipient to proove he was entitled to the cash.
Money transfers/orders are another completely different story

As posted elsewhere...
No, actually my last contact with Slimothy was on the 5th of September. All e-mails sent to him post that date he has not responded to. I attempted to e-mail him for the last time on the 31st of October, and no response. After reading the slate on this forum I presumed he has skipped the country- possibly because of the Celemasiko issue, which by the way is no big secret, except this forum's management likes to think it is. There appears to be a casual link between the Celemasiko debacle and Slimothy's disappearance. Or perhaps banning him hit a nerve and made him snap, who knows!
I was under the impression that the torrent-box service was free and only available to people he trusted. Well, maybe something has happened to him. Instead of making assumptions and levelling charges why not try and find out where he is, go take a drive to his home, phone his number... and prove for yourselves whether he is overseas or not. Not one of you will do that, for sure because it's easier to condemn and judge and pass verdict on a forum, than getting off your arse and taking a drive to the East Rand to Slimothy's home and find out where he is. For all you know he could be in hospital, a victim of the crime in this country...
If I hear anything I will post details and PM the affected parties. Case closed!

Huh? :confused: Plenty of people have had contact with him since the 5th of September so that just infers he didnt want to contact you for some reason.
Have you taken a drive past his home? As you might be able to gather from my sig I dont think I could justify the expense for a $10 T-B account. BTW - by now you should have also picked up that the service wasnt free either. I'd try calling but I fear the operator might laugh her arse off is I asked for the number for a W Smith - address unknown. There are over 225 listed for Gauteng in the online white pages.
And a casual link between Celemaskio and Slimothy? If you can explain that one I'll tell you who shot JFK.
Case not closed. Ciao.
Honestly... I would say something here but I decided to keep my peace... I know I am smarter than you lot :)
PM me for his address.
Oh well, as I said, I did not follow the torrent-box route as there are other, more efficient methods of bypassing p2p shaping which I am using and I have no need to complain about iburst ever :) Slimothy did offer me an account for free, or gave me the details to run it on my box, can't remember it was long ago and that discussion was on IRC. So that's why I am in doubt!
As for the casual link, he knew something and was asking questions on the forum and it got him banned. So he hit a nerve because he knew something that he shouldn't have and the powers-that-be decided to ban him... That is what I believe and I do not believe the moderators or the forum owner. Before he got banned, he gave me a lot of info about what's going on behind the scenes at this forum.
As for the dates given above, it's all factual and correct those were the dates I last had contact with him on a personal level :) I cannot get hold of him, have tried!
hey, Kei. just "visiting", or can i say "welcome back"? :)

That may have unseen repercussions. I know a Warren Smith (personally) that didn't even know this forum existed until I told him a few months back. He also works in IT and also lives in Kempton Park. It'd be sad to see him suffer from something he never knew about, never mind did.

a) it's what people "check" to see if you're financially black listed. if someone (like ur bank) gives you finance, it also says if you're a good payer or not
b) yup
All you need to have to do an itc check is his ID number, name, surname. And there is ways and there is ways... one can do an itc check if a friend working in finance have a facility to do it and the itc check would show the company who checked him/her
untraceable except for the company who checked it.

Hi guys I got word from Sli, he's currently busy with some other project, as for the torrentbox it's dead KAPUT NO MORE.
For those that have used the service only to lose it, it's unfortunate but you did get your moneys worth. For those that paid SETCOM and never got to use the service you could attempt to contact SETCOM for a refund.
SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE.
P.S. If you are pissed off at the agreement he cannot be held responsible as it clearly states in the "Agreement" the use of illegal downloading is forbidden and your account can be revoked.
*SIGH* there goes any chance of decent downloading in SA :(

Prove it was illegal. Does not matter, he still cannot take money and break contracts. i never gave him one cent as i knew he was a criminal from the beggining and you can tell him i said so.

Well he took money for a service whether you used that service for legal or illegal things is your business. He terminated your service then without cause or letting anyone know and failed to refund the cash so .....

Yeah sure, that is why he disappeared like a skunk and suddenly became not reachable. He also monitored the torrents downloading and decided they were illegal. Remember the story of him moving and opening up again.
Sorry he is a cheapskate cheat and nothing else!

LOL... so you're saying a car salesman who let you buy a car from him, whether you use it to get to work or to hijack somebody, is your business - this makes a car dealer a criminal? :D
