so what

[Gentleman]

Routine message.

All FTA sites have similar messages due to high server loads. Most likely will be back up when fixes are out.

[alsouthster]

hint....site security....beware of suspicious emails...

[mikepr]

I find it extremely funny when people jump the gun because they cant connect to a website...all sorts of rumors start flying around....I have 3 or 4 I cant connect to today because of maitenance...one is a sportscard place ...one is another collectible place and one is a information place..all are said to be doing maitenence and will be up in the new uear...relax people..if a site is down for a couple of days so what...it doesnt necessarily mean the site is gone/banned or whatever

[alsouthster]

so what? LOL
well, you know that the site in question was named in the vs lawsuit, right?
and you know that any time a site warns its members to "beware of suspicious emails" (from whom? who has your email address?) then a red flag should go of in your mind unless you are a fuckng idiot

[Gentleman]

Anyone who posts their real email address at any of the FTA sites IS an idiot.

Always use a third party email provider.

[Bartman69]

The only red flags I saw today were the challenge flags inthe footbal games, lol.

[alsouthster]

Ok so here is the latest...mods if this is getting too ridiculous pls delete.

But I figure people should know there is something weird going on here, and it is worth watching and being careful about, seeing as the original site in question (whichever one that may be now lol) has already been named in the vs lawsuit.

ps I am not bashing vs nor looking for a quick fix ;)

This is from totalfta.com

NOTE: It has come to our attention that a group of competitors have opened a site with the name similar to this one and are claiming to be the true owners of this web site. These allegations are entirely FALSE. Beware of suspicious emails as we will never email our members without posting notice on this web site prior. Trust the name you know!


This, on the other hand, is from the new site, which claims to be the original with a new name (thetotalfta.com)

Totalfta.com has been hijacked
thetotalfta.com is the new domain



...anyone care to explain?

[talon05]

just went to the new site all looks good so whatever the site was ok but over the past few weeks there fixes were slow to be posted and were always one step behind either way..Anyway Crow is probably the man to answer any questions when it comes to anything involved with fta Crow you THE MAN

[tvdick]

just came from the site look good all mods are there and giving response to question onwhat has happen

[mtmt1us]

I just looked at the new site and it looks like an exact copy of the old one (back when you could get on anyway). This is weird shit for sure-maybe charlie in disguise ?? I did not even try to log on. Could not read forums without logging on so I left and will not go back to either one until the dust settles. The last fixes were at another place before total anyway.

Like Al said be careful for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gardish]

It is a wierd situation. Funny how that new site is exactly the same, what one is the real totalfta? they both say the other is a fake...lol Lets get the conspiracy theories rolling, I believe george bush jr. took over the site because he was sick of his viewsat going down so now he has all his own personal coding team. Hes back up now the rest of us are not. Maybe michael moore would be interested in making a documentary about it.

[gardish]

also at the new site I logged in automatically. wierd.

[tile]
