What happened to Blackhatworld.com?

It’s been more than 24 hours that the site is down. It is very strange for a big website like BHW to be offline this long. I know there are a lot of people who hate BHW but for me, I think it’s still useful.

Though I don’t agree on piracy and sharing copyrighted materials, the forum is still useful with regards to SEO and promotion strategies.

I hope Blackhatworld will be online again as soon as possible. I know, hundreds to thousands of members are now waiting for the site to come online again. Whatever the reason, only admin knows. I don’t think it was a Ddos attack. The site is still accessible. I think it’s more on database problem.I think there is an error on Vbulletin script.

Let’s wait and see.

And to those people who wanted to turn down the site, this is what I can suggest.

“If your product is shared in BHW, instead of looking for ways to turn the site down, how about contacting the admin or one of the download mods and ask them politely to remove your product from the download folder?”.

I think this is more effective. I said I am not in favor with piracy but you cannot correct a mistake by countering it with another mistake.
