- "the story no one knows is how many websites were affected because of their actions. They took legitimate business servers that had nothing to do with the software pirating just because they were hosted at the same company. Several of my websites are now done and they refuse to give the servers back so I lost all my content"

- Next Update at: 9:30pm EST

- [BadGirl] is now known as [\DrIcE\]

- [BadGirl] is not really [BadGirl] but an imposter, who is framing her for the narqing incidents of a German Site, putting the blame on her would be the easiest way as she was the last person causing trouble in the scene.

- WoW (DivX, VCD, SVCD) says: "We had heard about iMATIONS drop from the scene and we are sorry to hear that, but we do not feel the increasing pressure that some of the other scene's do (i.e. divx movies) and we will continue to bring the fans what they have got from us in the past, regaurdless of the recent news as of right now we have haulted uploads and are uploading only internaly, but we will be back soon"

- Regarding CSR: "we will continue to release as soon as our sites come back online (although for the time being it will be 2001 only; easier to dupecheck). Also, BaLLz got busted because of his ties to the iso-scene, it was totally unrelated to CSR. I don't think he was even on any topsites, just our internal rhq."

- Regarding IRC server logging I asked a irc admin friend of mine about what he thinks. He said the following was just THREE days worth:
Server send: 956.95 Gigabytes ( 421.5 K/s)
Server recv: 52.13 Gigabytes ( 23.0 K/s)
To log all that, should have a lot of TB's. I then asked him if I could parse the info as it streams. He said the connections between the servers are encrypted and he doesn't know of any fed servers that get the traffic through. And even if there was one, they'd have to work against the cryptos with all that traffic. A good link to read would be Click Here

- "iMATiON officially closes down as a group as of this moment. Its fear that our leader TK might have been busted as he pinged out the morning of the raids and he pinged out about the time the raids were supposed to have happened.... as well there were raids done at his university. as I'm saying to everyone else... take precautions to protect yourself and hopefully everyone makes it out on the other side"
