What Happened?

Somebobody please fill me in........

I've read all sorts of things as to this meltdown. Good, Bad, and indifferent. But the worst part is mostly

bad. Other watch forums are out there celebrating and bragging about the down time and the lack of

info that we as WatchGeeks could not get at. So someone out there, Meijin, Please fill me and the

others in. We deserve an explanation as to what has and is happening............

The site was hacked the day I left on my vacation to Las Vegas. There was nothing that I could do until I

returned home since I took no computer with me. It is now back up and running.

The WatchLards and their ilk are morons who have nothing better to do other than talk smack about that

which they don't know and can't understand.

Also moving this to an appropriate forum.

ps - Those with Facebook knew what was going on Thursday.

Not to crazy about FaceBook. They ask too many questions and the vulnerability of you and your info has

little to no control. So if I get lost, I know how to read a map and a compass. I will find my way

eventually. Thanks for the offer though........

Watch Lords?? I would never give any credence to those fellows, because their only reason to exist is to

bash this site. Without that central theme, there is no other content! If the folks had a positive reason to

exist, perhaps it might be worth some of our time...... JMHO

Occassionally I will pull some of their posts up by mistake when doing a search on the web. All you have

to do is read the hate, venom and profanity that comes from the vast majority of the posters to see that

there is no class in Lordville.

There's nothing wrong with Timex watches. As their ads used to say, they "take a licking and keep on

ticking" and, which wasn't part of the ads, they don't cost you an arm and a leg. They're perfectly

functional, not overly expensive time keeping devices.

Rich, I agree with you. That site is full of hate and anger. I really don't see it

though. This is a hobby, not a way of life or a means of survival. These people

seem to spend all their time towards a (negative) watch forum and seem to

have forgotten about life altogether. Their primary goal being bashing and

denegrading anyone and everyone associated with WatchGeeks.Net. Until this

happened, I never heard of Watchlords......

It makes me wonder what else do they have or consider important to their way

of life. Don't get me wrong, I love my watch collection, but if it has to, it can be

replaced.

I'm glad WatchGeeks is back up and the REAL WATCH FORUM is ALIVE and

well.........

I have to admit I never heard of or visited Watch Lords until this week when Geeks went down....All I'll

say is this :

After only 1 day of searching that site I deleted it from my Favs list.

They were the most unprofessional, vulgar bunch of haters I have ever been witness to.

Wow ... really really bad.

Glad Geeks is up again

As you know i am new to the watch game. Even though i have been collecting for a while now i have

always felt that it was about passion for all watches!. And to be a tru geek is to have passion and a sense

of style for life. I observed watchlords because our site was down and i of course was going threw

withdrals lol, lets just say there exactly where they should be!, growing up is hard to do lol. Peace out!

Did anyone as a result of this vacation go through "withdrawl" symptoms and realize they had become

dependent on WG's?

Anyone make changes as a result, like committing to spend more time with family and such? Just

curious, I did...

I did visit other sites and could not believe all the hate. All the B.S. just assured me that this is the place I

would rather be. Count on my loyalty not wavering for one second Michael. I know the geeks here are

stronger than ever, so folks we need to put this behind us and let the big guys deal with the jerks. Hope

ya'll are fine and I look forward to the usual fun, creativity and well informed threads (like always). JoJo

First off I would like to thank Mike Davis for getting the forum back online...Second, Given the

motivation of the person or persons in question that hacked this site, I would hope that the mods that

helped to restore watchgeeks back to its former glory have taken into consideration that the ones who

perpetrated this act will likely do it again and again....So I hope that proper security measures were

taken to insure that this incident doesn't happen again...I also hope that Mike D and the owners of this

forum will take find those responsible for the 'hacking' breach of security and contact their respective

ISP's..I'm sure this little stunt is not in keeping with the hacker's ISP TOS...

Thanks again to Mike D., the Mods and to IWG for restoring the site..

Jon

getting site back up.

I did break down and check out facebook to get some updates, and there are some good people there,

some that would fit in here very well, I think. I personally still don't get the facebook craze though.

It might be good on a personal level, if you have a manageable number of friends on your wall, but 8000

people posting and no way to organize it? Not for me, thanks for getting watchgeeks back up!

Watch Lords?

I've been a member here since the end of '09 and I seem to learn something new each time

I get on to this site. What is 'Watch Lords' and why do they hate us? I'm a little naive here.

Thanks.

Sorry Mike

I apologize Mike, and do hope you had a great vacation. I saw your posts on Facebook and

all could think was what a bummer to have to come back to a mess. Again, thanks. Like

most, I get onto this site daily.

That's what comes from members with a preteen mentality.

Man I am glad this site is back up and running. I thought maybe the Mayans were wrong

It's nice to see we didn't disappoint the Lords of Flatbush. They said we would be posting

how glad we were that WGs was back up. What they don't understand is that we are also

glad that we don't have to read any more of their feces. I could only stand about 2 min. of it

and had to go take a shower. That place is like pergatory for banned ex geeks who couldn't

live with the TOS over here.

Many, many thanx, Michael for getting us back on line. It was a rough few days. I

do hope that some sort of legal action can be taken to prevent this sort of thing

from happening again. Some folks really need to be shown the error of their ways.

Welcome back watchgeeks.net

I was beginning to have withdrawl symptoms from not being able to check the daily mail at

watchgeeks .

Am happy you guys are back up .

I bought several new watches from Android while we were down , the Armor 50 , in the

orange and the green while on sale .

beautiful timepieces will show pic's later .

Did anyone else pick up something new during our little rendezvous with the bad people .

Glad to see the site back up and running again. Fortunately looked at other sites

during the absence and just ensured the fact that this one is the best! There are

some really senseless sites out there!!!!

I must say as a person who does not use fasebook or anything of the like I really could not

find any information about what was going on. I felt so left out in the dark and wondered if

something I had posted got me banned. I could think of nothing I could have done.

Well while trying to find some info I was directed to the other watch forum. This gave me

such a laugh. I have never read so many hatefull posts. You would think from their ranting

that Watchgeeks is the biggest threat to America. I showed some of the posts to my wife and

we had some good laughs. WOW - Watchgeeks has really got under thier skirts for some

reason.

Makes me all the more pround to belong to Watchgeek power. We are such bad bad persons

collecting watches over here.

Glad you're back Michael!!! and Thanks for getting this site back up and running, I think we

all missed it.

To briefly address the "hacking" issue, I assume WG administration or whoever can prove

who did the hacking? Otherwise, as an attorney, I would advise everybody here to refrain

from accusing people of committing federal offenses without proof. Liable and Slander suits

come immediately to mind. Just my unsolicited 2 cents worth.

as you were...........
