Agreed m8 i have no intention of paying them anything and i certainly will not be paying any money to any of the other sites going forward. I am more than happy to do my own searching.

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
The pay thing that they seem desperately to get up running does sound a bit dodgy I'd admit. But is downloading NZBs illegal in anyway? So the way I see it is that if you've still got credit then it's ok to use.

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
He seems to be getting there slowly, Mysql error showing now.
Merlin has been suffering some problems of late, I hope he can get it sorted and stick with it.
I just hope the leechers don't start attacking him again

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
zing - what's the score with merlin ?
URL still pings so I'm guessing it's a major rebuild ?
Missing it !

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
He is still trying to fix it was the last message I heard.
Something major has borked the database.

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
I think it's more than just a fecked database.
Looks like someone has hacked the server more than anything else....

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
I usually use Merlin's portal, I'm a VIP, it's got the best search engine, most other nzb sites suck. Why people are slagging off Merlin I don't know, problems ocurred after they changed providers, since then the database has been knackered or hacked or whatever? I hope it comes back soon, I miss it.... the site below is about the best of the rest.

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
Well i just read on another forum [and i dont know if the poster IS him] that Merlins is'nt coming back and it seems he's just taken the money and ran.
Not sure if you remember recently he was asking [more or less] for donations etc and now it seems he's not answering his mail either, so unless i hear otherwise thats it.
I'd like to go back and tell them its a lie but there's no info, nothing.

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
as far as i remember he was actively discouraging donations the last few months, but if he has decided to call it a day i wouldn't blame him after the abuse given, following the issues the site had, from some leechers

Re: Merlin's Portal is down
It would appear that a lot of the mods/uploaders/familiar faces from MP have opened a new site.
