Here’s the GF statement:
First off, please allow us to extend our apologies for this major issue. We owe all of you an explanation regarding this.
A few months ago, we received several spam complaints from our players being sent by the domains you found in your host file. At first we tried to calm our players down, stating that we had nothing to do with these properties and were not responsible for their actions. However, the issue repeated itself several times within a short time span, causing us a mass influx of complaints.
We decided, albeit foolishly, to resolve this issue by blocking the domains which cause our players grief through the software. We did not intend to ever block any one else, nor impair revenues for affiliates. We now realize that this was not the right way to go about this problem. We will be issuing a fix for this very shortly and we will correct this problem within 24 hours.
We sincerely apologize,
Talia
