Chatmaster very good post! I am not blinded by what Ziv has become, your basic everyday cyber criminal. I realize his bullshit and do not side with Him at all. My loyalties and friends are here at CAP.
I do however find Ziv interesting, why would a fellow who has contributed so much to the internet turn so ugly? Yes he does laugh because most of us don’t have the faintest clue on what is actually happening. Not sure if I posted this but here is where I know him from.

He also knows who I am and so do most of CAP memebers. For getting concrete proof Ziv is the one behind the 888 thing is not easy, but can be done with investing huge amount of time. When a person accesses his sites he know instantly, just a simple query he will know about. I can attack the problem on many fronts, I could go over to the blackhat forum and throwing shit a round, maybe knock off a couple of people.
Scraping whether screen or web based scraping is illegal this I can prove. I seem to draw a lot of attention on every post I make. They are on me as soon as I post. I don’t have the option to edit my posts, so I left the thread. But I can punch huge holes in His arguements and send a clear message to their community.
Webzcas, happy birthday don’t let Ziv push you around. I do not find him threatening, I was blunt yesterday. I just came out and said it are you Ziv Dascalu? the answer was “yes”. There was no threat, just a request that I remove my post and a invitation to contact Him any time.
I am set up and wired to the hilt. I do have many resources at my disposal, but I am choosing to be a webmaster, not a the guy who is constantly chasing after dishonest people. From the beginning to end, since october 5, 2005 I have smelled this rat, Ziv, Bradon and several others. The 888 thing was a long haul project, It made no sense to me how this company could be worth over 2 billion dollars. It has costed me dearly, financially and emotionally.
I have also been contacted by referback to cough up all the redirects I have logged. Apparently CAP’s aggressive nature on scaping is turning a lot of programs to the path of honesty.
Things are going in the direction I have always hoped for. Thanks for all the hard work on setting up web based rogue pages. A great idea!
I can get the Ziv bastard, and I am sure many of you are capable as well. I am choosing to finishing my site and if there is a major problem count me in.
