The gmail accounts are probably used as throwaways. Don't want random spam in your main email account.

This :-)

My domain is also registered under a gmail address. If an email addy is going to be shown in WHOIS lookups, I want it to be an email spam-can account (MSN, gmail, yahoo...) and not my ISP, or @domain account.

The gmail account I used is a haven for spam now. The provider and domain accounts are free of such annoyance.

Why they use gmail is beyond me. I would have completely assumed it was a phishing site. Guess not. What alarms did it set off Lemmonhead?

this is what FireFox does when you try to go into the XTH....

Secure Connection Failed

www.guildwar.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for www.guildwars.com

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Or you can add an exception…

Like i said if its a site that is own by Anet then coolness.. if not then its a FYI for you guys...

That's some pretty prompt customer relations. GG.

Now ban leechers and bots from Fort Aspenwood.

Ty!

I had Mozilla/Firefox go off about this site for a couple of days. Said it was a malicious site and when I googled it google said the same thing. It lasted a couple of days and then all of a sudden it disappeared and I was able to goto this site again. Makes me wonder what happened to cause Firefox and Google to go off that way about this site?

IIRC Firefox uses Google's SafeSurf thingie to display messages about "phishy" websites (it happened to Guru when there was a nasty outbreak of spyware'd googleads?), and from personal experience it has quite a lot of "false positives", i.e. non-malicious websites being rated potentially malicious.

GG Regina.
