Scrapebox.com down for 2 days / license also not working

[wagdoscharmelou]

Is it still down? It looks like they have 2 servers and that 1 is now down. Has anyone had any word from them to see if this is temporary?

No mate works fine. It was a server deployment down..

Ah ok, I couldn't be bothered to go through their 1990s style license activation process to see if it was working anymore.

I remember spying on the requests Scrapebox would phone home with back in the day - they were serving up pages full of javascript that would crash older browsers to try and hide what was going on behind the scenes.

i remember back in 2011 when i first met sweetnfunny, the person in charge
of scrapebox - we made a deal, i promoted scrapebox for them on my old
proxy site, in return they gave me a free scrapebox key.

and when scrpaebox found out i wouldnt sell my products to new
bhw members - they revoked my lisence ......no1 dictated my selling policy..

so in 2023 after sweetnfunny completely abandoned his/her scrapebox
sales thread and buyers for over 6 months, mods shut down the scrapebox
sales thread - see post here.

and they complained i wouldnt sell to new members while abandoning
thousands of there own customers and in 2026 the scrapebox team still
pay for vip while avoiding there sales thread. so be careful

They do seem to be quite self-sabotaging when it comes to sales.

For everyone affected by this, I recommend taking it as a sign to move your scraping jobs on to A-Parser

300$ for a license and you will have to pay for updates....no thank you.

And not sure I could ever trust someone who clearly knocked their website up quickly with Gemini.

Anyway... Scrapebox is working fine, so never any need to use an alternative.
