What's the learn function?
Learning mode is an Scrapebox add-on that lets you program it to post to new platforms.

yeah... maybe Sweet Funny needs to charge a little more for the product and buy some new licensing servers. Perhaps store licensing data on something similar to amazon s3. Obv. he will lose out on future customers and word of mouth if the servers stay down long enough which I think we all can agree is bad for business.

My opinion...i dont think that this issue is related with a DDOS attack, bringing down all the scrapebox servers..yeah meaby 1.
The DDOS attack overflood the server with requests till the point of saturation.
Example: all this Annonymous thing, taking down goverment wb site, they need hundred of machines sending request to the target ip address....I think Sb "servers" deals in a daily basis this kind of request when the users validates their licences.
Even so. Lets say it is a DDOS attack etc..etc. This type of attack stops once the objetive is down, and to launch the server back on track it shouldnt take more than 2 hours.
Its been like 12 hours right now, and not a word of Sweet Funny...I really, trully want than this issue is just because a DDOS attack, but i doubt it.
srry 4 the lazy gramm

Create a new service, double-click it and make it a parent service, add footprints, and then use the Platform Harvester function. I'm doing it right now scraping Moodle sites.

there must be hundreds if not thousands of different Ips hitting the servers by this momment
i just cant find anything related with any kind of organization behind this attacks. Nothing on IRC also the onion net.
So (no, i dont thing the goverment its behind this...yet) must by a couple of hackers, hired by some X entity (looking 4 some kind of beneffit from this)
If so, this is a thing planned with time, cuz you need to plant bots in computers around the world and activate them to send at the same time, thousands of requests to the sb servers.......
........
mmmm...
ok, No more sifi movies for a while
ps: Or its just a google payback

Wow, am I glad I found this thread, I was about to buy scrapebox after reading about it on here earlier, but noticed a few recent posts complaining that it had stopped working, now I come back hours later and find it still isn't working and the thread has grown with similar complaints. Talk about good timing.
I know some have said that its worked flawlessly for the last year, but thats not important to a new customer, its more about what its doing now, and how reliable it will be in the near future, and this thread is not exactly a good first impression. Think i'll give it a few more months and see how this pans out, as i've lost all confidence in its reliability now, but just thought I'd post to thank you for making this thread, highlighting the scrapebox issues and potentially saving me wasting $57, at least in the short term!,
Its worked since it's release in 2009 flawlessly, not just the last year. As some have said they may have been ddos'd, in which that is out of their control and not their fault. Don't let that keep you from buying an amazing program.
