people need to cut sweet some slack and
get of his/her back and quit complaining. over 3 yrs this
tool has been out standing, support has been good
and updates 2nd to none. sure over the last few months
updates slowed down, but if it aint broke dont fix it
this tool has had 99% up time over 3 yrs thats better
than most and for the price you payed for 1 of the best
tools around , all you complainers should shut up.

ddoss there servers.. its no there fault... be thankfull sweet didnt

are you serious ? . scrapebox has ran smoothly for 3 yrs..
thats 36 months. and because some idiot has been attacking there servers preventing
scrapebox from working you have the nerve to disrespect them... all you whiners got a
50$ tool worth 2-300$ for peanuts, had 3 yrs uninterrupted service numerous updates
and free addons that they could have charged you for... and your bitching , stfu
they work hard provide a top noch service, and because there servers are attacked
for a week its there fault ? what an idiot..you should try cumming up with something
factual and constructive b4 you use your keyboard again chud ... respect ? everyone here
respects sweetnfunny.
do you no how much time it takes to migrate a service from 1 set of servers to another
install the software - attach scrapebox to it, set up the authentication servers again
+ install anti doss software and configure it. ide be thank full they dont say fck it and quit.
remind me....who are you again chud , chump, or what ever you call yourself.
keep up the good work sweetnfunny , we can wait, ignore the haters

Its really funny to see how you protect the tool you are making money with. 
But maybe you should learn to respect other opinions. Besides no one says that scrapebox is crap. Try to read. We are just criticising the week offtime and thats normal. There it makes no difference if i paid $10 or $100.

Im not sure you realize what happened, and Id dare say based on your opionons and reality that you wouldn't have dealt with it near as well.
The DDoS was so large scale that SweetFunny got a DDoS server with 10Gbps and 6million packets per second guaranteed, and the DDoS took that server offline while still keeping 3 other dedicated servers offline as well. Thats a Massive attack to be overloading 3 dedicated servers and a 4th thats on a 10Gbps connection. They had to move to a scalable cloud environment that was multi 10G connections. That effectively stopped the DDoS in its tracks. But think that thru. Duplicating servers, provisioning and reprovisioning them, waiting for data centers to try one thing after another, recompiling software to make it work with new servers, recompiling all the 30 something addons and other programs and internal programs, all to try and make it work. And thats not even the half of it.
So that what? So that users can get mad at all SweetFunnys hard work. I think Id be mad at the attackers, because they as good as attacked you, cause they took your scrapebox offline. They had it out for me, and everyone using scrapebox.
Sure, your entitled to your opinions, but Im intitled to say that I think your dead wrong, and your mad at the symptom not the problem. The problem is some attacker out there does't care if you use sbox and doenst' want you to, and people turn around and act like Sweetfunny was negligent and broke their own server and didnt care to fix it.
Anyway, if I was sweetfunny Id be ticked at all the complainers. I hate to have people complain at me when something isn't my fault and I work very hard to fix a problem I didnt' create and for what? So people can complain at me. Pointless. Well thats my opinion.

I've been trying to check the PR of sites using this tool(it used to work before, months ago or perhaps years ago I don't recall exactly when) but now for some reason it says dead proxies. My proxies are fine, I can use them to scrape google. And I've even tried some proxies that I never touched google with and SB still says my proxies are dead. The SB proxy checker google passes them however so what's going on? I have a feeling the addon might be buggy. Anyone else having the same problem?
Just updated it to .50.Seems like auth servers are up.
Btw whoever made some effort to figure SB functions and made some $$ with SB knows that this tool saved us days and days.One time payment,great price,constant updated... Dont spit on them, not because you haven't right to express your opinion,stfu because you are just being ignorant

WOW! That DDOS attack must be huge with 10Gbps and 6million packets per second, I am glad the SB owner has finally worked out a scalable solution for all of us.

Its sort of like this. Back a couple years ago I started making videos for scrapebox and helping people. I did it just to help the community and the developer, and I never stopped. They have been swamped, clearly, and I have made it clear that any info they give I aggregate. So they can give me some details about something once or explain some details about how scrapebox works once, and Ill spread that info to hundreds of people. In time even thousands of people.
So basically I asked them what I could do to help, and in the conversation those details came up. For instance they shared with me that with everything being rearranged, that:
Current versions of scrapebox will still work fine
If you submit for a transfer you HAVE to upgrade to .50 or it will no longer work after its transferred
Everyone should Reinstall ALL their addons regardless of what version they use, because the new addons are setup with the new licensing servers in a more optimal way
So by giving me such info, they know I will use it to help dozens of people on various forums in troubleshooting etc...
So in short, I know the details, because I asked them specifically, so that I could share the details with others and save them some work.
Yeah, I can't even imagine. I know that based on the price for DDoS attacks that buying that large of an attack, that it cost whoever was attacking some serious $$$, or what I would consider serious anyway. So whoever had it out for scrapebox, really doesn't like scrapebox and doesn't like any of its users using it. Likely a competitor who wants to swoop in and get people to buy their software, but thats just speculation.
