    How do you set up  Recaptcha in CB I just tried checking the recaptcha box but does not appear to work. Must be doing something wrong.
  • those was on klevin's email on 11.23.2013 to his subscribers 
  • SvenSven www.GSA-Online.de
    @jonathan - 50% success rate just means that CB could give a possible answer to 50%...it doas not mean that 50% are really the correct solution
  • I saw many CB recognized recaptcha = they mostly looked a lot wrong - yet "recognized"  - the very same results from spaqmvilla = lots of guesses "recognized" yet looking mostly WRONG
    result = HUGE amount of target URLs needed to obtain my daily verified quota

    then 2 days ago, I removed CB completely and let antigate process all
    result is some 20-30% MORE verified submissions

    hence
    instead of letting software GUESS, I let antigate-humans solve for the remainder of my SER project time
  • Hoping someone can figure out a solution.  :(  I was doing great when spamvilla was working.  lately been doing good still but not even close to as to what it was before. :/

    Just received e-mail from spamvilla:



    Dear user its Kelvin here from spamvilla
    First of all I would like to apologies for support issues and downtime last month, my mother left us and right after that I was hospitalized as well due to nature of our ocr business it’s pretty basically one men’s show and due to it the support and new order process was completely gone I just got discharged and back to my home and started working, I really want to apologies for this scenario but It was not and never intentionally done, anyhow I want to thanks to customers base who really supported and hung with me in this real bad time
    support and new order processed will be taken care from tomorrow morning and I promised service will be back and will be 1000 times better and stable as well


    But why Kevin don't reply in this topic and give people some extra bonus for time, when spamvilla was down? (maybe 80% of time)?
  • Yeah, going to need more assurance than that and some goodwill from Spamvilla before I sign back up. It was undoubtedly a killer service and worked very well (when it was up), but I can't have my projects running with DBC as a backup to spamvilla and have it burn through my captchas when spamvilla goes down. He should really extend an offer to give the service free for at least a month.

    Like some people here have mentioned. Spamvilla slowed down SER too much for me. I only realised this when i turned it off and let CB solve recaptcha and verified per day have increased by 50% or more.

    Spamvilla is running again for me. Speed is good, solving rate is good and manually watching them verifies that. Until there is a better option, spamvilla is priced right and when it works it's great.
  • yeah this are great news .. waiting for tomorrow morning

    @Brandon Would you say it's safe to get an account now?

    What plan are you on with them?

    When setting this up, do I do in CB, or how do you have it set up?

    I would wait for a day or two before signing up again. Everyone it would be awesome, if you can let us know if the service is up and working without any problems, so it can help other members to decide on this service.
  • I got my refund which had more to do with a billing mistake on my end then anything. I would say to give the guy a few days to get his service in order and then it will be much easier to say if it is worth it or not. It is important to make business not too personal. The service is worth it or not but it isn't worth it to get too crazy over it one way or another.
  • Not working on my end.... why does your account work?
  • Yeah nothing on my end as well. :/

    MegaOCR works quite good for me. It has the solving rate with 5-8% less than spamvilla but at least the service is online all the time and no downtimes. On spamvilla i had DAYS when the service didn't worked.
  • I think the test of all this is if Kelvin 1) comes here and apologize quickly and sincerely 2) compensates us for the time lost and extremely poor service. It's one thing to apologize and all, but if you refuse to compensate us for the time lost, what kind of apology is that?

    On my end it's still not working.
  • same here .. oh kelvin why you make everything even more worse .. sending out this email and still nothing is going on .. doh

    The problem is that i had lost more than 2000$ because of the downtimes Spamvilla had. I personally don't need a discount of 100$ because the service was down. I had 2 x 150$ plans on Spamvilla.
    At least megaocr uptime is good and i don't lose money and my bot is working 24/7.

    This is the second time he beg for our apologizes guys. Hey @Spamvilla, I guess you have to temporary close your service and repair all the bad service you have and relationship here.

    We know and sorry for your family problems, but let's act professional here man! Every single people here paid you and hope get the best service from you. But what've got? You're service gone really bad because of your service.

    Let's be gentle here man, don't just wrote an email and aplogize there. Come here and clear these all fuckin problem with your service.

    Listen bro, you just broken all trust that we got for you.

    It was up and working yesterday. I let it run on all of my servers overnight. When I woke up this morning I only had about 1000 verified on each server instead of the 10,000 I expected. I checked and Spamvilla was down again...now I'm very far behind today because SV timed out all of my threads and I only built 10% of the total links I expected.
  • hmmm, i bougth in saturday (7.12.13) spamvilla account for 150$, now still my account are not active. this is scam? i sent 2 ticket, sent mails and still same, i think this was mistake, not good

    I'm not a customer, but I am getting a little tired of this crap.

    First of all, anyone who reads this thread, and still buys this service given all the complaints is a f...ing moron.

    My next point is directed to @Spamvilla

    You had a service here people really liked. I am even interested in it if you decide to handle these problems. But you have to man-up and be professional. I can't think of a person here who does not feel badly about your personal loss. However, you were provided a key to this forum to make money. The people here paid you some nice $$$ for your product, and deserve to be treated like paying customers.

    If I look back at almost every situation in my life where there was an argument or bad feelings, it was because of poor communication. When people don't communicate, they lose the ability to manage the other person's expectations. That is where you are at right at this point in time. Your last post here was November 23rd. 

    I am throwing you a lifeline buddy. You have an opportunity to do the right thing. If you need my advice on what to do to get out of this mess, please PM me. I will help you. This is a major forum. Please don't communicate with one forum, and hope one of your buddies brings the message here. You need to bring that message here yourself. I am asking you to step up to the plate and start communicating.

    Everyone has the ability to turn a bad situation into a good one. You may as well start now.
  • i dont read this topic before, i read other, so i dont think so that im moron. Ok, my mistake that i dont saw what is here but... my money my problem, this all, if this is scam i try get money back from paypal, if this will be impossible .... what i can say, ......life
