Fuck Spamvilla. I just ordered 100,000 captchas from DeathByCaptcha. I can at least sleep with peace now.

I wanted to test this out for recaps, signed up on saturday and subbed a support ticket asking for eta. It's monday night and acct is still pending and no support response.
If you can't automate something like this and need to manually activate/setup an acct for whatever reason, fine, but do it within the first 24 hours for gods sake or wtf am I paying for?
@eliquid thanks for the feedback so you were getting a bunch of solves from the cb/spamv combo, then an additional 28% recaps solved via mega? And now mega is solving all of the recaps that cb/spamv was solving on top of an additional 28%?
How resource intensive is it? How many threads can it handle?

I just noticed he hasnt logged into the forum since the 23rd of last month, great. And why does his location say russia but he has an indian flag?

Do you guys think GSA should shutdown the support for SpamVilla in SER? It is affecting lots of SER users.

"Do you guys think GSA should shutdown the support for SpamVilla in SER? It is affecting lots of SER users."
Not at all, when it's working it's great for solving Recaptcha, there's nothing better. Let's look at the facts :
It's obviously a one-man operation and he's in Russia i.e. different time zone to the US, so there's no point at all in getting upset when he doesn't answer an email within minutes...it's proabably 3 o clock in the morning in Russia
It's equally obvious that it's a manual setup and therefore you do have to wait for him to set up accounts etc
His Mum died about 10 days ago. Can't any of you remember how awful it is sorting out funerals, death certificates, emptying houses etc. It's a terrible period of your life
He is in Russia, his payment processor is in India, that's why there's an Indian flag. It probably also explains why invoices are sent promptly.
If people had posted some of these comments about me, I'd ignore them as well "Every fucking single day i get problems with 1 or both of my plans" ."do it within the first 24 hours for gods sake or wtf am I paying for?" "Again you show us that you don't give a fuck about customer support! " "Was working for few hours now again offline. Fuck this shit really !" "MOVE YOUR LAZY ASS AND HELP US" "I don't want to lost my time as well with your shitty support" "Answer us, you @Spamvilla punk! " "Fuck this shit. Everyday their is a problem. " "For the God sake, where are you @Spamvilla shit???!! " "let's shutdown this scamming service." "Fuck Spamvilla. I just ordered 100,000 captchas from DeathByCaptcha"
It's a "glass half full vs glass half empty" situation
- I'm grateful for the 50% of the time that it works whereas you're all
going ape over the 50% of the time when it doesn't. At the moment
there's no alternative, at twice the price it's still a bargain compared
to manual captcha solving.

I use Spamvilla with great success. There are problems now I had loads of problems myself too, but the amount of cash it saved me on different servers is crazy. I even run xRumer with it
As long as it works, its superb. Lets give @spamvilla a benefit of a doubt this one last time. If its still working for some (it is for me last time I checked), its gonna come back eventually for rest of u guys....
I dont believe that when he is gonna be back, he wont hire somebody. Then all our problems will be solved. We can still spam the crap of the web

Finally filed a paypal dispute. Gave the guy another months payment but same bad service as the last 6 months. Family problems or not, he sent an email saying everything would be fine. Megaocr here i come.
Down for me as well, no sign of Kelvin on Skype and no response to tickets. My automatic payment went thru yesterday, darn !!

ron mega ocr seems to be working and solving around 65 % captchas CB sending over there . In one week service was down over 1 night but they probably so that and in the morning it was up and running again without writing to them of anything like that . Seems like a good working service so far .

Regarding Mega SEO - are you guys running it from GSA CB or SER?
With CB only 1 thread but very stable. From SER lots of threads but the captcha tunnel craps out after around 100-1000 captchas and wants full CPU usage.
Still no response from Spamvilla ticket or Skype -- looks like i need to open the PP dispute.
Would love to hear more about Mega SEO, how to use it with gsa ser or gsa CB ?

If there is no service for the remainder of the prepaid contract time PLUS downtimes, I may file a PP dispute as well. latest before Christmas my SER project concluded, until then I need full service, either by SV or antigate which is doing a fine job while SV down = just at some extra $ originally paid to @spamvilla

Works great when it works, but I can't keep doing this. Looks like MegaOCR has another new customer.

So I'm curious, for you guys that aren't paying your invoices did you notice your accounts closing or not being able to work anymore? If Kelvin has taken this little "mini vacation" I wonder if he's also on the ball cancelling accounts when people miss their invoice due dates?
FYI, if he ever does come back, he's not going to give any additional free usage time for the downtime. He would literally have to do that for EVERYONE and be bleeding money. I don't think he would take that loss.
