The site has finally crashed completely.Surely was one of the best sites;don't know how much time it will take to repair-if repaired at all.Some in US are saying that soon it will become history-any comments?

Folks,
This morning I got an e-mail (shown below) from some Belinda Zhang offering a solution to get access to ScoreTop. It sounds creepy as hell with all signs of a "Hack" job. Did anyone of you get this and try it on your computers? Maybe I am a novice at such things, but it would be great to know if this is even a legit attempt by ScoreTop management to get back on their feet. Let me know what you think.

Andy

Dear member,

This is an email from scoretop. I'm so sorry for this discommodiousness. If you want to access scoretop again, try following steps:
Please open the following file on your computer using Notepad:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
then add the following line to the file:
218.201.122.107mihir.urs@gmail.com www.scoretop.com
save the file, and then you should be able to access ScoreTop again.
Best Regards,
The ScoreTop Team

What Manhattan has to write.

Hi, guys

I was at a conference last week put on by GMAC and they told us they've sued Scoretop. One of the reasons is for hosting "live" GMAT questions (that is, questions people actually saw when they went into the test).

The GMAC people told us they are trying to identify users who post such questions and both ban them from taking the GMAT and report their names to business schools! They may also do the same to people who discuss or respond to such posts.

So DON'T read or respond to such posts, either on Scoretop or anywhere. If it were me, I'd avoid Scoretop altogether, just in case. (This is my own personal opinion - not official Manhattan GMAT policy.) At the least, if you see anything anyway that claims to be a "live" question that someone saw on the real test, run the other way. (Virtually, anyway
