Anyone also having difficulty accessing scoretop? It looks like it may have been shut down. Any word on this?

My guess is that they were shut down by a court order.

I checked and saw their web address belongs now to the sheriff of some county, and contact name is some attorney's office.

Igot this via e-mail this morning. Unable to verify the sender's authenticity, I have not taken the risk to try the method suggested below to gain access to ScoreTop. Hope this is legit and the user community can once again gain access soon. It is scary to think what could have prompted the Site to get shuttered down..

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

I really don't think the whole court order thing is true. I've regained access to the site. THEY don't have live questions on scoretop. I believe they used to in 2005 and 2006, but no longer.

BTW, this is biz_aspirant from ST.

Did anyone download VIP material for the month of May? I renewed my VIP membership only to find the next day that the site was down :-(
