Website gone

Chris_QPW · March 11

I was informed today that my website was banned for "violation of terms of service". I think we can all figure out what that means.

I may or may not bring put up a website with just ImportQIF in the future, but no promises.

I'm posting links to the Quicken Patches that I have on OneDrive, the programs, and ImportQIF.

I suggest anyone interested in them get them now.

Wow Chris - banning your website for ANY reason is simply unjustifiable! I, for one, really appreciate your contributions to the Quicken community. And that you've devoted so much of your time and effort to help folks with your awesome Quicken tools, programming skills and your unparalleled knowledge of Quicken . I do hope your "may" put up a website in the future turns into "definitely will." Don't let this cloud your mission and affect your excellent and generous contributions. The world needs more folks like you!

Yea, WOW.

After all these years they now decided to ban your site.
You provided a service that Quicken did not.

Now it would be different if you said to try another product, such as Money$XYZ (example), then I could see where the ban would be warranted.

Such a loss to the overall community.

mshiggins · March 12

Was any explanation given?

NotACPA · March 12

I'm a bit confused. Just now, I tried to type in the URL directly … and got a 404 "Not Found".

SO, who banned it? Who/what was hosting your website?

Boatnmaniac · March 12

It can't be that Quicken banned it because I get this same 404 error code no matter which browser I use…and the URL for it is not a Quicken URL. I'm thinking it must be a MS ban of some sort.

jl747 · March 12

I got the same error.

Could it be that @Chris_QPW took the site down.

As I read my I realize that I was way too brief leaving too much unsaid.

No explanations were given. No telling who complained. It is very well possible that this was not done by Quicken Inc.

The complete story is that one of the users of the website let me know that it was down. I contacted Webley support. They contacted their back end and then let me know that was taken down because it was banned for violation of terms of service. That is all I know.

Hopefully, you'll get to the bottom of this and get back up and running soon!

This is a done deal, there is no more information and even if I create a new website it will not be hosting Quicken patches. Right now I am leaning towards no website, maybe a OneDrive link to download for ImportQIF.

No details on which specific term(s) you violated? Webley should be able to provide that without revealing who filed the complaint.

Anyway, sorry to hear this. I hope you will continue supporting the community in spite of this.

Weebly didn't seem in the "mood" to tell me anything else.
