ShareazaSource.com (Oryginal idea & creation by Floog)

"(...)This site was created as a supliment to the official Shareaza Open-Source Project web site. It has also become something of a security center for information about frauds and about sites that offer incorrect downloads and links to fraudulent Shareaza sites. After the Shareaza.com domain (web site) was taken over by Discordia, a great deal of confusion has occured among past Shareaza users in regard to where they can go for official project information. People are still to this day visiting the Shareaza.com site (now under the control of Discordia, as are other titles like BearShare and iMesh) and downloading malicious and fraudulent software under the assumption that it is the official Shareaza software. It is not. Other web sites have sprung up in a sort of feeding frenzy to malign, discredit and profit from the Shareaza name, which was (and is) enormously popular. This site will direct Shareaza users and fans to official sites, resources and downloads. If you would like to understand more about what is happening to the Internet community in regard to Shareaza and other products, see this article. (...)

This Site was created by Floog (A.K.A. "floogster") and is now hosted by Cyko_01. Site obtained 2008-08-25, Site retasked 2008-12-03, Forums created 2008-12-03 (...)
