Sahar Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 So recently I found out that a few topsites, topzone among them, are removing servers for "breaking their rules" (bs), and if you want to be listed again you must pay (no, not a 1 time payment to get unbanned, but a payment for as long as you want to stay listed). But here's the tricky part, they don't actually remove the server, they only hide it from the listing, this way, they can still get traffic from you while not giving any traffic back, there's no error message when players try to vote saying that server is deactivated or so, you would think that everything is ok up until the moment you actually go and check the listing itself. Out of thousands of servers out there, topzone which used to be among the biggest voting sites, hosts barely 20 servers right now, ALL of them paid. Safe to say this site doesn't act as a voting site anymore at all. I obviously removed the vote link to topzone from my site, I advise all server owners out there who still have it to remove it as well, you clearly aren't one of these 20 listed there and you only give them traffic to advertise these 20 servers while yours isn't even there. And keep an eye for other topsites who copy that poor behavior, thinking its a smart move to gain money but at the end it'll explode in their face. P.S. looking forward for MXC toplist. 2 Quote

hiriso6030 Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 I think they have become a paid service and it is normal from my point of view. If you pay for other services, such as game files / hosting server, why not pay to get player traffic? Quote
SkyLord Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) This dog will never learn how make money. I will recommend you to not spend time on topzone. 1 minute ago, SkyLord said: This dog will never learn how make money. I recommend you to not spend time on topzone.

An4rchy Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Topzone admin is an idiot who's been banned in MxC too, never visit his site or pay for ads there, it's gone to shit for over a year now nobody uses it. 1 Quote

Trance Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 I remember that dog used to beg/bark around here to add our server to his site. Maybe he forgot where he came from. 1 Quote
