Yes.
They have done their duty. Things evolve.
It has been shown that reporting fakers to the server people is much more efficient. |

In a way bandwidth leaching is similar to a DDOS attack. There was a thread with the reasons here when they decided to stop. |

| The Vampire and related bandwidth tools had been decreasing in effectiveness for quite some time now. In a recent flashmob, we demonstrated clearly that more scam sites could be killed with a few volunteers writing letters, than with many volunteers running bandwidth tools. Times have changed. So, aa419 decided to change to, and discontinued the hosting of the Lad Vampire and Muguito. |
From the blog linked on their main page. |

Because we're better than that. Our reports to hosters do the job. |

I agree B. A. Ware; Muguito and Lad Vampire were fun but they took the fun out of Scam Baiting. I like the personal touch of messing with the mugu's and Oga's!  |
