Now I lost 20 bucks, never got contacted, and they don't answer my emails.

Then file a Claim at paypal and their account will be hold till they resolve your issue ;)

We are listed with bigboards but the stats are way of, we modified our site so our forum changed address and I have been trying to get biboards to change our URL for years so I don't think very highly of their services.

Yes I could do that, but then my site will never be listed at big boards.

I'd be the fifth most visited vbulletin board in my language, and I intend to make noise about it.

I'm with you on this. My site still has no details, I'm half tempted to paypal him 25 cents and say "hey, I paid $20, the least you can do is get my information correct".

Honestly it's a great opportunity for someone who actually gives a damn to start up another site like that one. With a little attention and an owner that isn't profiteering off of his laziness, it'd (imo) pull decent revenue in no time.

Not really related to the topic at hand, but speaking of floods, I had my site /.'ed once. It was a rather unpleasant experience. "There are currently 5,899 members online. (100 members and 5,799 guests)". I could almost hear my CPU screaming.

Eventually (maybe sooner than later) someone is going to dupe their system of monitoring sites and open a new and improved "Big Boards" site that actually contains every site that meets the qualifications.. When was the last time they interviewed Gaia or anyone else?

yup.

how does big boards update the stats to keep them up to date?

When a board gets listed, does it have to install some kind of webservice that big boards can read from?

There is a code you can put on yout pages to optimize the info to Big Boards, but I don't think it is nessecary for the basic info, they get that in some other way.

It seems they don't update anymore? I sent them a lot of e-mails to update my board info.. and no reply and no updates..

I finally filed a claim on paypal and the next day I got contacted. The BB admin said he never got a paypal notice telling about my payment.

Anyway, I'm fine now, I withdrew the complain. I inserted their tag too in order to see my stats updated.

If anyone is interested in starting an alternative to BigBoards with me then please get in touch.

Thanks, Paul.
