There is no proof of your claim, you could have taken that just from any other seized domain.
Could've taken a screenshot but no.

From my experience, it seems that they (TX) were (or at least some of them were) fine, just that somehow they no longer have control over their old domains. As they were able to create backup sites with a different TLD (.rocks, which is unlike .com that the US has less control) after a while, they certainly still have their data (or backup at least).

It's not that hard to keep a site running, even during the migration. I'd lose my job if I let the internal service I managed be out for > 4 hrs, and even nuke my country won't take it offline. Something was off, but they ain't telling.

The difference being you probably don't work for a company that allows you to pirate games. This isn't some company traded on the stock market or any international market at all. They can migrate how ever they want and not explain a thing. I'm not sticking up for them or saying it's right, but to compare them to your "legal" job just doesn't really make sense.

Why this thread stay open? Somebody have something interesting to say?

Not a thing haha. Just everyone going back and forth on their "theories" of what's happening. Not like anything TX would say would matter anyways. Someone would just say it's BS or "you're lying". Aww well. It's surely entertaining to read.

Ah yes "server maintenance" that is so intense that days later they quickly whipped up a temp site perfectly fine but are still having issues with their main one ;)

Even if you decide to conveniently ignore all of the evidence, something is still weird about it. Quick recap of everything going on for those just jumping into the thread now... (can't link the domains, but use your noggin).

Domains Taken Down for Definite Legal Reasons:
This is their old website, but it shows they have had a legal history with Nintendo by doing a simple whois lookup and seeing Nintendo seizing the domain.
  • Team Xecuter (old)
Domains Taken Down For (Likely) Legal Reasons:
  • Xecuter
  • Team Xecuter
  • StargateNX
DMCA of Reseller Links on Google
This is a non-exhaustive list, but some highlights.
What Does This Mean?
Doing a whois lookup on Xecuter, Team Xecuter and StargateNX's domains reveals the name server is suspended.prolocation.net, and the domain status is clientHold.
So the domains are clearly suspended, but if you lookup what clientHold means you will see it is is either of the following options:
  1. Domain has not been paid for (unlikely considering it's not time for the domains' renewal)
  2. The domain is stuck in legal disputes
  3. The domain is subject to deletion
So the domains are likely either stuck in a legal dispute and / or subject for deletion.
Considering Nintendo has been keen on DMCAing TX resellers within the last couple months - it seems only natural that they would go for the source next, especially considering they recently were selling pirated games via StargateNX.

Others here are posting whois information of Nintendo seizing their active domains and then covering it up. I can't confirm these claims however, but they are being posted by reputable scene members, including sources that I have heard privately.

Interesting Tidbits
  • TX's new site appears among a good handful of others when doing an IP lookup.
  • GaryOpa on this thread has lied multiple times saying it is a simple maintenance, or migration of data. This is not true due to the indisputable reasons listed above, among other oddities that I pointed out a few pages back.
  • Very suspicious that they can setup a temporary site so quickly, yet still have issues if this is just a "data migration" like GaryOpa says (who totally doesn't have any financial stake in this whatsoever).
  • They are deleting any discussion of this on their Facebook page, but are conveniently leaving up all of the usual community spam including ones asking why the site is down from previous outages, and even advertisement from competing CFWs (lol).
  • As I'm sure most have suspected, but TX is in fact not in China where copyright laws don't apply. They are likely located in France, or the Netherlands.
  • Total coincidence that MaxConsole appears when looking up hosting / IP history of Team Xecuter's sites here and here. Like I said, GaryOpa has no financial ties ;)

I'll likely be updating this as new information comes to light.

Some of you should invest this much time into your own lives and focus on your families, versus becoming so obsessed and invested in what TX is doing.

You have no idea how ridiculous and lonely the same people look. Downright funny, actually. Biased people, especially.

They will come back, and you'll eat your words like every other time. Then we can begin this vicious cycle again.

Now you look just as ridiculous.

Let people enjoy things. How can you call anybody a troll Look what goes on in here every single day. And I'm the troll? You've become too invested in something you have zero control over. Are you losing sleep over this? No need to constantly harass, when these people have done absolutely nothing to you personally
