News Update - Published 13.07.2007

Dear Amityfunds members.

As many of you already know, we have experienced several problems during the last weeks. Most of the problems related to the DDOS attack are resolved, and we are happy about that.

However, a problem never shows up alone….

At the moment we are experiencing transfer problems, related to the payment solutions we are using. To explain it in an easy way, we lack funds in accounts to fulfill requests because we are experiencing difficulties transferring funds to these accounts from our funding resources.

This happened due to the high amounts of withdrawals ordered in the period we had problems. This often happens and can be described as a money run, as many believed that we were disappearing. This however is NOT what is happening.

We are doing our best to solve these issues, and during this process we will not process any new withdrawals. If you have received a message saying that your request is approved, funds will be transferred to your account as soon as we have received funds to our accounts.

We hope to solve these issues in the near future.

Flushing the system

We will soon be flushing the system for inactive members. By inactive members, we mean members who have not made deposits or have not had any other activities during the last month. This is done to protect our site and flow of information.

Removal of Public Information and Public Signup

As a step to secure the AF Website, we are removing all public information and signup links.

We will remove all advertising banners and marketing material. The only way of signing up new members will be through your personal backoffice, done by an existing member. The only thing showing on the AF front page will be a login box, all other info will be moved to your personal backoffice.

Flushing the ticket system and moving it

We know that many of you are frustrated about the response time at support. The solution is quite easy. The ticket system is currently being flooded by spam, and at the moment there are 19,000 unanswered tickets. It is extremely time consuming to manually check all these tickets, so we have decided to flush the system, and move it to the backoffice as well. This means that all previous tickets will be removed, but will quicken the response time for our support staff to respond to your questions. Please do not send tickets on the subjects already covered in this news update.

SSL Certificate
Yes, we know the certificate has expired, but its still working. And, YES, it will be renewed.

PSHLP 6
We plan to begin PSHLP-6 in August when the website has been updated.

HYVUM
HYVUM will open during next week, and mandatory funds will be processed.

Timeframe
The operations we are going through will take some time, but we hope to be finished during July. Due to all the new changes, the site might be off at times, but we are still here and working on making Amityfunds even more secure for the long term. We ask for your patience during this period, as we are working on securing AF for you.

Funds
We want to assure you that all programs are running normally. While we have said this in the past, we want to reassure all members of this and we thank you for your support and continued patience .

Kind Regards
Amityfunds Management
