someone else will most likely have to fill in some details and fix errors in this but;

winmxphoenix was made by a user named 'bogus cash' with the intent (or perhaps not) of building a clone client... the site was little more than a forum and a donate button.... methinks a few donaters got duped....

you could probably see the site in the wayback machine on archive.org

bogous is in jail that's why the site is down i will not say for what reason because that is up to him if he wants the world to know but i was apart of winmx phoenix

Having a donate button on the site takes on a whole lot of legal liability so that was probably a huge mistake.

I'm always pleased to remind folks that there are no begging bowl "donate" buttons here and no advertisements, volunteers pay for this place out of their own pockets thus showing their commitment and friendship to all users.

Now to the topic in hand:

I spoke with Bogus on a few occasions unfortunately on both occassions it was clear to me he neither understood the scope of the task or was up to organising such a task effectively, I offered him assistance and information only to hear he didnt actually want anything but a finished article, this was a major reason why I didnt pursue the idea of aiding him any further directly and the last time I saw him he was supporting KM's attacks on wmw in the wmw chatroom, thus as far as I'm concerned good riddance to this chap.
