Reattempting Contact
Since it has been a while since anyone from Abuse reports has sent an abuse report to the responsible organization, I'm going to send another email to notify them of the abuse. If you need to contact me, please message me on my talk page. Thanks.

I've closed all requests that have this template, because a second attempt was done to contact the responsible organizations. The results were overall positive, as I did receive some replies that indicated that the responsible organization was going to look into the issue. The reports that were sent to ISPs all received automated responses, also promising to look into every case. Netalarm 15:28, 21 July 2009 (UTC)  Netalarm  05:33, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
