Hey man did you try emailing the WebMaster??
STEP 4:
Thats it. Now that you have been returned to our Feedback Page where you can send us your xboxhq username and also your paypal address/sender information so we can activate your new VIP account within a couple of hrs..
A reply email will promptly be sent 3-5hrs from the time we received your donation. We will then instatly provide you with all the details needed for how to access all of the VIP Only areas of our sites and the external FTP servers.
You need to email forahobby throught the feedback page. Hope you get it sorted out. Dont forget the he is in aus. also. ttyl _________________ SE Halo Xbox v1.4 :

I am pretty sure the VIP donation directions request that after you donate via paypal, to submit your xbox-hq username, the paypal address that you used and the amount you donated to this:
The site owner is in Australia which is a lot different time zone than us in the states, so if your in the states keep in mind they are about 11-12 hours off our time EST.

It's 2:30AM in Australia.
Give him a little time guys. He'll get it sorted. This isn't an automated process.
It's not a bad idea.
Us fucking americans are so used to having fast cars, fast food, glasses in an hour, and can even get fucking married via a drive through that we forgot that sometimes we have to wait a little while for certain things.
After you pay via paypal, YOU MUST go to the feeback form
New VIP's Please send the following information:
- Your xbox-Hq.Com Username (you should be fully registered on the website)
- Paypal Address (email used to subscribe as a VIP)
- And you should also update your profile with your Origin
It's written right on the VIP donation directions.
As far as the member that paid twice, if you don't know why you paid twice, we certainly don't. I am sure forahobby can straighten it out for you as soon as he logs in.
Just take a chill pill and hang in there. He will seriously get you set up. He is a straight forward guy who just happens to be on the other side of the world guys!! He's not out to rip ppl off of their measly 10 bux.
Simi, if you want your fucking money back let me know. I'll personally send it to you and let forahobby reimburse me. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

My VIP membership took about a day to get set up, but it was definitely worth the wait. You will not find such an abundance of downloads, tutorials, ideas & people willing to help you, I feel it would be worth it even if I had paid double!

Hi simi,
I dont have a email from you about what your paypal address is or the username?? I did a search on your username 'simi' but there is no match with a paypal payment..
I upgrade all vip's manually at the moment and it takes quite a bit of time.. I have to reply to my 100+ emails everyday to.. So please just take a chill pill and send me you information from here:
http://xbox-hq.com/html/feedback.html
Your account will not be upgraded to VIP until you sent me this info.
Im sorry that you cannot read instructions properly but that is not our fault.. The VIP Signup instructions are posted here if you would like to read them again.
anyway, we have plenty of VIP members here and they are all very patient as they know what we have to offer..
RealMccloy:
Im working on making the VIP signup AUTOMATIC but its not that easy.. I have to make xbox-hq a SSL website and that costs a shitload of extra money per year.. Im looking in so many different directions.. Im also thinking of accepting just plain VISA, AMERIAN EXPRESS credit cards too using a external company..
l8r guys, and thanks for the backup realmccloy and slamscapper..
btw.. When simi said he paid twice.. He probably means he paid the $5 twice.. so he is only a VIP MEMBER anyway..

No problem mate. If I can be of any further assistance in regard to getting the VIP's up and running just let me know. I totally understand why it's not automated, belive me...I understand!
In all honesty, I think Simi is blowing smoke. Simi, if you really paid then I apologize for that last statement, but I'm a pretty good judge of character...and there lack of. I think you were just trying to make waves bud..which is quite sad if true. Hope you find better things to do with your time. If I was fifteen again, and oh man do I miss those years, I would be spending time tagging the young ladies and not messing with peoples heads.
I truly hope you did make a donation, because once straightened out, you will really find some benefit to this community.
