Certainly something is wrong with the site. That's too bad.

Probably some domain fisher purchased it when available.
Sadly the only mail contact i have is an address on black-zero.com.
Let`s hope the original admin get`s the domain back.

Actually, things seem to be different than thought.

BLACK-ZERO IS FOR SALE $$$

Unfortunately, I do not have the time to run and manage this community anymore, so I am putting up Black-Zero for sale. All this site needs is someone who can get the forums active and things will really start to take off. BZ comes with almost a hundred unique challenges and I would be willing to help code more if needed. Right now I'm taking offers and if you are at all interested send me an email at admin@black-zero.com

Interesting.

Pretty sure I don't have the money for it but I would like to know what those offers are looking like.

I marked the site as down.

We could maybe start a collection for the site.

I could probably host it on my vserver... but i don`t have enough spare money for a good offer.

Any idea what the offers are looking like?

I emailed the admin and i got told the offers vary from $100 to $500.

Maybe we could start a fundraise to $150 or something, and setup some rules whats happening when "wepay" for the site.
I got told that the owner of black0 would prefer selling the site to someone who would "keep it alive".

First we should check if there is enough interest here in keeping the site "as-is"

I wouldn't mind keeping it as-is.

Thinking about this a little more...

Part of Black Zero involves lock picking and to solve those challenges the challenger needs to submit a video showing the lock picking related task. Someone will have to evaluate those videos and for the record I am not qualified, not even close.
