Update on WXO; For those who are fans/past users

So, as a few of you have known, WXO has been a great source for watching TV shows and movies for a while. However though, a new recent Click Potato add-on has changed it completely. Some shows will require you to install it on you PC so you can watch shows on it. I don't know if was a recent update or something, but it is risky.

First of all, it causes pop-ups on your computer at random times. Yes, it does say specifically that it would do that, but there is more. Second, it can disable you computer's security software. My AVG Software was disabled at random, and thank god windows caught it (It's 100% possible, Game Vance did the same thing). Also, when I scanned my computer, AVG Said it contained a threat level of 4 and was labeled as Mal-ware. If I didn't catch this, this would have meant virus could have easily entered my computer.

So, this might not make sense, but the Click Potato add-on is something to watch out for. Just though I'd inform everyone of this :)

ET, thanks for passing on the info. I read complains that even after you download FF4, you'd still get the click potato or some kind of a survey thing. I'm not exactly sure what's going on with wxo, but this exact same thing happened last year when the site was shut down. And the site's content hasn't been updated for quite some time now.

I would think if it got shut down the new admin would have said something on the forum, which makes me wonder if he put it there to get some extra money... Or maybe it did get shut down and he just hasn't said anything. I don't know...

I just don't see WXO dying out like that. There's obviously something going on with the site's owner, and he has continued to ignore the pleads in the forum to remove it.

The new owner hasn't been on the forum/chat room for the last 2 - 3 months now. Not sure what exactly is going on. It's really sad that since wxo was once a really good site and active community.

Yes....it's always sad when it happens.

But according to one of the members, you can watch Vids with-out CP.

"Go to options, unable java-script. Works :)

If you're double tasking, just set it back. The WXO video page will not change to CP. "

Thanks to IsaacRedcorn :)

A message from Joecool6101:

The site had to be shut down dispite being transferred to a new owner.. definitely won't be coming back or moving this time I am sorry.. Also sorry Dan was a terrible owner I thought he was going to keep on top of things but the entire time he just failed.

If you want some reliable sources I've been using let me know what show you need and I can find it for you.


This made me sad to read it. I only wish WXO was updated frequently, or else this would never had happen.

RIP WXO :(

P.S. The forums are still online @ http://forums.watchxonline.net/index.php


Bojon edit: I am combining the two threads about WXO into one, so people can read all the updates and visit the site if they want.

Chaos, the forum on wxo is still accessible. You can click on the link ET provided above, or just go to wxo website and click on forum. Btw, I think there is a new "spin off" of wxo, just in case anyone is interested: www.flixonline.net. It looks exactly the same as wxo.

Wow, I'm going to miss WXO. :(

Though the new site Bojon added looks interesting.

Well, I have been watching my favorite shows on flixonline for the past couple of weeks now. The database looks exactly the same as wxo, which makes me believe even more that it is a clone of wxo.

Yeah, but with no forums though :(

The owner should add some forums for it.
