How can I get in contact with someone responsible for this page ?

Take a look at the impressum which can be reached from the menu on the top. You will find different ways to contact us from there.


What does this service cost ?

This website is free of charge.
You may create an account and use it as you please. This includes the forum and private messaging as well as the email service that we are offering.
Unfortunatelly, we have to charge you for some services (modules) that we offer. What you basically need to do is buy some ribbel coins and spend them on the modules you like to activate. You will be noticed very clearly before you are about to spend money on the site.a


Why should I donate ?

First of all, you should start up using the system and getting used to it.
Now that you are still here, you probably ask yourself how a free service can be kept alive. As you can imagine, things like answering emails concering the site, doing weekly maintenance of the database and updating content on the site cost alot of time and energy. With the ability to donate you are given the possiblity to express your gratitude for the work done.
You are by no means bound to the tiny amount that is proposed when clicking on the PayPal donation button on the left site on the menu. You either have the possiblity to donate several times or use your PayPal account to enter an amount of your choise. Our donation account at PayPal is: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

I lost my password.
I lost my account name.

Please, use the link below the sign in form on the top left side of the webpage. It lets you enter your emailadress and thereby retrieve your user information.
Unfortunatelly, as long as you did not enter a valid email adress, it is not possible for us to retrieve your lost data. We therefor strongly recommend to make sure that your email adress provided is allways active and you have access to it.
For the sake of internet security and anonymity, you might want to create an email account on a free webmail provider. That way, you are completely anonym.


I cannot register.
Registration closed.

Even this site is free of charge, we want our users to enjoy a very high standard.
Our servers are therefor controled continuously. After reaching the maximum capacity of members, the registration of a new user is closed automatically and we will be notified immediatly. A new server will be set up for you within 24 hours. We kindly ask you to check back again and register after a new server is in place.


I see a waving flag on the registration page. What do I do with it ?
I can't recognize the letters and numbers on the waving flag.

The flag on the registrations page is a so called Captcha. It makes it very difficult for internet robots to automatically register on our site and disturbing our service with all sorts of spam.
A small textfield beside it lets you enter the code that you see on the flag. Once you hit "register" the code is compared with the content of the flag. In the case that you can not figure out what code is show, you might want to reload the page. A new image is generated and you may enter that code instead.


I encounter some "mysql" or "mysqli" or "php" error.
The site looks weired with error messages all over.

Something does not work as intendet. We kindly ask you to write an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The functionality on the website does not seem to work as intended.
I am pressing a button and nothing (something weired) is happening.

There might be several reasons for this. First of all, make sure you are using the latest version of your browser available. For information about the current version and how to download and install the latest version, please visit your browsers homepage.
Second, make sure that your browser is allowed to execute Javascript, as some elements on ribbel.net are programmed in a style called AJAX. You can find detailed descriptions about your browsersettings on its website or help menu.

I am worried about the sites security.

We are using the same security standarts that are applied by banks.
This includes secure data transfer between your computer and ribbel.net. It also includes daily backup of our system. Further, our servers are equiped with the latest software with security updates.
For the type of service that is provided at ribbel.net, this is completely unnecessary. We are not handling real money. We are not transfering any real money between bank accounts. We are not asking you to leave credit card or information about your bank account or even yourself. This gives you the best security there is. Anonymity.
On a side note, we want to mention that if we detect that this anonymity is used in unappropriate way, the account will be closed immediatly.


When I visit ribbel.net, I am warned about some problem with some security certificate.

Some window of your browser pops up or some warning message is showing at the place where you expect the webpage to appear. The text tells you something about a certificate that is not secure or the text tells you that you have to accept some certificate, before you can continue.
To present you ribbel.net with a very high security standard, it is neccessary to have a security certificate for the website. This security certificate identifies the website. It is used for 1) transfer data between your browser and our server and 2) to transfer username and password in order to log onto your private area of this site.
You should check several things in order to get rid of the warning messages.
You should have reached ribbel.net by http://ribbel.net. Make sure, there is no "www".
After you get to know our site in greater detail and you could statisfy yourself about the high standards we are using, you might want to accept the certificate and add it to your trusted certificates in your webbrowser. How to do this, you might want to consult the help of your browser.
