Him: hello
Me: Hi.
Me: How may I help you?
Him: i read your reply in my post. I don't know the hosting says "Unlimited Space and Unlimited Bandwith", if you'd like I can give you another hosting that's better but only has 500 mb! what do you say?? (I'm the one that need the phpBB theme)
Me: Why not unlimited?
Me: That's what you offered.
Him: if you want i can give you that one, but since everyone in my post refused that...
Me: So I can use over 200 GB of bandwidth?
Him: sorry
Him: my pc freezed
Him: i can give you the unlimited one if you like
Me: So I can use over 200 GB of bandwidth?
Him: i believe so
Me: For how long is this hosting?
Him: for how long would you need it?
Me: I would like it to be forever... of course.
Him: lol well, ok... if you do a REALLY nice theme i could give you the hosting forever! ;)
Me: So, if I use 100GB of space, and 1,000 GB of bandwidth a month
Me: you wont do anything?
Him: nope
Him: unless you break the TOS
Me: What is your hosting site?
Him: i don't have it prepared yet
Him: just the server 4 now
Me: I can host .zip files?
Him: yes
Him: no mp3
Me: This is kind of unbelievable.
Him: lol
Me: I don't really trust you..
Me: You are willing to pay up to $200 per month for hosting.

Me: LOL
Me: Of course you have to pay.
Me: That right there my friend, was your mistake.
Me: How old are you?
Him: 24
Me: haha
Him: what?
Me: still finding it humorous
Him: so.. are you intrested or not? i can do it for 2 years if you dont want it forever
Me: (i don't have to pay a thing)
Me: No, you don't even know what your doing.
Him: well, as you like. i'm just telling you... your letting away a great offer.
why don't u trust me?
Me: You just said that you don't have to pay a thing.
Me: That is absolutely incorrect.
Him: well, not a thing... i have to pay, but. not specially because of you
Me: Nobody would ever give the specs I had asked for, for free.
Me: Are you serious!?
Me: 1,000 GIGS of BANDWIDTH a MONTH
Me: No body would even do that for $200/ month.

"Him" stops IMing me right there... it was a great offer and all, but I don't think he'll stand by his words when the time comes. Man, I just can't believe this guy, makes wonder if he knows what he's doing.... but, it's all good. :cool:

Haha, well, I hope he doesn't destroy himself when he launches his hosting company with his "i don't have to pay a thing" runing in his head.

Well that is not that unlikely. He probably posted a request in the requests forum for a free (sponsored) server. No doubt he received some offers :D

Hey, i'm the guy who offered him that! Any problem??
Look, I'm starting my hosting company, and I needed urgentlly the phpBB Theme. So, i offered him this. As I have already some other customers, I earn quite a lot of money, so I can pay the hosting for him. Is that too bad?!?
Plus, you shouldn't be treating like that someone who offers you that, don't you. And I am a person, I have feelings, don't you.
So stop making fun of others!!!! :angry:

Uhh... I think this'll explain it all:

Me: Why not pay cash?
Me: "I earn quite a lot of money"
Him: i don't have any money right now, and i have no PayPal support on my country! :(
Me: "I earn quite a lot of money"
Me: There are alternatives to PayPal.
Me: What is your country?
Him: uruguay
Me: Yes, they are alternatives.
Him: which ones?
Me: Hold on.
Him: ok
Me: How much would you pay for a theme?
Him: i don't know yet
Me: (considering you were about to pay for unlimited hosting)
Him: i know, but... it's diferent 4 me... look... i'm gonna tell you the real truth
Me: That would be nice.
Him: i'm not the one who has the hosting, my father does, so... I can make an account 4 you without he noticed it, know what i mean?
Me: And when I will be using a whole lot amount of resources...
Me: You'll guys will be losing.
Me: Trust me.
Him: I don't care, lol!
Me: We'll you don't.
Him: my father would be loosing
Him: not me
Me: and I will be losing.
Him: why?
Me: You don't sound 24.
Me: Because he will find out and terminated my account.
Him: why? ... not trusting me AGAIN???????
Me: Okay.
Him: no! he won't!!! I know him more than u do!
Me: I can't take anymore of this.
Me: This is ludicris.
Him: well... then..

This reminds me of something my grandma once told me:
"Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand"
