View Full Version : For those wondering what happened to Eagle Web
sbrad 11-01-2001, 08:25 PM ICQ session:
Me: what happened to ya, dude?
Eagle: hello :) well I quit... have my life back now :P
Me: hehe. don't blame ya
Me: you making it ok? sounds like you got a bit stressed.
Eagle: yeah i am fine now!!
Me: so what are you doing now? it's a shame on one hand that you're not there anymore. on the other hand, though, i guess there are lots of customers floating around now. :-)
Eagle: lol yeah well...ews pretty much collapsed when i quit :P
Me: yeah, you were kind of a 24x7 guy, weren't you?
Me: did you have a partner?
Eagle: yep
i worked like 22 hours per day
7 a week
Me: crapola!
Eagle: you mean a partner in biz or a partner in life?
Me: haha. no, i mean in biz.
Eagle: yeah i did, but he was pretty much corrupt and didnt do a damn
Me: ah, bummer. so are you working now?
Eagle: not yet...
just relaxing
Me: so how many customers lost their websites without so much as a jar of vaseline?
Eagle: ehm i dunno...
my guess would be like.... 50-70
Me: that's a bummer. no nagging concience or anything?
Eagle: no
Eagle: i quit...
Me: sure sounds like it.
Eagle: its not MY fault they left
I always did my utterly best... so I KNOW for a fact (some clients told me) it is NOT my fault...
Me: who left?
Eagle: what do you mean who left?
Me: i'm sitting here reading through WHT seeing the number of people who's websites just went *poof*, and you're saying they left? i'm confused.
Eagle: ??? what do you mean
Me: i'm talking about members on WHT who woke up one day and your server was down, and hasn't been back up since.
Me: maybe we're on different pages.
Eagle: oh...
well....
see the thing is... I pretty much ran the business...
then they wanted me out of there (paid me a lot :P) and I left... since I didnt like the way they did business....
so they took over...
Me: you're saying someone bought the business from you?
Eagle: yes...
the other owner
Me: ah! i see.
Me: why the heck didn't you post that on WHT?
Eagle: didnt feel like it
Me: er, okeedokee.
Me: well, time to turn the lights out and go home. i've been in this office way too long now. hope everything works out for you in the future.
Eagle: thanx :P

Why didn't he inform his clients that he went out of the business?
Why did he not inform the clients of what happened after the company went down?
Why did he sell his clients to someone that does not care?
[/list=1]
(SH)Saeed 11-01-2001, 09:15 PM I just talked to Leslie (Eagle) and he said (I quote)..
"it was not my fault and I was forced to leave. I ALWAYS CARED about my customers, but due to bad policy and my health I quit with EWS and I CAN NOT be blamed for THEIR lack of respect towards THEIR clients!!!"
AH-Tina 11-01-2001, 09:16 PM Okay, I've stayed quiet about this long enough. :)
I gave him some domain names that were about to expire, a few months back. I had them listed here and nobody wanted them...he offered $10 each and I said 'sure'. He never could get his credit card to go through our merchant account - so I just gave him the domains. That was my FIRST and ONLY dealings with him, up to that point.
Well, about a month later he asked me to post here telling everyone how I have done business with them in the past and that they are great, etc., etc. He also said that he would do the same for me. Of course, we wouldn't use our real names here.
After giving him a long rant about ethics - he decided that he wasn't seriously asking me to do that. :eek:
He then later contacted me about getting a dedicated server from him. Curious, I asked several questions - and the answers never quite seemed to add up. Upon telling him this, he became very abusive and rude. Basically, I told him not to contact me again.
Sooooooo...he proceeded to ICQ, AIM, email me under different names asking for forgiveness.
Bottom line...my impression is that this guy is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Hmmm...after he was abusive and rude to me, because I questioned some things he promised me in a server package, he claimed his wife was in bad health and that's why he lost his temper.
sbrad 11-01-2001, 09:24 PM he claimed his wife was in bad health and that's why he lost his temper.
Sounds like me in high school. I bet my grandmother died 100 times between the 9th and 12th grade. :D

LMAO...imma use that...can i?...:laugh:
My wife is in bad health, but I would never use that as an excuse for anything. That is very sad indeed.
Eladesor 11-01-2001, 09:35 PM I'm not an ex customer (though nearly purchased a server once), but as an observer....
If someone sells their company - why would the new owner simply shut it down and loose customers ? Seems a farcical to me, or I missing something?
Eladesor.
dherman76 11-01-2001, 10:02 PM This whole story is wacked up :( Well, i thought it was a reputable company.
EagleWeb 11-01-2001, 10:04 PM Hi,
This is "Eagle"
Sorry, couldn't get my old account to work...
Anyways, here is my answer:
Okay, it's true that I left EWS. Why?
Here's why:
I was not happy with their policy towards clients, and the way they did business. Besides that, payment was bad (not the amount, just them not paying)
BUT: I will NOT tolerate ANYONE saying that it is MY fault that they NOW have such bad service.
I worked my ass off to keep my clients happy, to gain clients and to support them. I worked 20 to 22 hour days, 7 a week. I lost my wife and my health because of it. Find it true or not, that I leave up to you.
My health seriously went down the drain. I started loosing my hair, and my weight went back to 120lbs. I also had sleeping problems and my entire body sometimes just started shaking for several minutes.
I ALWAYS respected people... I ALWAYS treated my clients right, not ever have I had any complaint about MY (me personally) way of dealing with clients...
I am a man that holds respect up high - for there is already a lack of respect in the works (e.g. --> USA bombing)
It is up to you to believe me. I can imagine you find me a liar, if so, that is okay by me. I will not force you to choose else way, and I will respect your choice however I truly regret it.
However, I do KINDLY ask you to respect my private life I restarted now and NOT to post anything about ME. I do not care what you post about EWS, just leave me out of it, for I did not deserve this.
EWS went on with the other president, and he did it his way. I quit and as from then I am no longer responsible for his actions. Because of a lawsuit he filed against me I was NOT allowed to tell anyone about a "take-over". We have discussed this with his and my lawyer and compromised.
A message to Brad: I sincerely pitty you. I helped you so many **** times and I didn't charge you a damn cent for it where other's did! And now you post something I tell you because I trust you on a board? Thanks a whole lot. Sincerely appreciate your help and thank you for not charging me for it!!
As for Tina: You did not speak to me about that Dedicated / colocation deal. That was "F" you spoke to. He was also the one that apologized to you (from my workstation btw, just to clarify). I also tried to phone you to explain this to you, however, you never answered the phone for "whatever" reason.
JFYI - I am far from the age of eating happy meals....
Also, I did once sent you a message to apologize for what happened and I told you I lost my temper, which I did, towards Frederik. Which you (I now presume) failed to understand.
Yes, my wife (ex now ) WAS in bad health indeed, she was just diagnosed with cancer 2 days before. I truly regret the fact that you use such a thing to make me look bad and to get your business back up... Now THAT is what I call WEAK... Did I ever tell anyone about YOUR disability? NO! WHY? Since I respect people for WHO they are and not WHAT they are...
Again, I apologize for what happened, but please DO understand there is nothing I can do about it. It now is the new EWS's policy and I am no longer part of that.
Please respect my choice, respect me choosing for myself again. I truly apologize if I offended anyone, but please understand the reason for my defence: I truly feel I did not deserve this after all I have done for so many people...
I am not a bad guy, and for those that know me, they can confirm.
I thank you all for your time. And if you have any comments or questions, feel free to ICQ me at 14690380
Best regards,
Leslie Herps
Former EWS Co-president.

YOU LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS YOU!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:
I can't believe you would say that!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:
For the record, I now do not believe ANYTHING this guy says!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT ONE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:angry:
ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

I'd just like to say that it is not polite to post private conversations in public forums, unless it was fine by the individual.
AH-Tina 11-01-2001, 11:22 PM I dunno. I'm still wondering what he meant by me using this to "get my business back up". MY business was never down or in question. :eek:

Too bad we aren't like all the old native americans who didn't know what it was to lie :D .

This again shows how professional you are Tina, I am sure people will see and reconsider their oppinion.
Didn't I buy the domain from you? Yes, credit card did not go through. Didn't I offer to send you a cheque? Cash even? Didn't I offer you help in many was such as a good review for your kindness regarding the review?
I always respected you Tina, up until now.
I truly regret the fact that a supposily grown up business woman like you has to make others look bad just to get a share in business.
Tina, ask yourself this, what do you care if it was me of not? Even if I was, would you gain anything? Would you loose anything? No! All you gain, is a bad name for me, and a good name for yourself. In my country, we call this "over lijken gaan". Which, roughly translated means: "I do not give a damn about others, as long as I do good. And if I CAN, I surely WILL 'kill' the others to make sure I WILL STAND HIGH. Over THEIR DEAD BODY"
('over' means 'over' - 'lijken' means 'dead body' - 'gaan' means 'to go')
Tina, I wish you the best in business. I am sure you will do just fine, doing the way you are. Up to the top for Tina, not sucking her way up, but killing her way up...
Sorry to all of you that I had to put it this way, so rude. I completely agree.
But please understand: I am a man that holds respect up high. Respect me for who I am. I NEVER did anyone harm; I have been taken advantage of MANY MANY times of all the good things I did and offered. Look at Brad, helped him many times setting up his servers, for free. He stabs me in the back. Offered Tina help SEVERAL times for the domains, and I WANTED to pay for them so badly, offered many many times to pay for them, and she now uses this fact against me (of course she doesn't mention ALL details... understandibly...)
Anyways... To all of you:
One thing I learned, and which I am very greatful for and which I will continue doing so.
Respect your clients, and treat them with care. And love your beloved ones, do not spill all your time trying to build a business, why you can build on something much stronger, and much more valuable then a business... A life, a partnership...
I lost mine, got it back. And until you experienced yourself, you can NOT imagine how greatful I am for this...
Again, I thank you for your time. Best of luck to you all!!

you can say all that with just 3 words.. i can imagine a conversation over there...
"me yua"
"na"
"tre tu ta"
english version
"hey man how you doning long time no see. i was wondering what happened to you i though you had left the to the usa"
"no i have been here. and yeah right to the usa. not with all those things going around over there"
"well true. but you never know. anyways hows the family doing. i heard your son is getting married soon. dont tell me its with the girl dound the street...whats her name again?"
:D its a joke dont go and get mad at me...

Dear yuffie.
I am still willing to help to make sure they dont charge you,
eventhough I no longer work for them...
Please shoot me an email at herps@email.com so I can give you some instructions...
Best regards,
Leslie Herps
AH-Tina 11-02-2001, 08:18 AM LESLIE:
DO NOT continue to attempt to contact me off this board. I told you months ago to stop it and I'm telling you again. Any further attempted phone calls (no matter what - my staff WILL NOT give you my personal phone number) or emails to me will be considered harrassment. If you feel you have any threatening to do - hire an attorney and have him contact me.
Otherwise, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ME AGAIN!!!!
--Tina

You call it harrasment? Tina, grow up and think like an adult. Adult talk stuff over. If I have a problem with someone, I talk about it with them so we can both resolve any issues there might be. I am always very kind and polite, even when you have insulted me like this.
Obviously you are not ready yet to do this. So I suggest instead of yelling at people, you consider what you have done, and how you could do better.
Before even more people think of you as a not only a non-professional business woman, but also a very non-social woman in person...
The world is already full of issues... Making problems is no big deal, anyone can... RESOLVING problems on the other hand is only for the cultivated...
Cultivated... Hmm look that up in the dictionary some time!! Might do you some good!
Tina, act like an adult... Use ratio.... Stop acting like a furious child who can only post posts about others and how bad they are... Typical child behaviour... The OTHERS are always wrong... They never think of what THEY THEMSELVES might do wrong or might have DONE wrong....
Again Tina, I wish you the best of luck, and as far as I am concerned, this can stop right here. But then, please do not ever get in to my personal life... It is NONE of your business... Just like YOUR private life is noone else's business... Would you like it if I would tell people about your personal life? About the "disability" you have? I am sure you don't.... And I won't... For I am a civilized, educated and loving man... Good luck and just leave this entier conversation for what it is...
That is all I have to say...
