I see Igor redesigned his site, but boy, i love his persistance. Check it out...Apparently he voted himself #1 for unix host by Host Search

"We are #1 rated unix host by Host Search!"

And check out his welcome page. I wonder where he stole that header from!

Im not familiar with champion host, what is the scoop on them??

It appears champion host is on a dedicated server of OLM. A good portion of the write up is from the OLM network page.

Its a one man team, his name is Igor, its like his Weasleboys brother, I heard alot that he likes to steal other companies websites and claim them as his own.

If you go to hostsearch, you will find about 99% of his reviews, were made by himself.

When this was brought up, he threatened to sue everyone...Why do you think I am posting without my normal Username...his a real nag and hard to get off your a**

What do you mean "Weasleboys" brother? Who are the Weasleboys?

Don't worry, Igor is not going to sue anyone, he never follows up. :)

So what's the story between the two of you? Did he step on your foot?

CHECKOUT http://www.HOSTSI.COM AND THEN http://www.CHAMPIONHOST.COM

Hmmm.... What didnt he rip !

does anyone know what sort of recourse you can get if someone's stealing your site?

have their been any cases recently concerning any of that?

Dont you remember Weasleboy (Truehosting.com)
hehe ;-)

I sent off a email to hostsi to let them know of Igors actions!

Plan on seeing a new website on Champion in a few days :)

I really hate to see hard work just taken like that...

Hey. Imitation is the sincerest form of theft.

And the picture is different -- which shows some intense creative effort, I think...

ya... he must have hit the next button on his free cd of unlicensed material... :)

ChampionHost has a new layout.

I wonder if he made it himself... hmmm... :)

Anybody know where they got it... lol?

hey! that's my site!

oh wait.. no it's not...

nevermind

Seriously, walking off with other people's designs is pretty common practice around the 'Net.

The CodeBrain design has been ripped over a hundred times (that I know of).

Of course, nobody ever gets very far with it. All the nested-within-nested-within-nested tables blow off all the amateurs the first time they try to edit it... lol.

... I've seen this design before (or maybe it was many times before).

It is a pretty classic design that you encounter in many different colors, usually stripped black/[color]. The pastel colors are also a must.

(sounds like im describing some category of animals)

Web design (similar ones) are like... bad movies, similar movies. They are just easier to do, thus there are many many more available ;)

From http://www.championhost.com:

"Champion Host Is A Division Of Global Web Communications"


From http://www.globalwebcommunications.com:

"Global Web Communications
A division of
Champion Host, Inc."


Well, which is it? :)

ROFLMAO! Well spotted Travis.

Hey guys, take it easy... don't all of you have your own hosting companies to run? :)

Igor has helped me out on a few occasions and vice versa. He tries to please everyone to the limit of his abilities, just like you and everyone else. And there is absolutely no reason to have this kind of a thread that degraded to nothing but mean comments. If you want to help him out, contact him and let him know what to change, but these kind of mean spirited comments help no one.

If you recognize a site that has been "lited," let the original owner know of this. If something has happened to your service, while hosting with him, demand your money back and drop a line to the BBB if you feel like it, but then, leave it alone...

I'm done talking. This should be a community of professionals, not a tub full of pirhana.

And there is no need to flood my mailbox about this. Take a step back and think of all the mistakes you've made when you were younger.

I would just love to see how you figure out the bookkeeping for this sort of arrangement.

well may be

global web communications is Champion host

and vice versa

Champion Host is also Global Web Communications

:)

I take it you havent seen my past thread on Igor. If thats not enough proof for you, then i dont know what is.

This guy is a flatout liar and cheat, and the only thing he can come up with is stealing other web hosting companies website...like www-hosting.net and hispeed.com and now this website that has just surfaced

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=2397

Look at his site

START
You've found it! With thousands of domains currently hosted, we feel that our quality of service is in a class by itself. Champion Host offers almost unlimited features and some of the fastest download speeds on the Internet today. We serve clients in all 50 States, Canada, Asia, and around the World
END

and then go to us at http://www.www-hosting.net

See anything alike? yah thats right, this looser named IGOR cant even come up with his own welcome letter. The reason i havent bothered with it? Its just words that i created on our website that popped in my head in 5 minutes. I am not going to go though all that **** with Igor again, his like a leach, once he gets on you, its hard to ge him off. So sad to see people like him who has never gone past the 4th grade pop up as a professional looking web host like that.

Maybe if someone forwards the URL of this to the two (errrrr... threee?) hosts it will somehow magically get changed? :)

I'm going to eat my words. I just found out how I've been had by the aforementioned... Sorry guys, you're right.

so i don't get it

this guy basically steals a look, gets caught, steals another one, gets caught, and the vicious cycle continues? (with apologies to the lady who coined that phrase...)

what sort of mentality would you have as a person to continue this? i don't get it...

i guess it'll just be a game of "guess who igor ripped off" today... maybe we should make prizes!

You guys may be interested to know that today the e-mail address moderators@webhostlink.com received a nice piece of e-mail from Igor @ ChampionHost with nothing but this :

SalutationSalutation SalutationSalutation SalutationSalutation SalutationSalutation SalutationSalutation SalutationSalutation SalutationSalutation SalutationSalutation

(etc. etc.)

No idea what that was about, but I dare say someone's definitely keeping an eye on this thread, and if he attempts to throw more junk e-mail at us again I'll be taking it up with his ISP and upstream provider directly.

It's not nice to make fun of people who stutter.
