Hello,

I am EPH.. aka smasher. im a small time computer web designer and i have a small ongoing project ive been working on for years now. it is called Polaris IRC. a Internet Relay Chat script. Originally i used polaris-central.com but the other owners of polaris didnt wanna keep the site online so they made it forums only and chat. I took the liberty to look into a new domain. Jeem aka Jim from oxygenshell.com told me hed help me out, buy the domain for me and let me route it to my hosting i have. Later on i format my computer losing the login info for qmail/ and the 2 ftp;s he set up to help me host the script. I try to get the information and im turned down. I am told "O Well" if i dont have the information. I asked if i could purchase the domain, the measly 14 bucks MAX he probably spent on the domain, he wants 40 bucks. I dont believe this, even after he bought the domain he said he would give me the ownership, i never recieved that. So offering to buy this domain off him so it costs him nothing would be a given.
Through my experiance with oxygenshell, i will never return to them, and i suggest no one else does. I have seen rude admins, rude sales management, but nothing like Oxygenshell. I thank him for buying the domain, but the service and help he gave was horrible, i know he bought it for me for free. However i did advertise on a web page that got enough hits to compencate for his 10 to 15 dollar loss!

Here is a Long but to the point quote that i have taken from my logs. If you want to see a little more detail.

<eph> how much is the domain going to cost
<eph> id like to own it myself.
<jeem> If you wanted to purchase it
<jeem> 40$
<eph> alright. when u bought it what did hte options set for?
<eph> how many yrs did you reserve it for?
<jeem> 1
<jeem> I gotta make good money from a nice domain..
<jeem> heh
<eph> u seem a little diferent then our last convo's
<eph> you angry at me or something?
<jeem> yes
<jeem> keep ****ing messaging me
<jeem> when im busy a mofo
<eph> then shall i just leave you the domain and beon my way?
<eph> just gimme the word man. no time for rude attitudes because i lost some info
<eph> will u just give me the domain for however much u paid for it
<eph> i dont wana get into all this
<jeem> nope

If anyone wants to respond please do, if you think you could help me out with hosting or a domain * not how jeem did * i would appriciate it. Please give me an email.

Fact: 90% of all public Shell Providers are run by immature teenagers.
Fact: This was one of them.

yes i am the co writer / and main owner of polaris. recently i have become the only member of the team so it gets harder to afford hosting/ and all that stuff. thus, these little kid admins dont help me much with there bull hords.
