Hello Everyone,

For the past few years I have been a member of the Web Hosting Talk community and have enjoyed every second of my time with all of you. As many of you may know, I came onto these boards way back in 1997 (I think) under various names, and have lived the dreams of every internet entrepreneur. I started a small time design company, and after many visits to this board, I was able to establish an even smaller web hosting division. Well, as the years progressed, the small hosting division turned into a huge success and surprised everyone, even myself.

In 2001, I helped establish the UnlimBand website for web users against unlimited bandwidth. This site helped in getting the message out to consumers about the injustices that unlimited bandwidth web hosts were causing. To the date of September 1, 2002 the site received over 1,000,000 page views and countless emails from people sharing their experiences on unlimited bandwidth web hosts.

I would like to take this time to tell everyone that I will have to leave the hosting industry and the WHT boards and community to pursue various activities. I would like to thank all of you for your support throughout my time here, and would like to wish everyone in the community good luck with their web hosting ventures.

Thank you everyone and I hope to see you all in the future (whenever that may be) :)


Jim Beckish

I wish you unlimited luck and well being in your future various activities.

I'm sure you will be missed

UNLIMITED DOESN'T EXIST


:D

Whatever you're doing Jim, I'm sure you'll prosper.

Good luck in your new ventures.

:wavey:

Ya could stop in once in a while; ya know. ;)

can I have the domain? :angel:

Best of Luck!

Good luck in your future endeavors. I noticed that unlimband.com is currently not accessible. I hope, for whatever it's worth, that you are able to keep that site running.

Bye Jim, I want you to know that we will miss you and thank you for all your great help. You were a great asset to WHT and I am sure it will be hard to get someone to replace you. Best of luck to you, I wish you all the best!

Jim:

You have done a great deal for this industry. Your effort to tell the world about the non existance of unlimited bandwidth has yet to be unmatched. Always been a very helpful and welcoming member of the boards. We will miss you :)

I wish you well with your future endeavors - whatever they may be. Be sure to check in every few months ;)


Can I please have the honor of keeping the unlimband cause alive??? :)

It seems like everyone's leaving hosting. :bawling:

Good luck to you Jim. Maybe you can still post in the Lounge once in a while. :D

Best of luck Jim!!!!

JimB, I sure wish you didnt have to go, you have been a highly valued and respected member of WHT, maybe you could pop by every so often casually to check things out and show your face.

If thats not possible I can completely understand your position.

May I personally wish you good fortune for the future and I hope you have enjoyed your time at WHT.

:cool:

Best wishes and be well.

A loss we all will feel. With all the bad we see here, we often forget the quality and professional people in our industry and you have certainly represented that category well. Good luck.

All the best Jim, Good luck with your new venture!

Best of luck to you.

What will happen to unlimband.com ? It cannot be accessed anymore. It is a great site, and I reffered many people to it. Would be sad to see it gone.

Good luck, hope to see you around bud.
(Don't be shy to AIM me once in a while, you can't go away from the internet completely ;) )

good luck...remember there are no absolutes soo unlimited....

hey if unlimited band is going down cause of lack of funding let me know asap. i'd be happy to support it anyway i could wether it be hosting or what not...good luck

Let's copy the information from that site (I haven't personally been there but from these comments it seemed informative) and put it in the WHT FAQ. Then it'll live on forever. :D
