    As upset as I am with this company, at least they told us what was going on. I suppose that is at least worth a thanks.

    Wonder how many people will come back and notice their server is gone after a day or 2

    Should've given then at least a week.

    Mike told me that he'd leave my server online until the 25th, at which time it would be shut down. That was what we agreed upon. It would allow me time to get my **** off the servers.

    I wonder if this has now suddenly been changed. Sent e-mail to Mike, no response yet - but its only been 10 minutes.

    FYI: I saved that e-mail, Mike.

    Hmm still no response from Mike or NectarTech. I hope they are just watching a football game or something.

    If my server disappears, Mike - all bets are off. That is all I am saying.

    Web sites/Forums are of no exception to the law. The poster is held liable for what he or she does.

    Then I saw this from the Compady ticket system. Mike, why are you talking about yourself like you're in the third person? You <edit> crook. You made a promise to keep my server on until the 25th without charge. I am paid through the 10th. That was 15 days without charge.

    Fine, if I hustle - I can have my <edit> off there by the 10th. If my server goes offline one minute before midnight on the 10th, rest assured I am going to hunt your <edit> down and deal with you.

    You lying bastard.

    Mike has responded to your help desk request.

    -----------------------------------------------
    Any agreement you may have had with Mike I am assuming would not go through unless he made arangements with Nectar to that regard which I doubt. You will need to contact them about your server and work something out.

    Dude it's a bad deal and not right, but to cuss him out publicly
    A) It doesn't help
    B) It won't make him refund you any faster, or more willing to help.
    C) Makes you look totally unprofessional.

    Sure your gonna sue for 7 days, lol lawyers will laugh at you

    I can understand your anger, and trust me I get there too!
    A wise man once told me, take a deep breath, get up walk away from PC, do something (anything) for about 10 Min's, relax then come post after you are thinking clearer

    Now, I pass that on to you (my good deed for day)
    Regards,
    Eric

    I understand your frustration, but calm down and look at the facts and evaluate your alternatives.

    Compady has only paid through today according to the link. Nectar, at this point, has given only two choices. Sign up with them or be shut down at midnight. Whether they will bend any remains to be seen, but as they say they have no obligation to (although I might argue moral obligation). If you can move your sites tonight, then fine. If not, you better bite the bullet and pay for a month at nectar. I know you don't like either of those choices, but you have to choose at this point the lesser of the two evils.

    Don't waste more energy screaming, cursing, ranting, and threatening. Instead conserve it and use it to make the best decision you can at this moment and to take action now to protect your sites. Worry about the other issues afterwards.

    Just a word of advice to help you do what's best for you tonight.

    kkimmel - What good is registering "CompadySucks.com" if they're going out of business like you state? It's not a warning for others not to buy from them, as your numerous other "sucks" websites do.

    Am I correct in assuming that you paid Compady for this month of the server, but Nectar says that they were not paid? If so, just issue a chargeback against Compady, and pay Nectar for the next term.

    I paid by corporate check. You can't charge it back and it has already been cashed.

    And from what I have heard, Mike plans to continue to attempt to operate his shared hosting services. I am going to see to it that he never gets another customer if I can help it. He can suffer along with me.

    Why don't you just pay for a month with Nectar, to give you plenty of time to get things off the server? It seems much more sensible that complaining and rushing things...

    I normally do my own suing - I dont need lawyers for most of the cases I handle. Contrary to popular belief, you dont need a lawyer to go to court. And I have sued people for less amounts of money and taken it all the way to the circuit court of appeals.

    I am not here to be "professional". Thats what you guys (webhosts) are here for. You all can be professional. I'll be honest and realistic. There is usually a difference between the two.

    So how many tens of thousands of dollars of tax payers money have you spent in court cost recooping less amounts than you are owed by compady, which I am guessing cannot be more then a couple of hundred bucks at most?

    Mike at Compady skipped out on last month's bill, too according to Nectar.

    Where is my <edit> money you son of a biitch! You insisted that I pay your bills and nows you leave me hanging with your upstream. <edit>. I am going to find you and when I do... (we'll leave this sentance unfinished so that I am not arrested for threatening bodily injury).

    You might not have heard, but there is this little thing called court costs and the loser gets to pay them. This is in addition to filing fees and other costs. The loser gets to pay those as well, if the plaintiff so requests (I always do) and they are tacked on to the judgement. So if you sue someone for $200.00, that can easily become $500 after all things are tally'd up and submitted.

    And regardless of which, I pay taxes every year to support the court system as well as other government services. And I have every right to use them and if you are trying to imply otherwise...
