Myles, yeaaahh, I hear ya.
However, Guides or Liaisons don't speak on behalf of WHT, although they do wear the badge. I guess if anyone feels the above Guide's comments are out of line, then they should report it. It will get looked into, and actioned if needs be.• WLVPN.com • NetProtect owned White Label VPN provider •

My my seems like quite a little cauldron of drama surrounding your "return" and earlier departure.
Now I can't and won't comment on the drama surrounding this fella, since I wasn't involved but I will say, this is why I never "quit" a forum or other online community. The little dramatic "farewell you'll never see me here again" departures are just too, well, silly, it's a forum, post, or don't post. It really makes you look silly as heck to "quit" a forum only to come back later to post again.
I read through some of the mentioned threads and man what a tangled mess that is, looks like you woulda been better off just to stay gone, those other threads sorta let off an odor of Timmah that I ain't smelt in a while thankfully... Wonder where old Timmyboy is nowadays. Oh guess I did manage to comment on the drama afterall, oh well.Gary Harris - the artist formerly known as Dixiesys

Yeah I believe that our returning friend is using copied content on his website.. but when the company isn't bothered I don't think we should be mulling over the issue.
Mr. Big I think it was a very good work on your part to identify the rip but that's all we can do unless we are directly related with the company. You can let the other website know about the rip,

That would be a post by the WHT member who is being ripped, threatening a lawsuit against Shay. So, I would say the company getting ripped in this case is very bothered.
Aside from that, I disagree with you entirely. One function of WHT is self-policing our industry. This includes naming&shaming those who rip. So I will continue to point out WHT members who are ripping content:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...hreadid=421166
There's another example of a company which promised to stop plagiarizing others' work on their website. I intend to keep mentioning that until they remove the ripped content, just like with Shay.Last edited by BigBison; 07-09-2005 at 11:38 AM.

OOps.. sorry Mr Big.
I skipped that link cos I thought it contained more remarks on Portal and details of the rip. From the post here..
I couldn't guess that a law suit was on. But later on I came against a post that mentioned that the company dropped the suit cos they couldn't verify portal's age!!Articles, Blog Posts, Content Development and Copy Writing

Right.. I am also against plagiarizing cos I am a writer myself. And I am very much on you side I have also learnt from mistakes.
So.. has Portal removed the content or is it still there.
If it is still there.. can't we identify the webhost and ask them to discontinue hosting Portal's website from their servers??
Btw, im also returning to WHT after 4 months (i was banned for using multiple usernames) am i welcome back here??Last edited by experiencedwriter; 07-09-2005 at 11:49 AM.

While I haven't the faintest idea which peer1 customer would be willing to host Portal, I think its a safe bet to see nobody would want Portal offline then Peer1 (since he ripped them off also, for values rumored well into the 5 figures for half a years services).Myles Loosley-Millman - admin@prioritycolo.com

This is because a contract signed with a minor is unenforceable. It only matters that Shay was a minor when he signed up. There is absolutely no reason a minor can't be taken to court for plagiarism and copyright infringement, however.
That's just plain illegal and wrong, ignoring a C&D order from the copyright holder would be looked upon very unfavorably if it winds up in court.0

I follow up on these things, always hoping that the ripped content has been removed so I can bump the threads and say, "The ripped content has now been removed." I would've loved to do that with Profound, except they only removed 90% of their ripped content.

Thanks for the welcome..
So that means Peer1 was negligent in not verifying Portal's age and then allowing him to "carry" his equipments.
It wont matter if they signed him when he was a minor, they can still persue a case against him and the court can send him to the reformative center, also, the parents and promoters (if any) can be asked to make the payments.
I am majoring in law and specilaizing in cyber laws so this is a topic of interest. And i'll follow up such matters.. So if you need help Mr. big get in touch. Im sure i'll get to learn a lot.
That's according to Indian laws, don't know if the US law is similar on this aspect.Last edited by experiencedwriter; 07-09-2005 at 12:08 PM.

There was no secrecy in getting our equiptment from peer1, the second Peer1 found out lawyers were being involved, they were more than happy to co-operate in freeing up our equiptment, there was a bunch of "undidentified" bills which was the main reason the whole fuss with XeoComm started.
hope that clears it up for you folks that like to gossip!0

Myles, I'll be glad to repay you for the cpanel licenses, I've totally forgot about that and I've been busy lately with things other than WebHostingTalk. Just create an invoice for the owed amount, and email it to me. I also do not appreciate when you spread rumors around btw.
BigBoison, at the time codemysite was created it I asked pristineweb if I could use his details for the time being, in which we agreed, I told him it would only be temporarily however, that is where I went wrong, it's been there since the start, I am in the process of getting a new design put up though - Thanks for your concerns, I appreciate it!
Anymore questions? I'll be glad to answer them, people jump ship without knowing anything nowadays0

Singing that song works well the first time or two, but wears thin after half a dozen attempts. Have you made well on your debts to Peer1? To muppet? To God only knows who else you scammed by reporting the Credit Card you had attached to your PayPal account as stolen? I find that very hard to buy, considering you've had ample opportunities, yet showed no sign of remorse, or indication that you intended to make well on your debts.
Last but not least, please fill me in on what I'm spreading that you would classify as a "rumor" instead of "fact", or "reasonably established fact"? We already know you bailed on Peer1 in an unethical manner, that you didn't pay off the slew of parties you owed money to, that you've left subscriptions to customers who are no longer active recurring, and withdrawing money from said parties, and that you've been less then cooperative in returning colocated equipment, and not whatsoever forthcoming about honesty on a variety of levels, is there anything I've missed here?

Timmah! was another presumably under-age con artist that struck various WHT members repeatedly ripping them off (selling yearly packages and going "out of business" weeks later, only to re-appear later, ripping off hosts, not paying for servers, you name it). WHT has had a slew of them, most recent I can recall being Donna (AngelNetworkz) who is apparently back in business, sadly enough.Myles Loosley-Millman - admin@prioritycolo.com

Hmmm I might remember though after seeing so many bad web hosting companies go out of business or run with the money it is hard to remember who is who . Though yes I do remember AngelNetworkz really well. As well I can not believe they are in business again...
In which I still think there should be regulations and laws in place for web hosting businesses.

"**** Off!" and put everything back online.
What's considerably more troubling is your inability to own up to your actions instead of posting more excuses for them. A mea culpa to Justin is in order, something to indicate to the world at large that you recognize you were in error, have learned from your mistake and won't let it happen again. I'm afraid this leaves me with no choice but to be of the opinion that this won't be the last time we hear of you ripping somebody else's work.

I can't understand why Portal keeps coming back with excuses.. When there is everything against him he is still trying to prove that it's not he who is wrong. He has clearly plagiarized Justin's content and has no right to keep it on.
I seriously hope he returns only after removing the content from codemysiteArticles, Blog Posts, Content Development and Copy Writing
