    Now he hasn't replied to my emails. It's pretty sad someone has to rip you off for $20.00.

    I think you should edit the thread title.
    It's a very small percentage of members that fit that profile.
    There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

    ya very true....it makes us (WHT) look bad to newbies...

    ....and plus, most of the hosts/companies that rip people off aren't members here (anymore)

    Most of you aren't the people that I would want to business with, but if a mod comes across the post. They can change the topic, I forgot I can't. I tried though..

    But a good percentage of you are quality people, I think. But some of you.. I wonder.. : )

    Because alot of those members do rip people off in some way or another, but we can change the topic if the mods see.

    I've been ripped off by 5 WHT members so far, and it's getting pretty lame.

    [edit] But... I do see that there are tons of members as I have been active for awhile now and all of them aren't so bad. [/edit]

    Contacting the BBB (Better Business Bureau) usually gets rid of the most evil of the ripper-offers (?) from your list of hosts.

    Now what am I supposed to do with this bucket of tar and this bag of feathers?

    The store just ain't gonna take em back; ya know.



    Maybe we should save them until [insert any favorite name here] shows up, and have a little house warming party for 'em.

    You could use the stuff on one of those horrible nasty banned hosts.

    I'll exchange a bently of your choice for those feathers and the tar.

    I'll even throw in a crazy person that lives next door to me if you want?

    Thanks though.

    Heh nooooo... I won't try to collect or even mediate anything (though I have before and I prefer not to), however I won't let people post offers, flake, and then continue to post offers. One needs to supply the product/service offered.

    This pertains to WHT offers only, what people do off-board is too much for one Chicken to take care of

    I am not a rip off. In fact, Its absurd that anyone would accuse me of stealing a measly $20!

    The domain registrar has been assuring me that they will change the password, but it doesn't look like that will happen.

    Money shall be refunded.

    Also, jayjay, something you might want to consider...

    You never once said you were getting impatient and you were going to start on a mission to make me/my company look bad so hastily.

    In fact, the reason your emails weren't responded to was that you were sending me 2 or 3 emails every day which I replied to them all to start with, but then it started to become a real bore and I decided I would email you when I recieved the login info.

    Please understand I have to provide support for my customers as well as getting your domain on line.

    Seems like this thread could have been avoided had you stated this to the thread starter.

    If you quit reading his emails, how do you know he didn't state his position? Or; did you read the emails, and simply not respond?

    I'm not trying to flame you. Only trying to help you avoid a similar conflict.

    I read his emails, I just don't have the time to respond to them all.

    Anyway the pathetic amount of money which "i stole" has been refunded.

    Please close this thread.

    Also, software revue, I did tell him that I was waiting for the registrar to reset the password.

    But I suppose that is not good enough and I am now branded a thief? Oh Thanks.

    Issue resolved...

    EDIT: Thread will remain open until issue is resolved. Jayjay hasn't gotten domain or refund, just yet, but will update the thread when he does and then thread will be locked.
