[QUOTE=nikomo;31391498]amcfaggot: Why is your name amcfaggot and what does it mean?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Xenoyia v2;31391520]Pretty sure his name was originally amcwatters, it's an alt.[/QUOTE]
My name is Andrew McWatters. I've been on the forums since 2005, and have gone by a few aliases. It's an alt. I finally settled on amcfaggot and changed my posting habits. The name "amcfaggot" comes from the tency of Facepunch's Lua scripters creating self-degrading alt names.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;31391551]Will Lethaldrive have webhosting?
I know I've asked this question like 3 times, but I always forget that the answer was.[/QUOTE]
Not initially. That'll come later, I take it.
[QUOTE=wlzshroom;31391492]considering you made this account to avoid a ban or something that would be a gimmick[/QUOTE]
No, you can trace the IP, admins, if you must. I've never made an account on here. I haven't been renting from Brohoster for long, or even playing Minecraft for too long. I rarely ever make accounts on any forum, or even view them, but when I find out I've been robbed, then yea, I will make one.
I'm on the "official" forums of minecraft under "Nurse_Brandon" and you can see that I just joined there recently too, and have asked nooby questions because well, I JUST STARTED PLAYING. I'm not trying to avoid a ban, so remove that tin-foil hat from your head.
Here you go... bro.

Can't upload a picture due to lack of privaledges, but there's the link. Shows one of my servers I rent from Minecraft, along with a Gift Code I bought that I sent to my friend. We have a total of 5 servers hosted by BroHoster, 3 on my account, 2 on his.
I love the slider that lets you select the amount of RAM you want for your server.
I'd say put recommended players beside it too, so people get an idea of what they need. (256 - 8, 512 - 16 etc)

ehhh. I might bring it in within a month or so but for launch I don't really have too much money to be spending on webservers.
:(
[QUOTE=jordguitar;31391569]How about you just take a break and let matt finish running it into the ground on club uptime[/QUOTE]
Considering he's also destroyed his own business as well, I can sit back and sip on capri suns today.
Well isn't that spec-fucking-tacular.
All those months remaining of my web hosting gone. And the contents of the site which I didn't get to back up. Also now currently too low on cash to buy another host.
:rolleyes:

Don't have money for webservers? You don't have capital at all... The only capital is last month's rent and the pre-orders, where the pre-orders don't even really count as capital. You're lucky with the situation because it gets people to invest in your company without any justification.

I instantly jumped to my bank statements to see if I could come up with 10 bucks for you to host with Lithium. I have 95 cents left.

Well, I did say it would happen.

Starting a company is hard. He can afford to support the preorders, and the profit from those will support more servers to support incoming orders. All it means is how fast he expands is limited.

Very kind of you and thanks but I'll do without for now. I was only these days using it as an image host.
Just kinda miffed that I didn't get a heads up about it (or if I did I foolishly missed it somehow)

No one was foretold of this.

[QUOTE]Hello Micheal,
I apologize for the delayed response; our Billing Department is not open on the weekends.
I am running into a problem with issuing another refund to your account, so I am going to pass this over to a member of our senior staff.
Please be patient with us. : )
Thank you,
Monique Avila
Brohoster Billing Manager [/QUOTE]
got that on the 25th and no response after, she couldn't refund me for some strange reason, would matt have had anything to do with that?
wait i thought of something
amcfaggot, once you get a stable source of income, couldn't you go after matt for this?

Neither did Brohoster. I started BH on $10 and look where it ended up. Not every company needs to have the actual definition of capital under their belt, who gives a shit where the money came from so long as I do what I say I'm going to do (and trust me, I will - otherwise I'm homeless in a couple of weeks)

I understand that you've lost a lot of money on this deal, but it really seems like you're trying to make people feel sorry for you. No one would go back and check their bank statements to see if they had 10$ to give to someone, they would know that they were broke and wouldn't offer in the first place. I feel sorry for everyone who lost money on this whole event, but try to lay off the "im poor now if you disagree I'll yell at you" attitude.
It's a bad deal, but there's still a future, there's no point in wallowing in defeat.

Are you really surprised? I mean look at the neckbeard. (I can hardly talk, I have a bit of a neckbeard at the moment). But still, he's screwed over loads of companies, it's how he rolls, so to speak.

Could be. I don't touch financial aspects at all.

No I am not surprised as I used to work for them.
I'm surprised the company managed to live for this long after the last incident. I was almost thinking they were going to last for at least a year, but it's not too shocking at the same time.
I wish the best for Andrew and the rest of the Brohoster crew that got fucked over by this. If I had the money to help decently aid you guys financially, I honestly would.

Yeah, because $10 is a lot of money. I had $25 this week, so lay off would you? I don't give a flying fuck what people think of me, it was a simple gesture of kindness.
Why was everyone ripped off so much?

Prediction #2 came true. Perfect.
@amcfaggot do you know if CU had money problems, could this have been the reason?
