[QUOTE=UrbanTwitch;30600682]I feel bad for publishing that article and I feel terrible. It wasn't my problem to deal with. But, as such, a news/blog site's main focus should be to report anything breaking and anything big. It was clear that it was huge event. People losing money. People getting fired over things we may not be sure. People complaining.
So, when I wrote the article, I did it because I knew it would be a big hit. Mainly because CraftHub likes traffic (doesn't any site?) and this was a gold-mine. I've been threatened before by WoM and others but not this extend. When Matt came calling, I had little to no-time to react on his threats. I didn't know weather he was drafting his cease-and-desist letter to me or to whoever. All I knew is some kid was calling to tell me it was wrong and I should taken down.
My concious told me take it down however I was pressure by viewers and others to keep it up. So I did. Now that I look back at it, I feel guilty. Do we PERSONALLY, oursevles, TRUTHFULLY, know Matt's reasoning behind this whole scandal? No. What about JWJ's side? No. We will never know the real truth because both parties choose what they want to say. We all keep dirty little secrets and so do they.
For all we know, Matt could be right. JWJ was negligent, etc. JWJ this that. ETC. OR JWJ was right and Matt did all of that. However, that doesn't change the fact that what I wrote was completely true. I wrote what was based on the forums on Facepunch and few others. These people are not fact checkers mainly people who spout what they see. Behind closed doors, which is what JWJ and Matt started off, is all different. So for that, I am sorry to Matt for posting the article.
I am NOT siding with either side. I do not know if Matt is lying or JWJ is. We just know the general outcome is "MATT IS DUMB SCUMBAG". And look at what we've done. We've basically sent this kid into oblivion. Death threats. Especially on his page. There are people who do worse and we let them keep their position (see: police, legistlators), and I feel bad for contributing to this.
The article? It will stay up. There's no point in taking it down. Everyone has seen it. It's actually one of CH's most popular articles and has been tweeted by Kappishe, among others, and replied to by Notch.
I just had to get this off my chest.[/QUOTE]
Regardless, you are protected under US law. No matter how much he bitches and moans, there is nothing he can do to force you to take it down. This is what I like about freedom of the press. No matter if you are right or wrong, you are still protected. Yea you might look like a huge idiot doing it but reporting on things is what you do. There will be huge idiots in the world who will try to white knight it all and think it is right to do COMPLETELY BULLSHIT THINGS (that pizza thing is one of them stop trying damnit) and there is nothing you can do about it. You just need to focus on reporting what you know and what is out there and let more people know about it. Having someone try to force you to take it down should not stop you nor should people acting like fools over it all stop you either.
twitch, you were reporting what was known, nothing wrong in that. If something like this was reported on by a national news corp, there's be sex scandals, drug deals, money laundering rings and more sex scandals being talked about for hours on end just due to speculation and hearsay from other stations or people they interviewed on the street. Hell, the "Obama doesn't have a birth certificate" thing was started by some stupid thing like that where a guy yelled it out in a conference and Fox ran with it (least that's the last I heard of it)
Honestly, calling to threaten you to take it down is just another thing that could only fuel the fire of whether he's guilty of the accusations or not. For god's sake, matt could have had this all done with if he actually just contacted his lawyer because at least then he wouldn't have been allowed to run around yelling and trying to defend himself all over the place.
to add to jord's mention of freedom of press to say whatever the fuck they want, just look at what comes out of some popular news outlets

I'd just like to let you know that brohoster won't be shutting down and you can stop cancelling your accounts. The Old Support Manager Took over the company and Andrew was re-hired. The bills have been paid. Thanks for getting rid of Matt.
Now I shall resume never posting. Good day.

I dont think you did anything wrong at all and im glad you posted the article. I see where you're coming from with all the death threats and shit but I mean the guy brought it on himself...The way he talks to people with the lack or little respect he shows.. its annoying. An example, the phone call with you or JWJ, if anything this was a reality check for him and now he knows he isn't jesus christ himself..and the death threats are a little overboard but name calling like neckbeard..thats just good fun. I appreciate that article you wrote and enjoyed reading it.

Why don't you article dudes just like interview people connected to Brohoster (primarily staff and/or former staff). I'm sure people would love to read that, and it would give your site more traffic.

I'd suggest interviews, I know a few people involved would be happy to speak out their views.
[QUOTE=UrbanTwitch;30600682]I feel bad for publishing that article and I feel terrible. [/QUOTE]
You can't feel bad for reporting on what appears to be the truth. Even after the article was posted, Matt had a chance to post an "official" response from BroHoster debunking any parts of it which he claimed were "lies" and salvaging his image, but instead he tried to strong-arm you into taking it down (hint: that means it's true and he didn't know how to defend his behavior).

[QUOTE=T2L_Goose;30600366]
If JWJ starts up a new server host and it's better, I'll move. If I find another server host that's better, I'll move. I'm not getting caught up in this dramatic emotional crap, and neither should any of you. Just cancel and leave if you don't like it.[/QUOTE]
"Dramatic emotional crap" is a huge part of choosing which business you buy products or services from
To use an extreme example, I won't buy shoes or clothing from a company known to use child labour and sweatshops even if they make the best fucking products in the world
i buy all of my clothing exclusively from sweatshops
they know they won't be eating for a week if they make something bad, so you always get quality
Matt is still in the thread.
[editline]21st June 2011[/editline]
Never mind he left.
[QUOTE=Squarebob;30602516]Matt is still in the thread.[/QUOTE]
Not anymore.
Cunt won't give me my EPP code for transferring my domain. If I knew I was paying that fuck for 6 months I woulda transferred to lithium ages ago.
Damn this thread was quite the long read.
[QUOTE=Centic;30602578]Cunt won't give me my EPP code for transferring my domain. If I knew I was paying that fuck for 6 months I woulda transferred to lithium ages ago.[/QUOTE]
I didn't have the domains until just a few weeks ago -- Jacob did. If you didn't get your EPP code in a timely manner, I'm definitely not the one to look at.
Either way: send me your Ticket ID number or client ID number and I'll have Namecheap send you your EPP code. If you have a namecheap account, I can push the domain into your account for free. You'll need to provide me with the Domain Push Authorization Code first, however.
Well I can't say I particularly care anymore, but the whole blaming Jacob thing, even if it's true, isn't going to work, especially direct implication. You should have more tact, regardless of how right you may or may not be.
I think brohoster should send out an [B]EMAIL! [/B]letting us know everything buisness wise (leaving JWJ and Matt R out of it) Just want to know the state of the company and servers....
Here is how I feel about the whole thing
The nail in Brohosters coffin is still communication and support. If they can't tell us what is happening with the company how can we be sure they are going to support us with the servers we buy.
I complained about Brohosters lack of communication and this was before "Brogate" happened. They didn't use this a time to fix PR, in fact Matt R made it worse with his threats. All they needed to do was communicate with us.
Also deleting and banning post/people on facebook and bro.cm during this time only made things worse.
Brohoster handled this worse than Sony handled getting hacked. (They still aren't giving us any information).....
