[QUOTE=rosar0980;30639736]Be proactive and have an IQ over 5. I check the TOS of [i]everything[/i] I play/use periodically so that I know if any changes were made and I can decide whether to continue on with my day or cancel service. [editline]22nd June 2011[/editline] And it is a legally binding contract, so you're kinda shit outta luck. [editline]22nd June 2011[/editline] And, if you look at most TOS, it's in pretty much every single one. This is so that if someone decides to be stupid and try and sue them for changing the TOS, they can say "We didn't have to tell you." and she the judge the contract the user agreed to.[/QUOTE] It's not legally binding if you purchased hosting from them even though you weren't >18. I could buy shit online when I was 15, doesn't mean I could sign any sort of legal document.
I wish I could buy a title so I could have "Sup, broski." under my username or something.
[QUOTE=amcfaggot;30644541]I wish I could buy a title so I could have "Sup, broski." under my username or something.[/QUOTE] what does this have to do with anything
[QUOTE=Sublata;30644606]what does this have to do with anything[/QUOTE] Looks like we have another mystery to solve haha
[QUOTE=amcfaggot;30644541]I wish I could buy a title so I could have "Sup, broski." under my username or something.[/QUOTE] So are you working for the man again?
Are they lying that they re-hired you? [editline]23rd June 2011[/editline] :ninja:
No.

It was me telling him what he wants to hear so he'd stop hounding me with his lawyer threats every time he wanted to get something from me. I would have just asked my employees to remove it. Keep in mind, that conversation was back from when he first fired me.
Really sounds like Jacob is hitting himself over this. Maybe since they rehired Andrew, hes feeling a bit down. Thats pretty unfair, but business is always dirty these days. Over the top on the competition. Oh well, nothing is going to be accomplished out of this thread any longer. The name calling, and pointing out legalities. I guess the best we can all do is vow to not use their service for the unfair treatment of Jacob. Atleast he was fired with severance of $5000, I never got that before.

[/QUOTE] I don't give a fuck about the situation anymore, like I said - that conversation was a day after I was fired. The only thing I care about right now is getting my new company online so I can provide what I promised to provide back at Brohoster.

I did get my last paycheck, but that's about it.

What you read here publicly isn't the full story.
The definition of blackmail is asking for money/service/whatever in return for not releasing information. You know, like sexy pictures or incriminating evidence. Not just asking for money. I think that's requesting severance for leaving a company or something. (given that's all that happened, the chatlog is vague on it) [editline]oh[/editline] oh sweet ninja'd by JWJ mentioning severance [editline]oh[/editline] ahahaha [QUOTE=JWJ;30644811]Figured someone would post that eventually.

Ninja'd by the man himself.

The only thing I care about right now is getting my new company online so I can provide what I promised to provide back at Brohoster.[/QUOTE] Its a good thing that you're able to put this behind. Sounds like so much anger and distress over there that there was a problem still brewing and about to boil over at times. But you're a smart guy, just look what you did for brohoster. You took a company from the ground, and built it to the top. You could've sold the business for $350-600k one day if you had full control of the business. Perhaps your future business endevours will put brohoster to shame. A great entrepreneur starts from dirt at the start, fueled by being cheated, they make the best companies. Remember to keep your edge. Hopefully this was a damn good lesson for you bro. [quote=JWJ;30644854]I guess the best we can all do is vow to not use their service for the unfair treatment of Jacob.

[QUOTE=PelPix123;30644945]...huh? Blackmail is when you threaten to do something to someone if someone doesn't do something for you. There's either not enough information here or Matt has NO IDEA what blackmail is.[/QUOTE] as well as every other law he seems to throw at me
matt acts like he knows the law but in reality he's just a college dropout who steals peoples businesses?
[QUOTE=Erp;30644983]matt acts like he knows the law but in reality he's just a college dropout who steals peoples businesses?[/QUOTE] That actually makes sense if that's true.
[QUOTE=Erp;30644983]matt acts like he knows the law but in reality he's just a college dropout who steals peoples businesses?[/QUOTE] Clearly thats what we see here... well at the surface level at least.
JWJ i hope your new company prospers. Matt its just a giant willy head.
so is it just matt thats invloved or is it also nick and larry because I like larry and nick just not matt
jwj post suddenly CU-MattR is in visitor list coincidence??
I have a sad feeling the new company will be like everything else though Even if someone executes something really poorly, attempting to do a better copy of it usually ends worse than the original Original as in before being fucked up though
[QUOTE=Tobba;30645156]I have a sad feeling the new company will be like everything else though Even if someone executes something really poorly, attempting to do a better copy of it usually ends worse Not sure if that applies to being made worse after already being done though[/QUOTE] The main focus with my new company is innovation and bringing new things to the playing field. I could start a new company right now on TCadmin if I wanted to, but I'm not going to.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;30645208]Minecraft only or can I stick my old site back on it?[/QUOTE] I'll try to fit in webhosting as early as I can. Won't be a main focus though.
[QUOTE=Erp;30644983]matt acts like he knows the law but in reality he's just a college dropout who steals peoples businesses?[/QUOTE] I'm not going to point fingers but I find that last part [b]very ironic[/b].
JWJ, who controls the rights to the new control panel? Or are you working on a [I]new[/I] new control panel?
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;30645285]JWJ, who controls the rights to the new control panel? Or are you working on a [I]new[/I] new control panel?[/QUOTE] I do. It's open source, but we'll be licensing it out to communities and other GSPs soon after the company launch.
