So to come into a discussion and say how great these other hosts are compared to him is not fair and I think rude.
I know it's to spam and personally I don't care if you spam. Personally spam to me is auto posting crap a reference is hardly spam in my book.
I have posted probably 5 promotions in the last 8 years here on the front page. Considering the thousands I have spent on advertising i don't think they mind. But honestly I do still feel weird about it.
Anyways I'm sorry, no disrespect! I know he worked his ass off for his company that's all. if there is ever a thread about our company going under I hope people say some nice stuff and respect what we tried are asses off to do.

That's the thing though. I didn't say it before it went under, just as it was. The host is dead in a few days.
Look at it from another angle. I had a property management company that was my life. My partner (in both senses of the word) disappeared one day with all of our clients money and our own money. $92 left to my name with outstanding checks written for way more than that. There was so way to save my biz, house or anything else. After pressing charges against him, I approached a friend and competitor and asked him if he could take over for the clients that weren't put off by the whole situation (the ones that trusted the truth was the truth)... We then contacted my clients together and got them moved over to his biz and he even discounted their services. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but it had to be done because it was the least I could do. We were all blindsided by the immediate closure of the biz.
Immediately I thought why didn't he partner up with somebody to transition those that wanted to. Just like when that CDN was shut down last year by their upstream, they worked with MaxCDN for an effortless transfer.
So since hostgladiator didn't offer that service I at least offered up the endorsement of a company that has hosted me for years without incident. It isn't unrealistic think a lot of customers are thinking wtf and want to migrate effortlessly. In comes a company I love who offers to move people and hook them up with free hosting for a few months. Of course I am going to give my endorsement after seeing that offer.
It's not like kacy spammed a thread of somebody complaining about ticket response time. Hostgladiator is going dark in a few days. Big difference.
And sorry I just got bitchy in your thread too.
