i think its fucked up to go out like that and not make any public announcement.

i have some pretty funny/fucked up stories from the last couple of weeks if anyone still wants to hear them, especially since i got a chance to speak to nick and his father face-to-face as i picked up servers from him.

Hey you think that's fucked up? When WSB shut down we found out because when we checked our stats, a " sorry we're closed" letter was there instead.

Gone, out, bye-bye, see you later alligator, finished... adios.

when you sit down and think about a company with the name "like whoa" well I really can't think of it ending any other way... sad so manny people got screwed.. but I don't think I would tie my business and the source of my income to some 18 year old kid... no matter how good he looked on paper..

Biggy2, when you say equinix, do you mean equinix.com is the new Like Whoa front?

No, equinix is a data center.

The new likewhoa front is: http://www.envisionext.com/

Looks like a Like Whoa design.

I meant to say Global Net Advertising.

Envision next is Stan, not Nick.

Maybe the gentleman who used to work there will share an overview/inventory of what they really had to work with.

Uh, Foundry bigIron 8000 routers aren't cheap and when you plop in some gig Ethernet cards it gets more expensive still.
Then you have the LAN switches. In any of these things the rackmount PCs are the cheap part.

LikeWhoa certainly wasn't a 1/2 rack. Try 5, with a large pile of unracked machines in the corner waiting to be racked (or picked up ).

Bandwidth is expensive when you buy a gigabit connection. Colo cages aren't cheap either.

Nick totally mismanaged LikeWhoa. I don't know any of this Hawaii stuff but as for truth -- I haven't seen anyone posting on here who has the real story.

I do know one employee who has the real story, hasn't been paid and is considering whether to sue Nick or just have him killed. At this time, personal responsibility suit for fraud is being considered as more likely to be cost effective.
