yes.

his reply was basically that he didnt have time for it

That doesn't sound like Brad, you should post the ICQ log :Graucho

my leg got reposessed. :(

Seriously, this thread was 100% publicity stunt? I never would have guessed

id post the log if i had it, gone with a format i guess

Wow, this really surprises me. I've always thought of Brad as a "stand up" kinda guy. But, as we all know there are always two sides to any story, so I'd be interested in hearing what Brad has to say about this situation.

Brad? Ya out there? :)

hmm.. interested to see the outcome of this.

I'd Like to see what Brad has to say about this??... This thread is making him out to be a lier??...I always thought Brad was a decent guy??...hummmmmm??????

This thread might last longer the second time around :1orglaugh

If I had the log, I'd post it too. Unfortunately, I reformatted my hard drive when I rebuilt my computer not too long ago. You didn't get the server and you know exactly why.

This thread started on "07-08-2002 05:26 PM" and a few days later I announced you the winner. I sent you multiple emails and countless ICQs so we could get you setup. You didn't have the courtesy to even return my messages so we could get you started. I waited several weeks and then ultimately just let it go.

Three months later, or thereabouts, you reappear on my ICQ and ask if you can have the server. You tell me that you went to some other hosting company but now you're broke again or something and could really use the server. My answer after careful comtemplation, NO.

I'm a person of my word, everyone knows that, but I'm also a person of principle. The spirit of this contest was helping someone to get an immediate boost in their business. Re-read the thread. So, on a technicality perhaps I should give you the hosting... but on principle: Go Fuck Yourself. You wasted my time and everyone elses. And now, like a bitch, you're here whining on the board for sympathy.

You won a contest for two months of free hosting and after three months of not having the common courtesy of returning my messages you appear out of the blue asking if you could still have it. I engaged everyone in good faith with all intentions of awarding a server. I did. It seems the winner of the contest was really a loser after all.

If I was going to give away a server right now, I'd rather give it to someone with decency and manners. It's two full months after the award would have been satisfied, quit your whining.

I held the contest in good faith. I made countless attempts to get you going and like an ass you ignored them. Now you're going to bring this to the boards and suggest that I just blew you off? Shame on you.

That's the story of what happened. I'm sure the audience here will be divided on my actions, but that's GFY.

Night everyone, I'll revisit this in the morning :321GFY

Brad

I still think i should have won. The ass rape by computer store employees should have put me over the top. *sigh*

Good reply Brad:thumbsup

What Brad said makes a lot of sense to me.

She won 2 months of free hosting in July, and then waits until the middle of November to come tell everyone that she didn't get it??

Almost anyone (me included) would have been in here 2 or 3 days later bitching and moaning......


Besides, Gary should have won, I know because I'm one of the computer store employees :1orglaugh

You know... it's like this. I really enjoy being Mr. Nice Guy all the time. However, I have my limits too. I'm always doing charity work and nice things for so many people. What happens? Shit like this.

:winkwink:

Brad

I just want my leg back. Thats all

Brad - you're still a "stand up" kinda guy in my book hon. :thumbsup

MistaT - you fucked up. Plain, pure & simple.
It's a shame too, offers like this don't come along every day.

Asks Santa for it.

Thanks for your kind words!! Despite the fact that I don't know some of you, it does make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

...Oh, and I'll try to find that missing leg, Gary.

Brad

Much appreciated

Actually i didnt ignore any attemps, i didnt get contacted by you ONCE. I stopped using ICQ because half my messages werent getting sent or received and i love to know who you were emailing 'cos it sure as hell werent me.

Quite your whining, you fucked up.

Scheming shit hole.

MistaT,

You are saying that Brad did not contact you at all, or at least his attempts did not come through to you? Why did you not email him or post on the boards about his inaction? Seems a little odd to just keep quiet about winning a server and not getting it.

Are you listening to yourself? We were ICQing each other regularly every day while the contest was undecided. Do you expect us to believe that the day it ended you stopped using it?

Look, I had both your email address and your ICQ address. I sent messages to both. Besides which, my contact info is all over the damn place and in a worst case scenario you could have posted here. Loser.

Brad

MistaT - it sure sounds like you fucked up :(

Brad - was there a "runner up" ? :winkwink:

Marzzo - it looks like you and two other people had relatively compelling stories. Unfortunately, I'm burned out on this issue and have decided that the prize is no longer available.

Best of luck!

Brad

Word :glugglug

Even if what you're saying is true, it still doesn't explain why you waited until November to publicly state that you never received a prize you won in July

shame on you MistaT

Brad Mitchell went out of his way to help me when i was totally down on my luck

he did not hesitate and he did it unconditionally

Brad is a man surrounded by good Karma for all of his altruistic deeds

i have talked privately with many people in this industry (many of which frequent this board) about Brad and how he stepped up to the plate for me, with no motive, to help out a person he has never even met and that speaks volumes about his character

if you're fucking with Brad then you're also fucking with me

so either tell the truth or shut the fuck up

:321GFY

scary :1orglaugh

the only thing that is scary is your inability to tell the truth

so put up or shut up fucker
