Cologroup is getting hooked up! - GoFuckYourself.com

pimpshost · 08-19-2002, 03:08 AM

Just so you know, I have some good news.....

Cologroup is getting hooked up with about $5 Mil from a VC firm called Global Funding. I receive some of the money this week and I am going to hire some additional employees and make big improvements. If you have any suggestions on what you guys want from us...or just a hosting company in general, let me know here or by email, [email protected]

I posted this on here, because I think this is a pretty good deal, because it is not too often that money gets given to companies that are involved in the adult industry and there are a lot of things that could use improvement and money makes that possible. I am really excited about this, and it will be interesting to see what Cologroup comes up with over the next year.

Cheers!

I'm sure Global Funding would feel proud if they knew
you where announcing it like this...........

Brown Bear · 08-19-2002, 03:12 AM

congrats Jason, you definitely deserve success!

Yes, I was reading this and thought the same.

Pimpshost - you need a PR person to handle your public relation matters.

Yes they would, they believe in the industry and Cologroup. That is why they put the money up.

ControlThy · 08-19-2002, 03:14 AM

Oh and congratulations with winning the trust of an investor, that is always a good sign.

pimpshost · 08-19-2002, 03:15 AM

I am just letting people know whats up. What actually gets done is what's gonna count. I have a lot of ideas I want to put to work.

You just got $5mil invested in your adult related company
and you do a post on this board announcing it as

"I think this is a pretty good deal".

I just think you are wasting a great opportunity.. that's all.

Congrats though

Thanks, ControlThy and Mr. Thumbs....I have been involved with the VC industry for about 3 years and it took a long time to gain the respect of the investors and figure out how to go about getting some backing. Biggest thing is it proves that in these tough times, investors are willing to try something different.

Pornwolf · 08-19-2002, 03:21 AM

C'mon Mr Thumbs you are being a lil hard on 'ol Jason. I think he was stating it simply and modestly. I would expect him to do something worthwile with it since he has already shown some initiative by creating a pretty decent hosting upstart.

Good luck Jason.

Brown Bear · 08-19-2002, 03:25 AM

This industry doesn't really work well with mainstream PR.

How many of you guys read press releases from the adult industry?

I think its great to post an announcement like that on this board.

Steve · 08-19-2002, 09:58 AM

They gave you $5M and you don't have a detailed plan on what exactly you are going to do with it?

Dude, hook me up with their number. I have some vague plans myself, perhaps they have an extra million laying around collecting dust.

Cheshire · 08-19-2002, 10:03 AM

Felicitações Jason!

Fletch XXX · 08-19-2002, 10:04 AM

Not to rain on anyones parade, but how does going 5 million dollars in debt equal success? And why is a Steve Miller song going on in my head?

Darkystar · 08-19-2002, 11:09 AM

Jason my congratulations

nocostporn · 08-19-2002, 11:22 AM

how many of you fucks emailed them for a loan?

svenne66 · 09-09-2002, 05:04 AM

Suggestions for improvements:

Improved support via phone.
Improved support via email.
Improved support via ticket system.
Improved support via live help.

Otherwise cologroup is great! But urgent issues must be dealt with urgently.

DarkJedi · 09-09-2002, 05:27 AM

Dude, now you simply HAVE TO throw a Huge Kick Ass Partey !!

You are so right on. It takes more than a week to get a new account up. Getting webalizer and other small items takes at least 10 days. Cheap price though. I guess you get what you pay for.

AWW - Kevin · 09-09-2002, 08:09 AM

congrats Jason

btw turn on your icq

Bigdogg · 09-09-2002, 08:37 AM

5 million huh? Guess your going to have to be paying for golf for the rest of the year!!

Congrats!!

SextrafficPete · 09-09-2002, 09:23 AM

support -

jason is partnering up with a guy named tyler for a support team. support will be very good in the next couple of weeks and on.

they are hireing a few new guys just to handle support.

Dax · 09-09-2002, 09:59 AM

Congrats Jason! That's exciting news. With that kind of bankroll if you played your cards right you could usurp the likes of Candid and Nat Net. Let us know if you get in the mood to acquire any established hosting companies

slackor · 09-09-2002, 11:42 AM

Is colohost any good?

I just did a GFY search and there's a lot of complaints about billing probs and downtimes....

[MistaT] · 09-09-2002, 11:47 AM

they are ok, id be saying nicer things if they had replied to my support ticket by now..

davvve · 09-09-2002, 12:40 PM

congrats to the $5 million Jason, that's a lot of cash to spend

Mikey · 09-09-2002, 02:13 PM

So what does that mean for us? lower prices? better service? if you are using vc money to improve service, it'd make me wonder.

AWC · 09-09-2002, 02:43 PM

Ditto on the support issues. I have a 6 day old ticket that has never been responded to and two e-mails that have gone unanswered in regards to the support tickets.

One of the reasons I chose cologroup was the announcement 3-4 months ago by Jason about their new control panel. This never happened for whatever reason. However, IF the control panel were in place, I could handle my own support needs on these two items.

PS... Billing is always on time.

Brown Bear · 09-09-2002, 02:49 PM

Yeah, I would say that if there is anything that Cologroup could improve on it would be the amount of time it take to fix problems.

But other than that....COLOGROUP ROCKS!!!
