5 different people contacted me over ICQ trying to sell me hosting because Webair was down.

Anyone else noticed this?

I have two dedicated servers and have not BUT I can't check my email so who knows

HomerSimpson · 05-28-2007, 01:04 PM

several guys contacted me also on ICQ offering me hosting deals...

uvort · 05-28-2007, 01:07 PM

Same here, I think they are going for the impulse.. doubt it works though.

Honestly I think its pretty stupid. Every company has a problem at one point or another. I've had it happen to me, but I don't need to be a vulture to get business.

Agreed, I can't imagine being desperate enough to start doing that.

Are you with Phat Servers?

Quite a lot of people were pushing them on all Webair threads actually.

But nobody contacted me over ICQ (from you guys).

Agreed, I can live with a small down time every so often. I don't care who you are or what you have. Sooner or later something will happen, as long as it's not a normal thing it's not a biggie to me.

I think some of these guys here act like school children about some of this stuff. Sorry but if their whole empire is going to come crashing down because of a 2 hours down time.. lol well then they should re think their businesses. Specially when it's 2 hours on a Memorial Day which is a low traffic day anyway.

I won't. And that's not the point here.

The point is that only low people, like you, would use such marketing tatics.
