I single handedly took them down for animal abuse.

It's the only time I've ratted anyone out in my life (since the age of 12 when i ratted out my neighbor for shooting out the window in my elderly neighbors house).

they may not have been taken down, but that video being found in a world viewable folder certainly cost them some business... anyone remember the whole thing about Ted being halfway to the show and logging into GFY from an airport and turning around to go home after hearing he had a beating coming?

classis, always hated Ted..

It's been great since Carpathia took over. Very reliable. I never had any issues when they were Prohosters either come to think of it.
