Well I'm done.
 

Server wiped clean, everything gone. Fuck internets. Retired. Good bye. That is all.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

:anon .....


.

You out the game?

goodnight sweet prince....




.

Peace out Jew. Best of luck to you.

Have a fun summer, see you when it snows :)

Don 't know that I have the energy to start from square one again. Had a project i was about to start, might go ahead with it, but I dunno. I'm thinking game over.

If you're serious, bye now and enjoy the summer!

what happened to the server?

I'm in the same frame of mind right now. Halfway through a project here and thinking I might just shitcan the whole works and move on. Adult is collapsing into a black hole, and not sure I wanna be around it much longer. No one is 'eager & excited' anymore. Only defensiveness, bitterness, and frustration are left.

But I'm still undecided.

thanks for info

Take care, Jewz. Will miss you about.

damn man that's lame :(

Holy shit. What happened? If you want to vent on ICQ just hit me up.

Everything on one server, no backup whatsoever?
You know they can recover hard drives. Take it in.

you don't seem too angry about it!

Just like that? No "I'd like to thank such and such"

"if it werent for you I would be dead" kind thing...

Anyway good luck dude.

dont you have a backup?

Don't your host have a backup?

who wiped it

It sounds like you just need some inspiration, some motivation. Good luck!

he wiped it. he's done.

Why not let them run on auto pilot and make some money?

It's all my own damn fault for keeping shitty backups, and getting abehind on a payment. Amerinoc switched to their new payment ticket system, I kept sending in my payments directly, which apparently means they weren't tracked in the system. I always pay by eCheck which added and extra 6-8 days for payment to clear. Used to get a lot of leeway with Phatservers and hosted with them for a long time. If I got behind a month, I just doubled up the next month and it was never problem. Now you get automatically wiped after 45 days overdue by the system with no human review. Combine my month behind, with the pyment not tracked by the system and my eCheck setting me back, I surpassed their threshhold and everything got shitcanned. Apparently there's some old backups kicking around, not sure I even care at this point, but I'll see what's left over.

I got a solid $80k/year job right now doing track inspection for CN. I only planned on working til the end of summer, but with this turn I think I might just bite the bullet and kiss the net goodbye and run with it.

I dunno. Pretty much put the nail int he coffin of my internet career though. I haven't even started totaling the total value of what I've lost.

If anyone followed what I was saying about my poor money management at the end of last year, they'd know I made a lot of money in a short period doing some mainstream stuff, and spent it all very poorly on investments which were left half finished and unusable until they were finished. Pretty sure all that is gone, along with a lot of other stuff. I have rough backups kicking around for a lot of stuff, but it will take a lot of time to put it all back together and get things back in order. Don't know if I care to do it.

Poor management on my part sunk the ship.

Shitty deal, Cat. I had no idea Amerinoc was doing wipes like that. :( Once a year or so I miss a payment because my card expires or I move or whatnot, but they contact me and it's all cool. Looks like I need to be a bit more diligent in future. Scary stuff :( You should definitely chase down those old backups. You'll kick yourself if you don't.

I was given lot of slack by Phatservers for years. I got comfy with being a month behind, never bothered me, and never seemed to bother anyone there if I was a little behind as I always paid up. I'd like to lay all the blame on their stupid new system, but I can't. It's on me. Some forewarning o the system change and policy changes however would have been nice.

Before this gets out of hand...there is waaaay more to the story then "Amerinoc doing wipes" Nothing has changed here, Just a client 4 MONTHS behind on his bill and his server getting yanked. We stil have backup and offered them if he paid up.

you need beer and patriotic spirit

probably just beer

hey cat get a break and start from the scratch, you can make the money very soon if you knew wat you was doing. you have nine lives, forgot the past one and lets live the rest! :) and fuck :)

just take some vacations man... do something else...

that's why i have all my shit in a few dif baskets now. no one host, no one registrar, one one site, no one niche. had a similar - but not the same - experience a few years ago that taught me a hard but valuable lesson.

You can always come here just for shits and giggles.

I'm not denying being behind. But it's nothing new either. I've been behind before, I never got anything wiped on me in the past. I always paid up and there ws never any issues in the past. I sent in one payment a couple week back, which ccording to the email I received today my server was terminated at the time of already. Was never warned or told anything. I told you I'd get the next payment out and tie u the amount owing at that time. the server still got wiped, Amerinoc knew my server was already toast, and waited for me to pay up the other 2 months to notify me of the fact. I'm paid up in full as of right now according to the system. I have nothing to show for it.

I take full responsibility for what happened, but I still feel fucked knowing that you guys knew my server was done when I sent the first half of the payment in. After 2 years of hosting, you couldn't wait 2 weeks for me to pay off the total owing after I had already sent in half the amount owing. Wait until the payments are all clear and cool, then tell me everything is gone aside from some old backups. No one told me anything about the payments needing to go through the ticket system until the latest email I received. I can see why you needed to be quiet about my shit being gone. You and I both know I wouldn't have sent the second half of the payment in had you told me you already cleared my shit back at the first payment.

Either way, to clear the air. I still think you guys are one of the best hosts out there. Great support, and fair prices. Just feeling a little dinked right now. Guess we'll see what comes out of the backups.

Is eatmyshorts.com for sale?

I hope you and he can come to terms and continue spreading smut around the globe.

4 months is a long time.

good luck on your next move

It was 3 months I owed for. One of which was covered a couple weeks ago. No situation I haven't been in with Phatservers in the past. I always paid up in full, things never went wrong in the past. I got comfortable with it, and they choose to tighten up their ship. That's all, entirely fair on their part. I lay no blame on Amerinoc or Phatservers. Would have been nice to get a little more notice of the fact that they were tightening up on things, but hey, if I never got behind I never would have hd to deal with it.

I'm getting a huge deja vu feeling. Didn't this happen to another fellow in the past year or so? Sorry, but four months is quite a while to be behind. It looks like they still have your backups for you, at least.

Like I said, i don't really care at this point. Everything is squared up now. I'll see what's left of my backups. But most of what I have that was actually turning a decent income were newer projects built since around the time of the old backups. If there's anything leftover that seems good for anything, I'll probably just liquidate whatever is leftover and call it quits.

Why are your backups so old? My host does daily backups. If I find out they are not doing them it will be their ass.

The backups are from February, which will save some of my older stuff, and I'm not sure how much of it yet. There's only a handful of projects I really want to see saved here, and most of the heavy work went into them starting January/February, so I dunno what will be recovered. I never chose to pay extra for backups. Again, my own fault.

It'll take a little while to sink in, but I'm just gonna get comfy and settle into my new life as a track inspector. I think it'll be best for me in the long run anyways. Now I'm gonna go drink some beers and have steak with my crew, forget about this shit.

Good luck everyone. Keep on top of your backups, manage your business like a business. Don't wind up down the same road I did. At least I'm not bankrupt. :1orglaugh

Someone should really write an internet story. there is so many ups and downs. dramas and lamas it is not even funny.

METAMAN we should call it.

Good fucking riddance.

I stopped selling porn a while ago. The work in vs. the money coming back out was getting more and more lopsided for me. I never thought my writing would make more for me than conversions.

Are you done with adult, or internet in general?

Sorry to hear that Angry ..what ever you decide to do I hope it all works out for you in the end

:thumbsup

Knew there was more to it, no chance a wipe would happen over a 45 days over late payment! Been with Phatservers for 4 or 5 years now and never any problems like this!
