P-L-E-A-S-E can we stop flaming each other. We may disagree but if that is the case, why not settle the issiu privacy rather than dragging it out over stupidly long periods in public and creating an unfriendly.

The Chad/Thinkhost dispute has been resolved. There is no use for others to try and keep it going. It's over, let's move on.

Thread Re-Closed.
cheers

I am locking this thread with the assumption that both parties (JP and thinkhost) got the necessary information from it. I am sure JP will reopen it if he feels necessary.

I apologize to all TWF users for all of the recent uproars at TWF. It certainly is not my intent to cause problems with anyone (including fair competitors) on purpose, nor is it my hope that there will be problems between other TWF members.

I just feel like saying "Can't we all get along?"

Hope everyone has a great 4th of July (those that celebrate it)!

Justin,

Can't you please just stay away from flaming my company for no aparent reason?

Can an administrator please lock this thread? This is getting annoying

Accusations? Do anyone of you see anywhere in this thread that I've accused ThinkHosting of doing something? I just thought that it would have been better for him to have e-mailed JP, instead of posting here. That's all...

finally? hopefully

Justin,

As much as I am tempted to bring my entire user base here, and as much as they can all benefit from the information within these forums, doing so would mean having to send e-mails to our users -- we have a strict privacy policy that we adhere to, and it is a policy that we follow to the last word, and really go above and beyond in not even e-mailing our users at all unless in an emergency.

Obviously asking our users to post in our defense would tilt the balance in any arguments quite a bit, but thats
not what I am about -- we compete fair and square and asking users to post for us would clearly be an unfair business tactic, at least in my point of view. As our user base continues to expand, more and more users are obviously going to be spreading the word about us, and you obviously will be seeing more posts here on this forum about us -- thats a given for any good web host!

Let me end this once and for all -- at no point in time did I, or any member of my staff, ask our user base to post on this or any other forum -- I have pointed a friend of mine here in the past to one of the posts just for him to tell me his view on things, but thats it. If someone asks about good forums, I tell them, but thats it!

Back off with the accusations -- the only thing you're doing is tearing this forum apart, and its not helping anyone.

Can we move on? I think Chad and I settled our differences last night via ICQ, so lets move on folks, this is IN THE PAST!

Sincerely,

First off, I think that that ThinkHosting should have contacted JP directly through e-mail, and shouldn't have posted it in this forum. God gave you a brain to think. Why not use it?

Second, I can see why Chad deleted the thread. ThinkHosting has been causing a lot of trouble (not just him though), and I'm sure Chad didn't want to see yet another thread about crap and stuff.

Third, I agree. It seems like TWF is inheriting all of ThinkHostings clients. I remember him saying once that he was tempted to e-mail all of his clients to tell them to back him up. Looks like he did

That's all from me...

DoubleOK,

I was not referring to you. Thanks though for your input.

Hey adaml,

Now you are suggesting to JP that Thinkhost be given special treatment(VIP) you must be crazy.

Any reason why he should be treated special?

Chad, i am not hosted by thinkhost and have only spoken to him once through icq. There has been almost no contact between me and thinkhost, yet you cease to realize that you are/were whatever in the wrong
