Fun With Web Hosts.

Posted by Mop On August - 16 - 2008

ARG! DOWNTIME!

So yeah we were down for the last couple days. One of the domains I host, Runescapez.com, got DDoSed, so Vexxhost locked my account. They insisted that they will not host DDoSed sites, (Which, I had never heard this policy before, they had it nowhere in their Terms of Service or Acceptable Usage Policy), and wanted me to move all my sites off their host. So of course, that is bullshit, I contacted them, and over the long amount of time it takes to get anything done via their support desk, we came to an agreement that I could continue to host my other sites, if I removed Runescapez.com.

So yeah, now we’re here. Sorry for the downtime.

TIPS For convincing a web host to do what you want, aside from simple support desk tickets.
 • Call them on the phone and either act extremely angry or apologetic (Or pull a bipolar thing to really freak them out).
 • Post on a Web Hosting Forum about how terrible they are - I suggest Webhostingtalk.com - they usually keep an eye out for stuff like this, and they’ll do anything within reason to make a customer happy and keep down bad talk on them.

 

Well, that all sucked. I still support Vexxhost, and as long as your site doesn’t get DDoSed, I still recommend them.

StarCraft 2 / Epic FrontFlip Fail

Posted by Mop On August - 3 - 2008

StarCraft 2… Those of you who don’t know what StarCraft is… LIVE UNDER A ROCK. Here’s a summary of starcraft for you… It’s one of the first raise-a-civilization-and-conquer-the-area games, with thousands of maps, and of course, multiplayer. The story line is, in general, as follows: The humans (Terran) have been getting attacked by alien creatures (Zerg) and aliens (Protoss). Eventually, the Terran & Protoss join forces, can they defeat the onslaught of the zerg? - Spoilier: Click To Reveal -

 

StarCraft

That is Starcraft. It was released in the late 90s, but still remains extremely popular today. In Korea, its one of the most popular.

StarCraft 2

That is Starcraft 2. A major improvement, no?
