Comments on: Webhost forum down http://www.kieranoshea.com/2006/04/04/webhost-forum-down/ A little spot on the web all about me, my work and my life in general! Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:34:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.11 by: Kieran http://www.kieranoshea.com/2006/04/04/webhost-forum-down/#comment-101 Tue, 04 Apr 2006 22:22:02 +0000 http://www.kieranoshea.com/2006/04/04/webhost-forum-down/#comment-101 I know what you mean about the hosting fees, I was down the pub tonight! :D But yeah, closing the forum was very short sighted; one of the people who may have permanently moved when it comes back online is me, and I'm one of their longest standing customers - I was there literally a few days after Gordon went public with the company. His loss is all I can say; I go where there is a friendly face and reliable service and bring my friendly nature and personal support with it. I wish he realised that when he closed the forums :( I know what you mean about the hosting fees, I was down the pub tonight! :D
