One thing, I'd like to point out about a lawsuit. I don't want money. I don't care about the lawyers getting the money. I want that POS CEO to crawl back under the rock he emerged from. I want him to be held accountable for his actions and told he was wrong by a judge.

I don't think he'd care what a judge told him. He holds himself accountable to higher standards: his own, since he's the cult leader. His Brothers and Sisters of Earth will realize the error of their ways and bow before his greatness.

guy why do you sign up for this cheap of hosting? dont you know its just not going to work out?

i own two hosting companies and our lowest per year hosting is about 45 dollars because that is the lowest that we make enough money to provide good support and a good server for.

As for refunds, people who paid by 2checkout have reported receiving refunds to their 2checkout accounts. People who paid by paypal (or other means) are supposed to have a check mailed to them, as I believe that CW had their account restricted.

Yes Shawns Paypal account is restricted. I got tired of waiting today and called paypal to ask them if they were pursuing this any further. Basically, my partial refund cleaned his account out. He has not contacted them to resolve that. Therefore, if he ever tries to use that account again he will have to make good on all the refunds/disputes.

Hence the BS about sending out checks to paypla customers. He has a huge liability at paypal that he probably can not cough up the dough for.

Just my two cents plus.

its becoming rather obvious that his cashflow is not flowing
and that his plans will not be making him any real money despite
the enormous client base.

I have to say, finally now, i am skeptical of getting any money back
or even getting properly hosted by them. despite all the naysayers i was
still hopeful but not really any more. $20 loss..
i don't even care about their hosting anymore...not even for one of my sites.
i just want all my money back, catfish?...capische?

I've checked in #cwprogress in the past few days, definitely losing hope.

O'well. Live and learn. I still have a place I can host the files, now I just have to figure out how to make the DNS resolve to the new location.

In no particular order:

- Because we are greedy

- Because it's cheap

- Because it's fun (where else can you get this many hours of entertainment for $3.90?)


dont you know its just not going to work out?
NO!! Heck, Staples gave us a lot of stuff for FREE, and it worked out

Big truth in THAT! I've found this whole thing to be hysterical!

(Am glad it was you'all's $3.90!)

Well, I am ticket #192 and I still haven't been setup yet. If i'm not back on by Wednesday then I am giving up on the rest of my accounts and switching the rest of them over to DixieSys. I already moved my important sites over, I was kinda hoping Cyberwings would pull though so I could have some account to play around with.

Ticket 847

I'm not really in a hurry so I'm waiting it out. I consider it sort of like high risk investing. My input is pretty small, but the payoff if Shawn gets everything back up and running is big. Since I'm not using it for a business site (and anyone using ANY of the extreme low cost providers for a business site is taking far too much risk), I'm ok with the occasional bobble. But, I had just signed up (so the site wasn't critical) and my email goes someplace else

For those thinking they will get something from some sort of class-action, I suggest you read up on such actions. If there was any money to be had, it will go to A) creditors the B) Lawyers of Class Action, then C) perhaps 1cent on the dollar to class participants.

For those thinking Shawn will run off to the Bahamas or something, consider the fact that this hasn't been huge sums of money. Even with the feeding frenzy at the chat sales, I doubt there would be enough cash involved to risk prison (or to pay for much time living it up). I know I wouldn't risk it for such a paltry amount of cash (relatively speaking)


So at this point I suspect the next waiting game is to see if anyone asking for a paypal refund gets a check, but considering a few sites are back up indicates to me Shawn is at least trying to get something going. So I'm thinking "let it ride" and will see if there is a decent payoff.
