ninavain: digitalblackie.com was our original web host/web design company, but it got hacked awhile back due to a security flaw on the shared server it was on...the company swore up and down that it wasn't their fault, but we took the site down anyways. We are pretty much out of hosting now anyways since the market is already oversaturated with webhosts, and the real stars have pretty much cornered the market now.
And no...it's got nothing to do with "not having their shit together". He hasn't ever helped ANYONE except his favorite son...he has a reputation in the family for being the tightest of the tightwads. He's rich because he invested his army booty in real estate long before virtually all of us were born, and built his fortune one run-down shack at a time. Without that initial chunk of cash though, he wouldn't have become the wealthy guy he is today. It takes more than just hard work to succeed...you also have to have assets. Those who simply work hard in life never get anywhere...they're simply slaves to the grind, making someone else rich. I love hard work but even I know that it alone isn't enough.
Vjo: yeah we're going to exercise that the best we can. Also, my wife found the Bayamon office's phone number so I'm going to phone them up in the morning and see if I can have my information transferred to their office. If so, I should be able to land a spot there, and since it's a desk job, I can do it no problem. If it pans out, we'll be making enough money between the two of us to at least convince him to hold on a little longer.
And everyone else...please just understand that I was feeling quite desperate. I am not a scammer, and there is too much to tell so yeah sure, it might sound like I'm making excuses. I'm sorry to even bring it up, but there have been quite a few good suggestions in this thread that I am most certainly going to act on.
So thank you to everyone who helped with their ideas.
I did not consider the idea of a partnership for our new site...didn't figure anyone would be into the idea. I'm not even sure how to go about such a proposition. But I would certainly be open to the idea.
