I just saw revengebucks is back up...phew! The whole thing is so horrible that it makes me want to send you guys extra traffic to make up for it. What a nightmare...I really feel for everyone that has been impacted by this mess.

It amazes me that people in this long ass thread didn't know that you can point your nameserves to a new host and it's basically on the fly now. Your ISP might pull the old shit, so drop your IP and unplug your modem. This has been standard for years. :/

While you may have no character or respect for others, that doesn't give you the right to judge mine. PR stunts are for pussies with time on their hands. I leave more business in my inbox due to time constraints than most competitors have altogether.

That said, while I myself would never expect a similar offer if I was in that situation, I can imagine their horror and sympathize enough with the problem and its implications where yes, I would drop things to help.

I might not be the richest guy in the room but I work hard, sleep well at night.. and have tremendous karma from a lot of good deeds.

P.S. - I advised an RCN customer earlier to wait it out rather than me whore it out - by their own admission, stellar service for years already. If I knew the owner, I would have called already to ask in person and off the boards.

Look.
Fact is they are responsible for the safety their network and in my opinion they are 100% responsible for all the damage caused.
I realy feel for them, but business is bussines.
Fact is all together people lost a shitload money already in the past days.
And it still continuous.
Who's going to compensate that "HUGE" loss of income? I'm curious.

Me thinks we have offended the porn gods... perhaps a group of virgins need to be sacrificed to temper their anger with the online porn world ?

Call me on my cell if we can do anything to help, seriously. Everyone that's a client- sit tight, pray, be patient - go drink heavily - RCN is surely working it systematically and phone/email/icq requests don't help them get this done any quicker. :(

Glad to hear that RCN is making progress.

I am pretty sure that RCN will do everything in it's power to prevent this from happening again solely based on the fact this is bad for business. I know down time sucks but it can happen to every hosting provider (roque ex-employee, failure in the power infrastructure etc etc).

A lot of ISPs suffered from circumstances outside their control: I know Alphared once suffered from a flooded electrical room, Isprime suffered from a large DDOS attack on their DNS nameservers. We, are no expection to the rule, once suffered back in 2004 when a datacenter employee received the news that his contract was not being renewed and decided to switch off a few racks to be fired and receive his government benefit instead of being unemployed. I am just saying, shit happens unfortunately...


You should be able to check this in your agreement with RCN, almost every ISP works with a SLA which covers normal situations of when your service is not working. The question however will be if this is a force majeure (something that happened outside of their control for which they can not be held responsible). If that is the case any financial credit issued by RCN will be gesture of goodwill. Of course RCN will try to identify the cause and will try to held that party responsible for their actions, honestly I don't think they will be able to recover any money that way as that will be a long legal way as well as the fact that that party is probably not in the possession of the requested sum of money.

It is not a big db yet its critical, all I need is 2 minutes of their time to copy my fucking database over and i'm in business again, yet I keep getting ignored. For TWO DAYS NOW. FUCKS SAKE. TWO FUCKING MINUTES RCN.
