I appreciate the posts from you guys. Since we're half an hour away from decision time, I'm just going to say the following:
The concern for my well being is sweet. I actually think that, had you moved to a FG dedicated server, my stress level would've dropped drastically. One of the biggest frustrations in this scenario has been being the monkey in the middle. With the proposed plan, that wouldn't have been an issue.
Should you decide to go elsewhere, I would understand. However, I would urge you not to go with a virtual server. The concept makes me very uneasy and I don't think it will improve your current situation.
Also, the company that Rob is suggesting sounds great. It's clearly a very sweet deal and he has had good experiences with them in the past. But I would still recommend that you have some serious talks with them about limitations on the account and investigate them carefully. I think I'm just a naturally suspicious person because when I see someone offering something for half or one-third of what everyone else is charging? Warning bells go off.
So that's my two cents.
Yes to $$ for fangeek and IH for our time there.
Yes to humungous thank yous in whatever form to Kristen and Monique (pink things that are shiny and/or fluffy are always good).
Yes to Rob's suggestion for hosting.
The one major concern I have with Steve's offer is the required year committment. It seems like it has the potential to make many lives on all sides of this unpleasant if things don't work out, for whatever reason.
Rob's suggestion does sound like it's worth looking into. I lack knowledge in that area, so I'm happy to leave the final decision up to others.
Also of the opinion that Kristen shouldn't refund us. We've been way more of a PITA than $20/month can cover. You've more than earned it.
Okay, as a side note?
I'm dying to know why Kristen doesn't have time to read her torso. Why not? What's written there? Do you have to use a mirror, and if so, does the writing appear backwards?
This is so embarassing. It's from something I saw on TV. But I'll be damned if I can remember what show.
Okay, it's almost noon and I'm starving. I'm going to Taco Bell.
I'll email Steven when I get back and let him know you guys aren't interested so we're passing on the offer.
