To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I think we just need a thread that says: ITA IS A GODDESS AND HOSTILEROCKET CAN BITE OUR VIRTUAL ASSES.

Or words to tthat effect.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Not a thread. How about a taking out a banner ad somewhere?

I like the threat of legal action. Heck, I like the actuality of legal action. Dammit, this is precisely the sort of situation where a bunch like Wolfram & Hart would be perfect.

TWOP - I mean all the banners are doing it these days.

A full page ad in Variety would be a bit much, wouldn't it?

Far too much. Plus, the wrong audience.

Plus, er, I was kidding.

Oh, so was I. But the thought was funny. And it's the thought that counts (or something).

I'm not kidding, but I can afford neither lawyers nor ads in Variety.

Oh, I'm still all for "Still Flying". That's why it was Firefly 5 and not Firefly 3.

I'm gonna be contrary, and admit I don't like "Still Flying." Because it's not, and I'm still bitter.

They're still traversing the skies in the UK, and a shiny new rocket is under construction. That's flying in my book.

Firefly 3: Too Damned Pretty to Die?

Ooh, this I like.

As far as legal action goes...eh. Given the amount we're talking, which would be the price of the semi-dedicated server for the brief time we used it, I think it'd be more trouble than it's worth. As far as the data goes - as far as I understand, you can't recover on something that doesn't have any monetary value. Unless you're suggesting they could be made to restore whatever was lost - assuming they can even do so.

Some strongly worded communications with the BBB and any sites that provide info on hosting services would be a better route, I think.
