Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As far as I can tell, Gar, it wouldn't have any effect on them, so it's not a useful outlet for any energy. Sure, I'd give karma their address if it came looking to take a dump on someone's head, but asking for money back -- soundly ignored, I bet. Small claims court? More hassle for us than them.

BBB and general word of mouth will have MORE effect than either of those, I think. At least, better on the effort/reward ratio.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Like I said, I'm backing off. Especially since you took most of the shit on this for us.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd have to agree that we've already gone through enough heartache and frustration due to HostRocket—best to enjoy being free of them rather than asking for more.

The letter to the BBB seems like the best group/official action to take. I would recommend speaking up about the difficulties on an individual basis anytime one of us hears about people searching for ISPs though... warning them of potential difficulties in advance would be doing them a favor.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I tried to vote on the Tim thread issue, but never received a response email.

Could the person collecting the votes let me know if my vote went through?

Thanks!

I have not recieved a single vote since we started back up. I did test it, and my vote went through (although that was yesterday)

I'd miscopied over your email address. The "mail" was missing.

I'll vote again -- my first test was no pref -- this'll be no, so you can tell them apart.
