The Life Of A LittlBUGer

Oh Jewlzk, my old, good and faithful host, where have you gone?  You were so great to me for that entire year I was with you, especially you Roland, and now it seems you have nearly disappeared from the planet.  I usually blame myself mostly as I know, at the time, I was one of your largest clients and it was because of the help of me you were getting an investor.  Everything was looking up and you were definitely growing.

Then, at least from your perspective, I was all of a sudden leaving with no prior warning.  I couldn’t afford the near $1000 a month for my servers anymore and found another hosting company, of similar size, who not only could give me something better and cheaper, but whose support seemed to actually exist.  Yes, that’s right Jewlzk.  Though you were so good to me for so long and one of the best hosts I’ve ever had, support response times diminished over the last few months while I was there and other issues kept cropping up when they shouldn’t.

So I decided to move, right at the same time the new investors were coming to kind of audit you and assess the situation, I’m assuming to see if you did actually have all of the clients and cashflow you said you had.  And I had to screw that all up and just leave without a trace.  I’ve always felt extremely terrible for doing this as I know you’re a good guy Roland and just always wanted to help.  And, being as I’m a host myself, I know it’s hard to find and keep good paying clients.  But sometimes enough is enough and for more professional reasons than personal, I had to move.  I had to do what I had to do in order to survive.  I couldn’t pay that high price anymore (at the time, nearly all of my revenue to pay for my servers came solely from advertisements) and I couldn’t sit and wait for answers like that.

So Jewlzk, I’m sorry I had to leave, I’m sorry I had to screw it all up for you, but you promised you said all was OK anyway.  You said that you understood and that you would continue on and help out others in need including your still current clients.  But it seems you may have lied to me there… I don’t know.  I still trust you and think you’re a good guy Roland, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.  I just want to know, where art thou gone Jewlzk?  Please come back in all of your previous splendor… or at least stop by and say hello like the good old times…  Please?
