SFA is only one of about a dozen Communitech accounts that were TERMINATED with no warning earlier this week. Among others, a friend of mine was one of the victims. (I have access to the CT forums through a few friends - if you doubt me, I can easily produce a list of terminated domains) Not a single one of the account owners was notified first. This backs up the claims of myself and others that Communitech does not deserve ANY business. (I am a disgrunted ex-Communitech member myself)
I'd like to see the post by this idiot threatening SFA as well. He is probably the same one who tried to order the killing of u-p.net
BTW, someone asked how Tach could afford his own dedicated server... Both him and Pedro work for ISPs, they can easily get employee perks. (Something I hope to be able to do in the future... )

From Seanr's post, I'm under the impression that Tachy just bought a new server exclusively by himself and is running it out of his own house or something..... *L*

Sean, how exactly would someone pull off something like that? They would have to have access to communitech servers, and fairly high level access at that. As far as I know there is nobody at solarflare with that kind of power.
I also believe nobody here who would have the accounts of other communitech users deleted just so they can take a shot at scifi-art. If there wass, they would have issues with the Admins (and I am quite sure every user as well) and with the members of sci-fi art. They would not be welcome here or anywhere else for very long, you can be sure of that. Hell I'd be happy to hand the person in question over so you could rip them apart. So now you know how we feel
Tahna - Yes, Tachy told me he had his own server which would be coming online soon.

Daryus, its quite simple, really. All they have to do is tell communitech that SFA is doing something against the terms of service. I doubt SFA intentionally broke the TOS, but it wouldn't be that hard to find something. For example, they were running a chat applet on the server, something against the TOS of most ISPs. Regarding the other sites, I have no idea what sites those are (I don't know of any hosted by them other than SFA). If you could tell me where to find that list, I'd appreciate it.
I can't find Millennium CGI anywhere, so if someone has the URL PLEASE let us know.

Is there any way for me to access that forum? If I could get Scifi-Art back up, then I could find the link to Millennium GI and point you to that threat.

The only way to obtain access to the CT support forums is to have an account there. I'm just borrowing the access info from a few friends of mine who were unfortunate enough to sign up for accounts. *L*
I spoke to MikeW last night over mail (to which I will be replying again later tonight, in case he's wondering)... We're both pretty convinced that whoever it is won't be bothering with coming back or trying anything else.

I know they didn't warn anyone, I was talking to Tach just after he found out. Anyhoo, he asked me to let people here know that many people from Sci-fi Art are contributing to the new server financially. If that cleans up the cost question.

The site is back up now, so I guess this is a non-issue. Anyway, why is Tachy not allowed access to this forum? He told me that he can't even view it, much less post to it (IP ban). I could see not letting him post, but preventing him from even reading the messages about him seems more than a bit lame to me.

Tachy and Mike Wright were temporarily banned because someone with a French IP was causing trouble with the forums. That probably wasn't Tachy, but we didn't want any trouble in any case.

seanr: Perhaps, but did it occur to you (or anyone else, for that matter) that during the current paranoid episode, Tachy may just be refraining from taking actions that would escalate hostilities to no-one's benefit? He is an adult, you know, and reputedly capable of intelligent thought.
I'd like to think that he's exercising good judgement, not that he's run out of options. The benefit of a doubt seems to be in order here.
