The other 3 you can find yourself. Like I said, I’m not here to show you how to use the search engine on boards.ie.

And obviously neither can you. There have been a total of 3 threads on boards.ie about switchmedia - one was deleted (because of the legal threat).

The one you so lovingly put up - is boards.ie response to the legal threat. And the other is the only one returned when you search for switchmedia on boards.ie

So unless my math is wrong that makes 2 (formerly 3)

Next time, dont be so sarky

The other 3 you can find yourself. Like I said, I’m not here to show you how to use the search engine on boards.ie.

And what about section 10.1 of their terms of service, which seems to give them the right to levy a fee on any transfers out…?

If their services are as good as they say they are, then they should have no reason to be concerned.

OK assume I am blind - what other threads from boards have you posted above?

Check the previous links I posted from boards.ie. I’m not going to repeat myself.

Wow a single thread. Stunning evidence of this “smear campaign” - considering

a) Switchmedia made a single reply
b) Michele made several posts - which upon reading them, are not very company criticial. In fact some of them advise people to read the fine print carefully. How dare he warn people to do that - such a complete and utter disregard for customers. Lets publicly flog him for that one.
c) In fact switchmedia in their single post, invite constructive criticisms - so if Michele posts a criticism, which shock, horror and gasp are constructive/general inquiries - why do you slate him for it?

It’s really professional to publicly slate your competition.

Well as the bard would say

Give me the occular proof.

“If you can’t run a successful company without resorting to tactics that include begging for business on web forums and slating other companies… well, good luck to you. Personally, I wouldn’t touch your company with a 10 foot hosting pole because your professional integrity is a joke.”

Wow, such harshness Ken. I wonder in a past life were you somehow screwed over? Been following this for a while, and as a regular boards user I have never seen Michele “beg” for business. Anytime he has posted it has either been sound advice on hosting, etc or to usually to correct some erroneous point.

As for slating other companies - well if pointing out their foibles to people who would not know any better (i.e. me) well then personally I applaud him for doing so, and preventing people for potentially making a mistake with their hosting/domain requirements.

And before the accusations of being Michele’s bitch come flying through - I have accounts with both him and other Irish hosting companies.

I am not trying to be pedantic, I was trying to clarify what you were accusing me of - now I know, not publishing a comment.

Ken, I have never, ever refused to publish a comment - no matter how negative about me. I have never deleted a comment.

The only comments I do not publish are spam comments.

You can see for yourself, your comments are not moderated, they autopublish. If I wanted to edit or delete any comment after it has published, it would be obvious.

This is far from being an “almighty blog” but I’m not too pushed about your leaving. I might be a bit more sympathetic if you weren’t lobbing accusations around while insisting on being anonymous.

I sent through a post earlier. There were no profanities at all. It wasn’t published. If it wasn’t lost in the ether, then you didn’t publish it. I’ve made my point since so I don’t feel any need to re-post (re-comment? What should I say here?)

I’ll leave you to it, Tom. Obviously there’s no room for error on this almighty blog and I’m a little intimidated to be quite honest.

Sent a post through earlier, wasn’t vetted, simple as. Let’s just assume it got lost in the ether, shall we?

Ken, if by post, you mean comment and if by vetted you mean published your sentence reads:

Sent a post comment through earlier, wasn’t vetted published, simple as. Let’s just assume it got lost in the ether, shall we?

Let’s not assume it got lost in the ether. I publish all comments on this site (except spam and comments containing certain profanities - those are auto-deleted without my even seeing them).

Assuming your comment didn’t contain those profanities, please re-post (if it did, re-post without the profanities).

Must say tho Blacknight you do seem to do a lot of smearing. Get on with your business and stop trying to get publicity for yourself and your company by getty petty on forums.

Michele, there have been several attacks on Switchmedia on boards.ie in recent weeks since they started offering .ie domains cheaper than the rest of the competition. Coincidence? I think not. But at least it’s some comfort to know that you’ve got the consumers’ best interests at heart, eh?

Are you seriously trying to convince people that you, as the MD of a hosting company, think it’s appropriate to run around whoring your company on web forums the country over and slating and ‘pointing out inconsistencies of’ competing companies? Jesus. That’s very professional indeed. No wonder the hosting forum on boards was closed down. If you can’t run a successful company without resorting to tactics that include begging for business on web forums and slating other companies… well, good luck to you. Personally, I wouldn’t touch your company with a 10 foot hosting pole because your professional integrity is a joke.
