Pagan female who lives in Florida with her guy and two cats,
loves Disney, reads fanatically, tinkers in photography and
believes growing up is overrated.
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do
with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

On the night of May 30-31st 2005, ezboard claims they were victims of a malicious attack. Labatt was quoted in various news reports that approximately 9,000 boards were affected. Coincidentally, ezboard was working on a new version of their message board software at that time but have stated that the sudden and abrupt loss of data across the entire network had nothing to do with testing of this software. Message boards across the network were unavailable. A white page full of errors would result when you tried to load forums. Members could not access their information, their boards nor their accounts for the better part of a day.
After OVER THREE WEEKS of no information, misleading announcements and downright lies, they failed to restore data on thousands of boards. Millions of posts were lost spanning upwards of FIVE YEARS.
The real slap in the face? Ezboard CEO Robert Labatt then had the nerve to tell people not only were they refusing to refund money that had been prepaid for service, but they were KEEPING all monies that had NOT EVEN BEEN APPLIED TO SERVICE YET. Yes, you read that right. Money that was being held by ezboard for potential future purchases is NOT being returned. That's called theft and it's wrong.
Please help spread the word. Don't let them get away with treating customer like this. Let's make sure they never have another new customer. Let's make sure together that they learn they can't rob you and get away with it. Let's make sure everyone knows exactly what kind of business they run.
