I've thought of a half dozen or so additional things since I posted.

He threw that 120K number around alot. Every one of the board menbers was in the room at our breakfast meeting in Key West (which Alec paid for :rolleyes) when he said that the bandwith cost was $3800 per month. Less than $150 per month is a more realistic number.....and the bill goes to someone else. I'll never forget the day when Nick found the 30 thousand dollar classifieds software for $499. That was classic!!!

I still just can't believe how phucking stupid we all were.

Of course. We were all there in KW when we were all told that (along with the pending proper set-up of a legitimate LLC in which we would all be stakeholders).

Then after repeated requests by me that necessary changes be made - and being blown off for months - it's all became quite apparent when we learned that the guy responsible for making it all happen was stiffed $.

I know now why he stopped responding.

Then in a desperate attempt to make something of nothing, he asks me if I can see what I can do with the CMS system....which is a basic plug-in to vBulletin which makes a cute little homepage that contains the ability to add some simple widgets.

Later he blamed me for "stalling" the 2.0 project.

Nice.

LOL. Let's not forget the "two refrigerator-sized servers" which he personally purchased and had "placed on either coast for redundancy."

Too bad they're really just leased managed servers from rackspace and are in Texas.

What can I say? Every man has his breaking point. This latest charade was the final straw. I despise being lied to.

Hope all's well with you, Greg. Remember when you brought down that brand new, shiny 35OL to St. Pete and we ran her all day. My buddy Ben and I were just talking about that weekend a couple days ago....from when we woke up poolside at the Vinoy and the security guard was harassing us? We said we're with the guy with the boat at the docks. He was like, "oh okay, need a ride?"
Baja Daze....good times. Remember the Baja-Scarab wars?

I feel kinda special, I got the talk on how he was actually involved in SO many businesses. That story was he was a business consultant that helped businesses get to the next level. As such he was always having opportunities thrust at him to get involved in different industries. He, of course, could not resist the challenge and it allowed him to help out some of his "good friends" and make a few bucks "here and there".

Cheers.

Yeah, both of them....
