    Or they are completed tards, I know which scenario I believe.

    As with the numerous other sockies you've had and probably have many more of your credibility is only diminished by this type of thread.
    On the one hand I feel I should follow this through to prove the veracity of my story, on the other I feel it much more appropriate to issue my humble curse.

    May your sh!t come to life and kiss you.

    My company's registered offices are in Mayfair, what does that tell you?

    What happens now is that the backup were deleted too. We have absolutely nothing on our hand. We have been in business for nearly 10 years and this is the first time we experience this issue. It is truly a major shock to us. We truly understand and feel the pain on your side too, but we do have a lot more pain to endure too. There are hundreds of sites on this server too.


    We love you to support us and your new account will be up and ready in the next few hours. As usual, you will need to upload your files/etc


    We will looking to enhance and harden the security of this server. No one wants this disaster to happen, truly


    We will create a new account for you in the next 72 hours. We sincerely apologize for this disaster.

    Thank you

    You were expecting to be believed with your massive list of sockpuppets, history of posting as much fictional bollocks as SY01 on a busy day and habit of trolling?

    On the other hand with all the above if you aren't lying about the situation then you seriously expected sympathy when you've behaved stupidly in business terms?



    Oh entertaining edit, it's no mystery to the regular posters that the Gumbo Robot ID is another in that massive list of sockies, the denial is absurd.

    Well if it's true (not going to credit that with the assumption it is) then you've demonstrated that a poorly bought solution is rarely profitable, you have no-one to blame other than yourself.
    Regarding the first bit of your statement I haven't a clue what you're on about.

    Regarding the second, I have no experience of setting up websites and I've been bitten badly.

    Thanks for your really constructive advice
