Why I have control issues.

[OnyxCougar]

Last year, I started a blog-type of personal journal online, and it was housed on my ISP's 10M webspace. Through a Series of Unfortunate Events, I decided it would be prudent to move the site, and my friend said, "Well hey, I have 250M of webspace on my domain, just put it all up here. I'll give you my username and password, and you can keep doing your journal, blah blah." So I did.

Then I created a guild on Dark Age,, and asked him to help me set up the forums and create the keeperofthewatch.maillemaster.com domain name and all that happy crap, which he did. I had just asked him to set up storm's redirect (which he did happily) last week.

Last night is when I noticed there was a problem. The guild folder was gone. I downloaded my journal onto my computer and uploaded some stuff to the journal folder, so I could work on it from work today. I emailed my friend about it.

I got into the server, recreated the guild folder and reuploaded the stuff, and updated the page. I saw my "friend" online so sent him a message, and he did not reply, but logged off. I thought, well, I better download my journal stuff to work, till I can think of a way to change the domain, and work within my ISP's limitations (10Megs per email address).

I tried to login to download my journal to my work and the password to the domain has been changed.
I tried to go to my journal, it's gone.
I tried to go to the guild stuff and it's all gone AGAIN.

I can only assume that it's been deleted. Had I not backed up my journal last night, I would have lost everything. Over a year of personal diary entries. Needless to say I'm not happy.

I guess all I needed to let ya'll know is that the hurricane stuff I had posted for Isabel is no longer going to work, because I need the space to put my other stuff back up. *sigh*

I have the name of the person who I thought was my friend but really tried to screw me over hardcore and nearly succeeded, if anyone wants it, hopefully to do mean and nasty shit to him. PM me.

Uh...do you have any idea *why* this person decided to hose you? Or is it a complete mystery?

I have NO clue. I sent him an email asking wth is going on, and presented the points similar to how they were presented here, but he hasn't answered me. And I don't have hope he will.

Do you know him in real life at all? Real name, address, phone number? What he did was pretty bad but if its his domain there's not much you can do (except maybe haxor of course ).

As for finding out his identity, try running a WHOIS search on his domain. Its not guaranteed to be accurate but it will often turn up a name and phone number. A good one can be found here

Yes, I know him in real life. I have his name address and phone number. Things were just fine two weeks ago. Now it's not. I dunno.
