What Would You Do?
What would you do if somenoe was shutting something off (an example your server) of yours just to steal your customers? What would you do?

How can somebody from outside, not having access, shut down your server? As InterServ-JB mentioned, I think you need to elaborate a bit more on situation..

Maybe he leases it somewhere and then he places clients onto it? And the company that he is leasing off has threatened to switch off the server

That is an example yea. Threats to switch off the server and will only turn it back on if the clients move to them for an example.

Hey Tim,
Ever hear the saying "what comes around, goes around". Try paying your bills. That should help.0

Well Paradise Designs..I would come up with this elaborate story to rat out the evil COMPANY!!
This would be some written creatively so it would appeal to...oh to High School Sophmores (age 16 or so...)
I would make a story.... ...that... that would be as though to make it look like I (Paradise Designs) was having a casual converation with you (Cobalt Connection) about hosting...then questions about recent negative posts in wht came up... then I (Paradise Designs) would explain the problem I had with XXX company trying to steal my customers...then at the end I would pretend as though I didn't want you to post the conversation, as though to make it look like I did not accuse XXX company if indeed XXX company did not cheat me (Paradise Designs).
***The preceding story should not be taken seriously.... ...I'm not accusing anyone of anything, its just a story ...all names are fake..any relation to anything real life is completely coincidental...***
CC: How's Business
PD: Great

PD: yea
PD: lol
PD: we're starting to sell servers
CC: thats cool..when are you starting up the colo?
PD: and offer deals so you can buy a server with us on a credit

PD: lol
PD: are you trying to insult me and say i'm 16?
CC: haha me too..sucks 4 u
CC: I was iniformed by a reliable source that Paradise Designs was turned off for non-payment. Thanks to Daniel at Effect Online for getting us turned back on

PD: well don't say who they did
PD: don't mention our company
CC: why not? ...
PD: i'm not saying they did it just to steal customers i'm saying from our point of view
PD: God I made a mistake telling you
CC: oh..
PD: I'm saying the way we look at it
CC: i don't understand..why else would they have shut you off?
PD: They didn't accept payment and shut our license off and forced us to send them a money order
PD: and kicked us out of there services
CC: thought they didn't accept payment?
PD: no
PD: they didn't
PD: not via credit car
PD: card
CC: oh..was it maxed or something?
PD: they tried one and one was declined and they didn't bother to try the other
PD: when I talk to you all information is kept private
PD: meaning please keep all info private that is mentioned
CC: why?
PD: was you being serious about investing or doing it just to get this info from me?
PD: honestly
CC: im doing it so i can get this conversation out of you to post on WHT
PD: so you're not going to invest?
CC: no, im going to post everything you just said
PD: and screw our reputation up
PD: ok, see ya.
CC: why would it? ..everything you told me was true
PD: I ask you not to post anything and you're
PD: so therefore, I wish not to talk to you. When we ask info to be kept private we mean it
CC: why do you mean it?
PD: because we don't wish to reveal anything until we settle with powersurge
PD: when things are settled
PD: I will post it
CC: ahh..when will that be done?
PD: very soon
CC: ok, ill keep the convo and post it in 4 days
PD: dude
PD: it will take logner then 4 days
PD: the guy is on vacation
CC: haha..seems like there would be more than one person at powersurge
PD: yes
PD: but the guy I have to deal with about it
CC: prob all on vacation tho
PD: is not there and is on vacation
PD: Please don't post anything that I discuss with you on WHT
PD: We will post it when things are settled and ready to hit the smack
CC: seems like if you were losing 10k from them they could find someone else to help you..
PD: I''m not sure if it is exactly 10k I would have to total it up
PD: so please
PD: as I said
CC: but still..if you think its that much..prob at least 4-5k
PD: you agree not to post anything until we post it?
CC: no
PD: why?
PD: man, why are you trying to screw me over like this?
CC: because everyone should know they are cheats..why would you want other companies to fail?
PD: You're REALLY going to get things worse if you post any thing I said
PD: I know for a fact
PD: and then you will most likely make us llose more than just what we lost now
CC: how?!?
PD: Because
PD: YOu don't know half the story yet
CC: oh, well tell me otherwise ill need to post this tonight..i know people going w/powersurge
PD: I'm making apost about what would people do if someone was doing it
