Whadda ya know...he's right.

S- rolls in lazyboy and minifridge....kicks up feet.

[Nianfong]

whoa. The emperor returns! good to see you buddy.
Felipe's taking a break from moderating right now... I believe brian/.Y./infrastructure is the one to address your concern. I'll see if I can find him for you.

[Tao Joannes]

Gentlemen, it's been an honor playing with you.

"anyone want to explain to me how MY site name "emptflower" & site which I created 8 years ago is now being pimped out like a whore? Is this a joke? I entrusted Felipe to take over this forum that he helped build back in 2000. I put my heart and soul into this fucking site - and built a pretty big community of users & friends and had no problem turning the forum over to more capable hands. I don't know who's in charge now but you could have at least shown some respect and not whore my site name or at least contacted me first. EF was and is first and foremost the name of my design company. Fine if you want to ride on the coattails I built with Felipe and Ken Fish and countless others to name but jesus man, show some respect and come up with yr own goddamn name."

"show some respect "

[SteveBonzak]

WTF is going on? What the hell did I miss??

[Michael]

I'd tell you, but then the thread would be deleted. Hard to believe it hasn't been deleted already.

Mr. DeVere,

The name "Emptyflower Associates Ltd" is a DBA name (Doing Business As.. a pseudonym) for me in paying
the license fees for the emptyflower.net site and keeping the hosting fees straight. It's not a company or an
incorporated entity of any kind.
I do wish you had had the goodness to contact me privately and express your concerns, as is.. all we can do
is change the "Emptyflower Associates Ltd." to some other unrelated pseudonym.. I dunno.. lessee...
We will use Trigram Fight Gear as the name that I use to sign the check for the hosting and such. That should
make you feel fine right?
I appreciate you referring to the hard work I and others here have done as "pimping out like a whore".
As the person who paid the roughly one grand this whole thing cost... I'm glad to know that another person
is willing to refer to a labor of love as an act of prostitution.

There is no more "Emptyflower Associates Ltd.". I will contact IPS, the domain hosting and change everything
to "Trigram Fight Gear". It should all be changed in no more than 7 business days.

I trust I won't get crucified on the forum for somehow "using some company name not connected with EF to try
and take over the forum" or some crap.

Fair enough?

[Aksijaha]

Thank you sir.

[Aksijaha]

DeVere has PMed me concerning this and I have forwarded the message to Felipe.

[ashe]

I still say that someone gave him the wrong info.

that was my thinking as well.

[Lay-Z]

I still say that someone gave him the wrong info.

Maybe someone who was banned in a drunken rampage?
