    I agree, I mean if you rip off your father, why shouldn't your father take back what his money has paid for?

    If you notice in the article, chowmenu.com is still up and running, so his dad didn't shut down his business, just took back what was his.

    Sounds to me like his son is a spoiled little brat that doesn't appreciate anything.

    my father wants me to stop this webmaster thing because I am not studying and sit in before this pandora box all the time. I haven't borrowed any $$ at all (except electricity charges:D ) but still he feel I am doing no good for my studies.

    Anyone suspect this to be a publicity trick? Not that I do really, I just hadn't heard of Surch before.

    Wow I am so shocked. /Not. So what did Surch do except for a design? To me it seems he got his dad to pay for everything, someone else to script it and someone else to market it.. erm..

    Well according to mystickcal (the guy that wrote the article and was Surch.com's lead web designer) he did do alot of work on the site himself and generally was overall a good guy besides ripping his dad off. At least thats what I get from the article that he wrote.

    mystickcal did the design? Well then why in heck did he always comment as if he just loved it. If mystickcal was connected in any offical way to Surch he lied to me.
