    I saw it not long after you put it up and thought it quite petty. Pete has now gone from a public thread with a title including the word 'hacked' whilst all the time his site was offline due to trusting someone from this forum who did have a very good reputation until recently... to now being questioned for honesty?!?

    Seriously haven`t you got anything better to do than feed off of someone else's misfortune.

    Just my tuppence worth.

    Glad to hear it :)

    I agree your right, and as a reseller yourself, not an owner you´d know. ;)

    Yes thats right we bought it from him in 2006
    Hence why we used the original hosting, we have worked with this guy continuous since 2006 and never under any circumstances expected this outcome :eek:

    Again like to point out that Forplex is being fully restored/transferred by Hostgator with 100% operability and functionality

    We are just waiting for the process to complete

    I guess hostgator guys should have done now with the restore process, which is i guess moving a 500mb approx data from one account to another (new) , isnt this done yet?

    @Pete
    Sad to hear your trouble.

    Hopefully, the restore will complete soon and you will be back online...
    After that, don't forget to keep an offsite backup of every thing.

    Good luck. :)

    Glad to see it live again pete. But I would still think about moving it elsewhere do to the fact that these guys took their own sweet time taking care of this issue.

    I had the same problem, he hosted one of my sites as a reseller. I called him and his brother said he is out of the country. He lives in the state of WA.
