Immature, unprofessional, crazy, outrageous… whatever you want to call it, but this thread is absolutely astonishing http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055228547
To give you a brief outline of what has happened, someone on Boards.ie asked for a recommendation on where to purchase a domain name. In the ensuing responses, one guy basically said that you should steer clear of LetsHost.ie if you want a respsonsive website. He simply stated that their servers were in the US and that they could be a little sluggish.
It turns out he gets a phone call a few minutes later from LetsHost.ie, suggesting that he removes or edits the comments he made. He rightly thought this was ridiculous and decided against making any ammendments to his comments. Low and behold, the guys in LetsHost took down his website that he had hosted with them.
I can’t believe a hosting company would be this callous, but there you go! Read all about it… http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055228547

Yeah that was ridiculous and a very bad way to deal with your customers.
Complains are meant to be a path to improvement of any service offered, but it proved the other way around in this case.

Its boards.ie that should be shutdown for the amount of rubbish that gets posted on it. every idiot in the land with a grudge posts their opinions on it and they even steal other companies material and allow it to be posted on it.
