Glomar is gone.

[Giancarlo]

Glomar is gone, I have decided that I have no more time for websites or webhosting. I can't really explain more than that, please contact me by email for more information. I am terribly sorry, so Peo can you remove it from the directory.

The truth is I have finals coming up, and then I will be on vacation in Europe for three weeks during July. So my time will not be enough to cover the needs of the website or the webhost.

Thank You.

[programmer2k]

it's not because of yupapa making anti-Giancarlo site is it?

[YUPAPA]

I didn't suggest to make the site...

[stu]

it wasn't that impressive anyway... :eek:

[Giancarlo]

That impressive? Kiss my ---... it was pretty damn impressive against Yupapa's site, and I was close in taking someone to court for making a anti-me site.

That anti-me site better be dropped or I will sue.

The reason is I really don't have time.

haha, good luck, do you not realize how many anti-(insert somthing here) sites there are? there can be nothing done about it, you are not the first one

[WorldWarGeneral]

What was the anti-Giancarlo site? I've never heard of this...

[Neo_Mitochondrian]

It was basically him acting like a jackass at the yupapa forum and then he became really pathetic and apolegetic. Look for the Anti-GINAcarlo site soon. May be at http://www.glomar.net.kg

[sparkfan12]

you may not be able to sue, but you can DEFINETLEY spread the word about this. People won't want to pay yupapa for webhosting since it makes him look like a 10 year old kid and then he loses money.

It wasn't yupapa. The GINAcarlo guy was on there WAY before throwing "------" around like the letter a.

yupapa didn't do it... so how does it make yupapa look like a 10 year old? if anything it makes giancarlo look like a 10 year old because he went to yupapa's forum causing problems...

[keith]

neo_mitochondrian is such a bad boy wannabe. i can picture him slinging insults at someone he's never seen or met in front of his computer, acting all bad----, hitting refresh 24/7 as not to miss a single message. what a geek.

[keith]

it does make yupapa look like a little kid, because he obviously saw such a blatantly derogatory thread on his own forums, and didn't nuke the sucker. he even participated in it [and even linked to it from here]!

that's why it makes yupapa look so immature.

[Edited by keith on 05-21-2001 at 10:56 PM]

[sparkfan12]

the fact that yupapa apparenley supports this makes him look immature. If a company, web hosting or not, wanted to look professional, they would end something like this immediatley instead of letting it continue.

This is responsible of you. It may be better to just put it on hold. No doubt you will have more time after finals, and vacation.

In regard to all the childish insults, etc. that you have been recieving, and the anti glomar site: I think this is something you may have to endure as a politician, though there would be some pro you stuff too.

Well, hello folks, they are teenagers! Of course they are going to be immature... :) (and before anyone gets bent out of shape, just think back to when you were their age)I haven't met many teens who act like 40 year olds...But then again I have met MANY 40 year olds who act like kids! :)

[Bruce]

All of us ain't that immature.

I'm 15 years old, I just act like someone at that age should

i just thought i'd add that this guy claimed to be more reliable than yupapa... look who closed first...

If there were two free web host companies, and they both offered everything you wanted,(we can assume they are both reliable and have revenue) but one web host was controlled by 13-15 year olds and the other host was run by adults over 25, who would you go with and why? Would it make a difference to you?

[MrsGiggles]

Three things 16-year olds shouldn't talk about: sex, politics, and the economy. Chances are these teenagers are just sprouting off third-generation quotes they ripped off from Free Republic/The Penthouse Letters/et cetera.

Bye bye Giancarlo and Yupapa. Your train wreck comedy hour will be missed. Maybe.

The older people because they're old enough to have a decent job and afford the server. The only place a 15 year old can work is McDonalds on the weekends and that wouldn't be a lot to maintain a server.

[YUPAPA]

Correct!
That is why I can't afford a server!
I am just a reseller... But it is good to be a reseller because I don't even have to take care of the server, connection and stuff...

[sparkfan12]

yeah but you're still paying them money for your service, and since you seem like a young kid, I doubt you can afford this much longer, and thats why no one would go with a service run by a kid because there's a bigger chance of him being unable to afford it

[YUPAPA]

My hosting services can last long at least an year, cuz I chose "Annually" for my contract length, unless someone hosting an Adult site, mp3 or warez site and leads to my account has to be shut down.

Not to mention:

(a) Older people know how to write legible emails instead of "Ur PrObLeMz WiLl Be SoLvEZ!!!",
(b) Older people tend to be more patient when giving support. They don't make comments about your brain or sexuality. Either that or they don't even bother with support. Either way they don't try your patience compared to 13 year old webmasters who think they know everything and more than you,
(c) Older people are greedy and free from idealistic notions. They don't give you every possible goodies in a webpackage you want because "Da InTeRnEt MuZz B FrEeZ!!!" and then die on you before you can even back up your files,
(d) Older people running FWPs don't come to this board and try to please the select minority here by offering PHP, CGI, MySQL, ASP, SSI, whatever hoping to be new F2S. They aren't 16-year old know-all Republicans/Democrats, and they don't come here bopping around like pink bunnies high on crack. Older people know that cheap people wanting unlimited space and full scripting freedom have no money, are all freeloaders, and are good only for bringing the FWP down with their abuse, warez, and bad scripts.

I have to disagree on that my son is 17 now but he has been working since 15 as hibachi chef at a steak house and he only works friday and saturday and makes over $200.00 in those 2 days so he could afford a server if he wanted too.

That has to be the most offensive comment I've ever heard. Just because we're not all old doesn't mean we can't write coherent sentences and make informed statements about politics and government. I'm 15 and quite knowledgeable about economics and government and I don't appreciate YOU trying to tell me I'm an idiot and irresponsible just because you're "older" Just how old are you? Why don't you go crawl back under the rock you slithered out from under...

And believe me, there are plenty of warez/abusers on free and paid hosts. Most of them are probably 20 year old perverts. So don't go blameing FWP shutdowns on young people.

Contrary to what "older", "wiser" and more "mature" mrs.giggles would have people beleive, not everyone under the age of 18 is a drug addict and a loser. And of course, acording to mrs.giggles, you have to have to sit around all day and yell at the Young and the Restless while you have someone rub your corns before you can have a repsectable opinion about anything important.

Tell me Mrs.Giggles, were you picked on in school, and now you have a personal vendetta against all young people?

[meow]

LOL! I agree. I belive that very few that can't express themselves properly at 15 will learn later. Teenagers also tend to live at home, so they don't need as high income to survive. And furthermore I rather get f*cked by an idealistic 15 years old than by a 50 years old running some scam business. Perhaps I should add that I'm very old myself.

Have you noticed how many new members we have all of a sudden? And all of them make very heated comments on this subject. Oh what a mystery. :rolleyes:

I know I'm taking it out of context but after you 'say no to kiddy porn' campaigning I am SHOCKED ;)

you are getting old passed the 500 posts NLC here you go :)

[meow]

Well, when I was young I liked them mature, and now...ahem. :p
And I'm sure Peo will give me a more dignified and unique suffix when I reach the big M. So there. :D

[lucifer]

I think it's time you were put up for the post of FWS official cat :cool:

[meow]

:mad: Damn' you! I was planning to put that in my sig for a joke sometime! Given the circumstances I have to forgive you though. :rolleyes: :D

[LeX]

Let's put it this way: most teenagers won't likely have a reliable host, because most teens don't have the money to maintain it. Those who actually have something like dedicated servers are probably paying through Daddy's credit card account anyways. Maybe you can call that "reliable"?

From another point of view: I wouldn't trust a host managed by a 12 yr. old, but I would take the chance with a 14~15 yr. old's host, whether they're hosting off their buddy's servers, dedicated/virtual servers, or their own. Like, maybe the guy knows what he's doing at the age of 15, but a 12 year old probably don't even know how to register a domain.

One thing's for sure: most 15 year olds at this forum are quite mature and know what they're doing, they can think, they can do on their own, they're not stupid, and they're most definitely not high on crack. And I don't think anybody works at McDonald's. We'll see - let's take a little survey.

Those who work at McDonald's please raise your heads. ;)

[meow]

I do. I'm their official McKitten. :D

[lucifer]

That is tragic :( ;)

[meow]

I can get you a good price on our McMice meal...

[sparkfan12]

I seriously do work at McDonalds :D

and trust me, their pay isn't good enough to allow a 15 year old to run a server ;)

The only thing I have to contribute to this thread is a quote from the great William Blake:

"To generalize is to be an idiot."

[Giancarlo]

I think this is something you may have to endure as a politician, though there would be some pro you stuff too.

I have had six anti-me sites made in the past two years... so I have taken a lot. The first time I got extremely angry, the second I didn't care, and this time the six, I don't care. Do whatever you want to me. I removed my site because I am finished with, I don't want this crap anymore when I have enormous amounts of stress already placed on me. That reason isn't much more than that.

I have grown tolerant and resistant to insults, so give me your best shot.

[meow]

Take it easy Giancarlo...You are just a kid and I get the impression that the stress you talk about you put on yourself. There is no need, you know. Slow down. :)

[Giancarlo]

If I slow down I will fail finals and several projects I have due in two weeks...

[meow]

That was my point. Drop some of your projects. Not taking things so seriously would also be a good idea. ;)

[MrsGiggles]

then why waste so much time worrying about everything else

being here is a great way to avoid revising ;)

[Giancarlo]

This year is very important to me and probably could make a significant impact on my political or judicial career. Can't decide which I will do yet.

[meow]

Giancarlo, you are, what was it, 14?. You don't have an carrier. You don't even have an education yet. Please understand that I say this because I care, not because I want to be mean. It's pretty obvious that you have got into a way of thinking that harms you. It's plenty of time for those things later. Keep your dreams but give it a rest. Play a little with the dog. ;)

[Giancarlo]

Listen to me you little prick, I am 16 turning 17 on June 25. I am focusing towards Politics or Law in my future career, I am very well planning for this because I only have a year of High School left. GET YOUR DAMN FACTS STRAIGHT!

[AlabamaMan]

Calm down dude, it was just an advice. I was a smart --- in high school too, for some reason I loved being different from the other kids. One day this girl (I had a huge crush on her) came up to me and ask me to P*** off because she didnt like smart asses. So I started acting like kids my age. Do you get the story? I love people who pursue their dreams, but you are still young. Give it a rest, have fun.

Oh yea, one more thing. John McCain is leaving his party for the Demos. Can somebody say "Yay!"

[stu]

whoa.. relax man.... don't get all hyped up..

focus on your exams... much more important..

[Giancarlo]

I don't give a crap what you say because you are WRONG! You don't have any clue what-so-ever.

The Democrats like to ---- with this nation and all of you, you are so misguided and misled into the gates of economic and political upheaval and chaos.

[AlabamaMan]

Sorry, that was alcohol talking. Im just mad because you opened your webhosting for a month and then abandoned it.

[meow]

Oh, excuse me for trying. :rolleyes:
That doesn't hurt me and only makes you feel worse. I'm trying to help you, can't you see that? You have two choices, either you believe me or not. Take a break or break. You are on good way and I think that's tragic. Now you can start calling me names again in the articulate way of a career politician or lawyer.

[Toefur]

Giancarlo... lol, I just gotta say... you really need to take yourself less seriously, and stop trying to sound like your some high place extra important person... lol,

I mean like, This year is very important to me and probably could make a significant impact on my political or judicial career.

Dude... you're 16... get over...yourself.

Hi, Hime-chan speaking!

I've been searching the forums for things that interest me for a while, and now I stumbled upon this thread ... I couldn't resist, I have to make a post.

I think I know how you feel. I'm roughly your age, and I'll finish my school education next year or the year after that.

But let me tell you something: don't set your goals too high. I don't know how that is for you, but I went through a few years I would've rather missed out on because I did take myself too seriously then.

I changed school, and suddenly I wasn't best of the class anymore - I was worst. I tried to work myself up again, which meant studying several hours after school and one or two before, and through my lunch breaks. I don't know if you're taking it to that extreme, but to make a long story short, I went through an self-mutilating phase and am now permanently stricken with a wide array of allergic asthma.

Don't think about carreer yet - think about your up-coming finals and what you want to be good in. Think about the large decisions coming directly up and make them, organize your priorities (which you've obviously already been doing since you're closing down your hosting service). If you feel the need to get free time from studying, cut yourself off from the internet and leave it so that you can only access the net from the public.

If I want to study seriously, I take a weekend trip to the sea, where I can sit at the beach, read my books and not be distracted by anything. I hope this helped? I'm afraid it's totally off topic, but I really just want to help.

I think you shouldn't be so aggressive towards people - I don't think anyone means any ill will. Of course people know the finals year is important, but talking about career really isn't the right thing if you still have to worry about your exams in the first place.

Hime-chan

:) :o :) :o :)

[lucifer]

Giancarlo,

Take it easy - all this hurling abuse at people might get you banned and having you on the forum adds something to it.

Don't take it all so seriously

enjoy being young

and avoid politics if you don't like people saying you're talking crap ;)

[bigperm]

The only thing I have to contribute to this thread is a quote from the great William Blake:

"To generalize is to be an idiot."

I always thought that was Voltaire...

Also, Giancarlo... Did you actually host anybody's website? Did Glomar have any customers?

[Zero]

The quote I remember most from Voltaire is, "If God did not exist, it would be neccessary for man to create him." It's from Letters, if I remember correctly.
I remember Giancarlo talking about having an ulcer already; that's really sad. (The only person I've ever known that has had an ulcer at his age had it from a bacterial infection. He basically has no immune system to speak of.) He really needs to calm down. Maybe he should go see his Guidance Counselor or something. ;) He may also have multiple personalities or split-personality. Considering he said he was about to sue me over the anti-giancarlo site, and then said he never cared at all. I really wasn't planning on dedicating a whole site to him, it would boost his ego far too much. I was actually thinking about setting up a forum at that domain. Were people could voice their opinions about whoever had been pissing them off so it didn't clog up messageboards like this one and Yupapa.

[grex]

I am so glad that I am just a simple person. :)

[Giancarlo]

You know what? I never seen so much bull---- in my life... this is sad and pathetic. All I said I was going to close down the site after getting 12 Requests for hosting, it isn't much harder to comprehend then that... what is so difficult about that? I don't have the time or the patience to run a host, and am ----ING TIRED OF THIS ---- I AM RECEIVING! I have cut myself of from the internet for the past three days and utilized that time wisely. Bigperm is an -------, who doesn't have a clue on what he saying. Good Day, and wish you the best luck.

[Giancarlo]

And Zero, you idiot, I didn't mean that seriously, what a bunch of crack smokers, stupid idiots that should be taught a lesson.

[Giancarlo]

And I make a great dictator, since I probably would of have all of you arrested by now.

[bigperm]

So are we back to the 'mean' Giancarlo... Soon to turn again into the 'remorseful' Giancarlo? Who cares? Good Dictator? Whatever... You'd get laughed out of office.

[Giancarlo]

I am always mean, which is the single persona of myself.

[hime-chan]

Come on, everyone!

Especially you, Giancarlo. Try to do yourself a favor and not ridicule the matter further. Especially since the topic has long since used up every entertainment value or serious undertones it may have had.

The problem is, that you're biting back at everyone who makes a comment at you. That makes you look like the immature child you try very hard not to be.

Use the chance being online gives you - don't hit the space key or whatever your means of activating the "submit reply" button is. If I offended you now, I'm seriously sorry, since I hate offending people.

Just remember that you were the one who started the impolite tone, so be prepared to either close it again or keep silent when it comes back.

"You give me all kind of nourishment, like miso soup with seeweed!"

[WorldWarGeneral]

I say this thread should be closed. It isn't productive and isn't helping anyone. Only about the first and maybe the second pages of this 5 page thread have anything to do with the topic - "Glomar Webhosting is Gone" The fact that Glomar webhosting has closed has been well established, and therefore, further posts in this thread aren't needed. The discussion on whether or not Giancarlo is taking himself too seriously, whether or not he's working to hard, whether of not he's taking on too much responsibility, etc. is stupid. It's no one's business but his own. How he wants to run his personal life is his decision.

[LeX]

Sure, it's his own life, but I guess some people here were pissed off when he said he's closing down after he went around claiming his host was "99.9% up" and how his was waaaaaay better than that "immature" Yupapa's host, and others were angry at his comments.

Yep, Peo.. or whomever comes first.... do lock/throw this thread!

[Giancarlo]

I just wanted to make it clear I am not shutting my site because of Yupapa. My site may have said 99.9% and while it was up that was completely fulfilled but now I realized that it requires more than a hour a day. Agreed, I control my own life and tried to give a decent explanation why I would want to close Glomar.net, not only is the hosting gone but the site is gone aswell.

Thank You. Now Peo, I am also requesting that this thread be closed aswell.

[Zero]

That's nice... one less person ranting about politics on the net. I'm sure all 12 of his users are very disappointed.;)
