Welcome! :D
This all started with a bad review I put on my personal website after being ripped off by an underaged girl pretending to run a hosting "company". Waaay back on October 5, 2005, I said:
Timeline: I signed up my Erasure site and my fanlisting collective on chatiaya early this year. In May I ran out of space on the Erasure site, so I emailed asking if I could upgrade my plan. No answer. Asked again, no answer. I moved that site to a more competent host where I've had the best service EVER ever since.
I kept my fanlistings at chatiaya, plus I registered Dan's domain there around this time because it was cheap as hell and... well... I'm cheap. Dan noticed his site was down mid September. It happened sometimes, so I told his to wait it out. A few days later I found out it hadn't just been down, it was suspended and so was stargarden and chatiaya. I'm an optimist, so I decided to wait until October, maybe whoever's in charge is just having issues this month. Soooo... October 1, they're still gone. I write to chatiaya's owner's ISP email address asking if our sites will ever come back, and, of course, no answer. Today, I wrote again, saying the lack of answer didn't suprise me at all. I thanked her for teaching me a valuable lesson [to stay away from incompetent resellers]. Holy poo, I just got a reply! There is an actual person on the other end, at last!
She said hosting was too costly, so she just canceled. Without telling ANYONE or giving anyone the chance to back up their shit and move to a REAL host. She said she didn't send out an email when the sites went down because most people never get her email anyway. Niiiice. She blamed her not replying to my other emails on her host not always working. Funny how her host would affect her ISP address that I'd been writing to.
Anyway, I am LIVID right now over this. It's one thing to be a kid who doesn't know what they're doing. This is a woman in college [so she says] who could have warned us, but decided not to. So what if people didn't get some of your previous emails? That excuse is bullshit. Anyone with any morals at all would have sent a mass email and not cared if it bounced at some addresses.
So, right now, she's not "running" any hosting "companies", as far as I know. But if she ever does in the future, and you find this entry while researching her as a potential host, please take my advice and go somewhere else.
In the two years after posting that entry, I received just a handful of hits directly to that entry, which were actually people using Google to try to find a reason why Chatiaya disapeared. I got one comment from someone thanking me for the information, because she'd lost her site because of Elyse, too. The comment was lost somewhere along the way, but it can be seen on archive.org's October '05 snapshot of my old page.
On March 3 2008, I got this completely random comment on a recent entry I'd written about having a bad day that turned good after seeing an older couple in love:
Instead of saying "this girl sucks", you should have said "this host sucks". Don't insult the individual; insult the company. When you go into a retail store (e.g., Macy's or Target) and you have a negative experience with the store, you blast the name of the store. You don't seek out the owner's name and then blast the owner's name.
At the time my daughter formed this company, she was only 14 years old, nothing more than a child. She had no busy knowledge or savvy, nor any money to keep it going. If you were not happy with the host "chatiaya.net", you have a right to insult the company name, but you do not have the right to perersonally insult my daughter. I am deeply sorry you lost your information, but sometimes shit happens!!! A professional company takes business in stride and learns from the past. Do not destroy an individual's name, because of your own failures (you failed to back up your stuff).
Based on reading some of your other postings, it sound like you are a firecracker ready to burst. It seems like you have nothing better to do than to post complaints and insults. Type A personality who is on the road to high blood pressure and heart disease. You better lighten up soon or your will explode or better yet, you just might meet up with someone like yourself who will explode on YOU!!!.

Your life seems to be so fucked up that you even take the time to check the IP’s of entries, and post entries about your own incompentency (You wouldn’t have lost your files with that host if you had backed up your files.)

Masquerading as what, if I may ask? Not really sure what anything in this entry, or any entry I’ve written in the past 8 years, has to do with pretending to be something I’m not. You sure seem to think you have me all figured out after reading two things I wrote two years apart, though.
As for checking IPs? I spent three minutes looking at my tracker to see if I could find what might have prompted your little outburst up there, it really wasn’t that hard :) The issue that this is all about was over two years ago. I’m quite over it. I didn’t even lose anything, everything was saved on my computer in one form or another. I was more upset at losing my money, having my emails ignored, being lied to, having to research new hosts, and having to deal with getting everything back the way I wanted. Silly me, I thought I might have a right to get mad when I get ripped off by someone :)
Also, a competent person would have saved their prior research just in case they needed to find a new host. Moreover, a competent person would not make their decisions based only on the cost. A competent person would consider the host’s experience and longevity of the company. How much money could you have lost on hosting fees $5/$10 at the most? Most people would MOVE on when their emails were ignored, but not you. That is how I know you have mental health issues. You try to brighten up your sad, incompetent life with smiley emoticons, but they aren’t helping you (cause you still just as frustrated as ever).
You haven’t MOVED on because you still have 2 years old postings on your Web site, and you are checking IP’s to see who is reading your old frustrations. If you were a happy person, you would have MOVED on without expending energy & time writing long messages about your own incompetencies.
SILLY, Incompetent YOU. You need to make an appointment with a mental health specialist SOON. You’re probably suffering from obesity or anorexia and you probably were a cutter as a youth (these conditions go along with the type of mental health issues you are demonstrating in your postings).

You know what I think about mental health issues? You keep visiting and picking apart things I say, inventing little scenarios about my life based on two things I wrote two years apart, obsessing over a couple dumb mistakes I’ve made that I’ve since totally forgotten about — this is making you look a little crazy. I can see that right now as I write this, you’re going through older entries I’ve written, some as old as eight years. Are you having fun? If your life is sooo much greater than mine, don’t you have better things to do? Honestly, you’re starting to strike me as a tad psycho.
You’ve accomplished nothing in your visits here other than amusing me, but I think we’ve both had our fun. I think I’d now like to officially invite you to go run off and find someone else with supposed “mental health issues” to give your rude, unprofessional and uninvited “advice” to. If you need help finding someone, try just going to Google and searching for “blog” or “weblog”. You’ll find millions of people with “mental health issues” — at least according to your definition :D
When I feel like it, I will deal with the entry that brought you here accordingly — but a bad review that I feel was deserved will never ever completely disappear :)
Go back and read all of your 8 years of blogging and see all the “crazy” stuff you are saying. Basically, all your blogging is about your own incompentencies, disappointments, mistakes, etc.
If you have totally gotten over and forgotten about your past mistakes & disappointments, then why do you continue to blog (advertise) all of them? And why do you care what I have to say and take the time to respond to me and check & block IPs? It is because you are shouting for help!!!
Instead of getting professional help, you are doing just like the millions of sick teenagers who blog on MySpace & the Internet. Blogging is your way of trying to help yourself with your mental health issues. You also probably self-medicate (use illicit drugs) and abuse alcohol. Your parents should have took you to get help a long time ago, but since they didn’t and you are now an adult, you should consider looking into it. Insurance may be a problem for you because you are a low-income worker who didn’t go to college so you may not have any insurance. There are public health facilities for people like you.
I hope you “feel like it” soon and can get some professinal help for yourself to help build some self-esteem so you will not have to advertise all your disappointments & mistakes publicly for people to read and pass judgment on you. Writing in a private diary about your disappointments & failures would be more helpful for your mental health. Then you wouldn’t have to deal with negative comments, or check & block IPs, or feel judged, which only worsens your mental health issues.
I sincerely hope you seek professional help and deal with your mental health issues before you become suicidal or worse homicidal. Good Luck!!!

I left her one last comment. It may be childish to always have to have the last word, but I though this really needed to be said:
The original entry has been gone for a while, but as promised, it hasn't disapeared, and it never will :) And neither will the rest of the information here that you so freely supplied me with, either. Shouldn't have tested me, Elaine! Heh. Ms Robinson, after all this time, I may have considered just deleting what I said before. I was honestly so over it. But sending this crazy woman to attack me out of nowhere, and having your mother email me to blame *me* for any anger I had when *you* had chosen to pull the plug with no warning... that was really not the way to go about it. I don't have to do anything with what I've written. I posted a bad review of some bad service I received. The bad service could have been prevented if you had taken just a little effort and done the right thing. If you can't take it, maybe you're not the type of person who can handle running a business. Did you have to change the name you go by online because of my entry? Please don't send any more of your crazy family members or friends to try to insult me or I might have to update this with your FULL name, including what the "Y" in "ryrobinson", because, with very little effort, I have found your new business venture [supposedly pronounced "easily", hehe]. Be sure not to screw any of your new clients over; as you know, disgruntled former clients can be a real pain, can't they? :) I wish you luck.
