My side of the CompleteVPS Story
Hello,
I just wanted to set a few things straight here. Looking at Dan Riordan’s recent blog post about a project I’m not even carrying on due to him, I thought I would give my side of the story in response to the comments I have got on that post.
His post is located here: http://thisisdanno.com/?p=89
1. I did not ask him to design it
Thats 100% ture - About the only thing Dan Riordan has told the truth about, but Dan jumped at the chance, considering the fact that we all know his “Joomla!” template suck ass, I mean come on, just look at his current one for his Host DeiseHost (Link) anything with a template like that was not going to be noticed.
One thing I should point out about this - is me and Dan were partners, 50% each, I put more funds up for start up, as well as put more hours getting the software ready, etc. Whereas he provided the idea and the domain. A sweet domain at that. Still, its not got the best of rep now.
2. He did not design it. It was designed by a guy called Keagle
Wow. I have to admit - We are on a Roll now. This is the SECOND thing that’s true to come out of Dan Riordan’s mouth - This is VERY unlike him. Yes, that’s also totally true. The PSD was designed by Keagle, who has requested I leave his real name out of this, but I’m sure some of you know him. It was then coded by myself into a webpage. Keagle was working for me at the time, and was paid for the work he carried out on the PSD, I never said “I created” it, I said “We” created it, as a team, which is true, considering I coded the whole thing into HTML/PHP, as well as carried out some minor photoshop adjustments.
3. I took it down to get him off my case
Ahhh, thats more like it. A lie. Back to the old Dan. You sure don’t disappoint.
Well, as I’m sure you have guessed, thats not the truth at all, in actual fact, he took the template down and replaced it with a crappy template because I request it of him, as he refused to pay me a small fee for the work carried out on the design (The costs I incurred in the development).
The reason I done this, is because Dan cut me out of our Partnership, due to some personal issues I was having at the time with money and work. He was short and to the point, and blunt about the money I had put into the company and would not get back.
Until the company made a profit, me and Dan went halves on the servers, but Dan had a few PayPal issues, and was unable to make payments on time, I therefore had to make the payments for him, his money still covered next month - so for that month, I needed to send nothing, but I worked out that I had put over $400 into CompleteVPS that had not been returned to me…
Now I’m sorry Dan, but how can you justify that? if you go into partnership with someone, and want to cut them out, you buy them out, not cut them out with a knife, thats illegal, I lost money due to you, therefore, you used me to help your self start the business up, and therefore, you are a fraudster. Full stop. Plain and simple, fraudster.
