I’m still thinking on what happened a few days ago. In ways I wish I could fix what happened and pretend I never had a thought of feeling like I’m wasting my money. In others, I wish I could just forget the site ever existed.
Seeing how it’s still up, I’m wondering if this means that angry removed himself as co-owner, making myself the full owner of the website. If so, then maybe I can just tell Arvixe to shut it down for good (to literally burn the memories away). Or… maybe I could just take control of the site and try to get my General blog back up. I could use Kompozer and make some quick web pages to replace the home page, linking to both my blogs.
Yet by doing any of that, I feel it will only infuriate angry even more. Though Benie’s Builds started as my idea, he helped me so much with it. And to just replace them, feels wrong.
I dunno what I should do. I have been talking to his friend, goppend. He’s going to secretly ask him for me if the site belongs to me. Depending on that outcome, I’ll have to decide what to do with the website. I actually do hope it’s mine, because the due date is coming up in about two months from now (it’s November 25th).
But having it mine, I won’t have to really tell my friends on the MRT of what happened. They don’t need to know.
Another thought I had, was to basically buy another website and then pay for a file transfer. That website would be ‘benies-blogs.com’. It would pretty much kill off the name ‘beniesbuilds’ and have the website for its true “purpose”. Yet I would stay with Arvixe. Even though they didn’t directly answer my billing question, they still do damn good hosting.
I just hope the site’s control panel is as easy to understand and work with as I had when I was with NoMonthlyFees.com (and had ‘TheBeaverDam.com’). And I also had forgotten a part of history. Benie’s Builds used to be called ‘DragonContraptions.com’. I still have some old webpages I made on my hard drive, with Dragonforce’s lyrics on it. That was pretty fun going over the songs over and over, listening to the lyrics.

EDIT: Gop has informed me that I 100% own the site and I can do what I want with it. But I cannot log into Arvixe. Claims the password is wrong, and all the emails that I know that are active are not in the system.
I was literally forced to man up and talk to angry via gop inviting me into their group chat. After several rounds of ‘eternal torment’ of him having fun, he said to try the webmaster at beniesbuilds dot com email(spread out to deter spam bots), and that worked. I also changed the password.
I was actually going to do that before, but assumed that angry didn’t remove his email from it. He has, so it would just go to me.
Looking inside, I don’t see a Control Panel anywhere. I have a feeling that working on the website will all be done through FTP. Well, I left them two emails, one about this, and the other about going to a ‘benies-blogs.com’.
I’ll keep you posted once I have answers to these emails, via a new post (through this, not the website). And I also have more questions I should had asked them at the time;
1. Can the new website be placed on the current server(the ‘dallas122’ one)?
2. Once the old website is closed, will there be a new billing date? And if so, can I change it back to the current billing date?
But they will be answered in due time. I’ll just leave them alone for when they respond to me. Hopefully they’ll actually answer my questions as direct as I expect them to be.
