Creepery’s being treated like shit, and this domain’s hosting company taking the money out for hosting.. without my fucking permission, are the topics of this evening’s discussion.
It’s the Lunalong. I’m trying to enjoy myself.. and THIS shit is going on!
So let’s get this drama train rolling, shall we? Let’s start with Creepery… and why I’ve ‘given up’ on him.
On the first of November, Creepery was preparing to do a ‘scare-off’ in his server (yes Halloween was over, but I’m not the one that runs the server). I was part of this ‘scare team’, where we could finally express ourselves (and not have the avatar blocked by fun haters)… that was until the evening, when he mentioned it was canceled. When questioned why, he said that Rusty told him to close his world, and that “nobody likes him”. Yet at the same time, he said that himself and Rusty were working together to make a new world.

I know that Creepery’s the way he is (which is why Rusty was able to easily manipulate him)… but to work with your enemy?! WTF!? Ingame I tried to get him to understand. He does, but knows this is the only way he can have a community (apparently). And.. I cannot support him. Not this time. And this has bothered me so, so much. I tried to tell him that we NEED to tell the admins and get Rusty banned from VRChat, but he says that the Warhammer 40k are watching his every move.
King Chris, one of the now former scare team members, was downright furious at this news. He wanted to kill Rusty. I was able to calm him down, and talk to him in a private world about this.
This.. is when things started taking a dark turn. This ‘Chris’ is not OK in the head, and knows people (that he claims) who could do far worse things than the Warhammer 40k. And he started talking to his ‘buddies’ about it; cackling like a madman. I was extremely uncomfortable with this (and still am as I write this). As much as I want to protect Creepery, I feel this is too much. So, I assume he was going to take care of this on his own (while I could focus on the upcoming impalongs).
Now, I’m being called a coward for not helping Chris. Because, Creepery has been apparently forced out of.. the Best Boi community? (I thought it died) Mmm… now he’s done with VRChat forever.
Fucking hell… I NEVER wanted to be a part of this!!! YES I’m a fucking coward for not standing up to Creepery, but I just.. bleh. Leave me alone. 😛

And now the other shit stain. Folks, there is no “if”: I am switching website hosters, as soon as January of next year. I’m dropping Arvixe and going back to GoDaddy.
So what happened? Every year, on this month (on the 25th), is when this domain is due. I have specifically said, I want to be the one that sends them the money (by turning auto-renewal OFF).
But… they did, yesterday. Granted, I did receive an email last month stating the payment would be due, and would come out automatically. But I thought they were joking. Again, I got it set to OFF… yet they take it! WHAT THE FUCK!!
Attempting to contact them through their Live Chat, I’m seeing “Unable to initiate chat session”. Both Firefox and Microsoft Edge show the same message. I don’t know if they’ve purposely set it to troll their customers (makes no sense as to why), or they’ve laid off their Indian support staff (and didn’t tell us).
In addition, I can no longer send them a direct email. You now have to file a ticket on their site, which links to their ‘Knowledgebase’. And if it can’t help you… start a live chat.
All means of getting support, have been forcefully tied into live chat (which no longer works). It’s next to impossible to contact them now. I have no fucking idea why all the sudden, they’re ignoring their customers (but not ignoring their money). It’s absolutely baffling.
The only reason I can think of, is they overworked their support team. Because I remember saying in this post, how they were being overworked, and how it was only going to get worse.
So… they leave me with no choice but to switch hosting providers. And I can’t do that until the 5th of next year (this way I know I’ll have the money for it).

I will continue to try to get ahold of these guys. Hopefully I can, and I’ll get this matter completely resolved (which may reverse my decision, depending on what happens). But at this time, I really doubt it.
