content: Quote from: gv260ea on November 06, 2015, 11:22:56 pmYup, just a pathetic loser with nothing better to do with their life. They are probably reading this, in which case they should know that Hostgater are going to ensure this doesn't happen again. And oh, BTW, their legal department is not happy with the fraudulent DMCA request filed (proof of fraud provided).

content: Quote from: gv260ea on November 07, 2015, 01:04:32 amMy case was escalated to none other than the CEO.And their legal team is busily and eagerly looking into what they will do about this clown. They are not amused. If I was him I'd pull my head in and go into hiding and hope they don't take legal action against the fraudulent claim.
