Quote:Dear Valued Limestone Networks Client,

An emergency maintenance to key infrastructure components is required to be performed. This emergency maintenance will cause a three hour time window your servers will lose both network connectivity as well as power. In order to reduce the amount of inconvenience this will cause we have scheduled this for 12:30AM-3AM CST on December 22nd 2008. Rest assured that all necessary steps will be taken to gracefully power down each server so that files are not damaged.

The server(s) on your account which will be affected by this are:

lime.tulipdomains.com
athlon.tulipstores.com
limestone.brixtontechnology.co.uk

Please ensure that your servers do not power off for this transition overnight, as we do not want you to experience downtime in the time that it takes for the server to be booted from Rockware and regain power.

PS don't bother emailing us during the outage because our nameservers ns1/ns2.tulipdomains.com will also be down and your emails will bounce.

Domains and websites using our ns1/ns2.tulipdomains.org, ns1/ns2.tulipsisp.com, and ns1/ns2.tuliphosting.com nameservers won't be affected by the outage.

Within hours, I will be closing TulipTools for good, and forever.

The servers will be shut down, and all drives reformatted, destroying any and all personal data.

No one owes a single penny.

This whole idea started simply because of people, and my faith in them, and my desire to make a difference.

Now, it's people that have left me no other choice but to shut it down.

What started out as an interesting challenge has instead become the most painful, personal few months of my life, and my confidence in what I believed about faith and humanity are shaken and shattered..... perhaps forever.

To those who supported me, I cannot express enough how proud I am of the journey we took together, and how much your support and kind words have meant through the longest of days and nights.

I will be forever grateful, and carry it with me always.

To those who most assuredly have not supported me, or TulipTools...... Who have day after day, minute by minute done everything possible to destroy the site...... I have but a few words:

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

If I live a hundred more years before I encounter such morally bankrupt miscreants again, it will be a day too soon.

Ultimately, the only eyes that need judge us that count are two: our own, and those of God.

In both regards I am clear as to what I have accomplished, and had worked so very hard for, and in that, I find my only necessary redemption.

I'm looking forward now to walking away from this interesting online experience, away from my computers, away from the judging eyes of anonymity.....and feeling the grass on my feet and the sun on my face again.

I'm going back to the 'real world', where people look you in the eye when they speak to you, where "please" and "thank you" are heard, and where simple decent behavior and effort are appreciated, and rewarded.

Farewell, and Good Luck.

Rest in Peace, TulipTools...... We hardly knew ya.
