@Morgan, “perfect” is a pretty apt description of the day :)

@Lars, it’s all about priorities ;)

Comment on StikiPad - When software in the cloud goes sour

It proves that it will be a long time before we dispense with the desktop apps. I for one only used stikipad as and when I wasn’t at my own computer and needed to collect info/data as and when for later.

Sadly, I didn’t back it up since I hadn’t used it in a long time and only went there the other day to share it with a friend only to be confronted with the same notice.

Bit bummed as I could do with having access to the data right now, but there’s little I can do about it. I just hope that this isn’t the end of stiki and that it does actually re-open.

“It proves that it will be a long time before we dispense with the desktop apps.”

How does this prove anything, other than the Stickipad managers are irresponsible jerks?

Not being able to migrate your data is really the major hurdle of all this Web 2.0 mumbojumbo.

Well, that and the whole “cloud” idea. I know several cloud services that could provide a real benefit to my workplace - but we can’t use them. We need to adhere to policies that state that NO data can be stored off-site, so any web service is basically a no-go, no matter how excellent they may be.

Going back to data migration, the only cloud services I know that easily allows you to “reclaim” your data is Gmail and Google Calendar - but I haven’t researched it that thouroughly.

@snowcrash, I’d like to find out about possible legal options. Let me know how I can participate. I was thinking I’d start by reporting them to my credit card company as perpetrators of fraud. Not sure if that’s possible/accurate; first I have to see how many months I’ve been paying for an unusable service. Does anyone know the earliest date that the site stopped responding?

I used stikipad for a group i was running, and paid the first year’s $99. A year later I get a charge on my Amex for another $99, with no email notice from stikipad that they were about to charge me. I try to find the guys and no one replies to my emails. So I finally track one of them done via Google and post on his socnet. He fires back in a nanosecond that I should not be posting a complaint and that to send them an email via their site. Of course I already did that. I guess he just got mad because he was called out.

I contested the charge and I have to check to see if I got a refund. I have been way too busy to look.

And the kicker is that I never used the site for the group, we switched to basecamp because we needed more features.

@snowcrash, I’m just desperate to get my data back. I had the manual for a business concept put up there, and I’m growing increasingly concerned that it is lost. Perhaps legal action is the best possibility, however, I’d really prefer to aviod the hassle if I could only get my hands on my data.

I am interested in taking some action. I have about 120 hours invested in building my wiki and also desperately want the data back. I think a lawsuit is going to be expensive and has a small likelyhood of recovery.

I am thinking we should post a web site(s) about the founders documenting their misuse of the public trust. (Maybe a wiki with permissions?)

A good web site will be inexpensive yet will make it difficult for them to do business or obtain well paying jobs. We can offer to take it down after they have returned our data.

What do you think?

@Mountainsport, Sounds like a good idea. I think we should try everything within limits of fairness.

Alright guys, enough’s enough. I realize people are frustrated - so am I. However, I don’t want my website to become the outlet for a personal vendetta.

I will be happy to pass your email address on to the other people posting here if you allow me to, and you can take it from there yourselves.

But it won’t be on my site, sorry.
