[quote="pinback"][quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Now I have to do a bunch of fucking research for you and let you know how the on-line store functions work?[/quote]

Now, why would you want to let me know something like that? [/quote]

I have no idea. Probably because I felt bad for you that this thread was going to be submarined quickly because nobody on here was within fifty clicks of setting up their own store, except me, and I did exactly zero work on the payment side of things for Feelies.

Actually, I did nothing for Feelies. Except provide content. But yes! I do *know* them. And I can ... well, I could have gotten you into contact with them.

Now? Now you're just some Internet asshole who will probably talk all raw to my friends. FUCK YOU.

You started this thread because you were BORED. And you will continue to be bored so long as you've living dab (wait, let me check... that's wrong... sorry...) SMACK dab in the middle of fucking nowhere.


[quote]What Jonsey posted: "A bunch of worthless, nonresponsive, unhelpful bullshit."[/quote]

You say you want a store. You don't, I assure you. What you really want is *stability*. And my answer provided it.

Whenever I wish, I'm able to log onto this site and see one, two, three, ten, a hundred, a thousand of your shitty posts. ANY time. Day or night. Night or day. Dawn or dusk. Dusk or ... well, you know.

You want a site that will be up all the time. One that will be affordable. One that has award-winning customer support.

You want poehosting.


[quote]See the problem here?[/quote]

I see the problem -- you're being intentionally contrary because you think you can get away with it hiding behind your computer screen, on the net.

Do you want to go? Seriously. I would love to fucking fight you right now.


[quote]Gee, if only I'd started this goddamn thread by asking that very question -- [b]OH WAIT!!![/b][/quote]

I asked my own question in order to mock you asking yours, badly. Which you did (badly, in case you are extra-wondering how you asked it).


[quote]Hey, what an amazing idea. You mean, if I wanted to find something about about a certain web hosting service, I could just [i]go there[/i]? And check it out myself??!!?! [b]REALLY?!?![/b] Wow, Jonsey, thanks for your help! That's MUCH more useful than if you (or anyone else) had answered the question I actually asked!!!!! [/quote]

You didn't know about them before. You know about them now. Go use them. $13 a month for 15 gigs of bandwidth, 600 MB and someone on the support side of things that will answer your inane, amateur, porn-slathered questions (because that is what this is really about, admit it you dickfiend) in a much friendlier tone than myself.

"Does anyone have experience with a low-cost web hosting service running a store?"

Jonsey's real answer: "No."

[quote]Is ANYONE on here operating an on-line store?[/quote]

1) Yes, actually, I do sell shit through an on-line store. Feelies.org. How they handle the financials is beyond me. I do know that you can Paypal payment to them. Is that what you want?
[/quote]

No.

[quote]Go to poehosting.com. See if they have anything in place to handle credit card payments.[/quote]

[quote="pinback"]Why should I have to worry about "leaving myself open" for something when I'm just asking for a little HELP? On a BBS full of supposedly intelligent, decent people?

I wanted help, and instead I got a bunch of snide, useless retorts. This is why nobody new ever shows up here. They stay for five minutes, and you all drive them away.[/quote]

What are you babbling about? Jesus Christ.

I told you that poehosting.com is TOPS. It's top fucking shelf, baby.

Now I have to do a bunch of fucking research for you and let you know how the on-line store functions work? Is ANYONE on here operating an on-line store?

You want to get some goddamn facts, I'll get you some goddamn facts:

1) Yes, actually, I do sell shit through an on-line store. Feelies.org. How they handle the financials is beyond me. I do know that you can Paypal payment to them. Is that what you want? If it is... at all... I can get you in contact with some people who could tell you what they know. For them, "Ben Parrish" is still the harmless, fun, chucklemaster who created Annoytron and not the rage-in-the-cage possibly-droid douchefuck who has made my living a living hell lately.

2) There's no fucking "2," but I'm not going and editing this shit for your benefit.

Go to poehosting.com. See if they have anything in place to handle credit card payments. See if they allow pornography to be sold on their site, which is what I suspect this is really about: you selling nude pictures of some girl you've sweet-talked into taking her clothes off for you. Report back and let us know how it goes.

Why should I have to worry about "leaving myself open" for something when I'm just asking for a little HELP? On a BBS full of supposedly intelligent, decent people?

I wanted help, and instead I got a bunch of snide, useless retorts. This is why nobody new ever shows up here. They stay for five minutes, and you all drive them away.

...Yyyyyyyeaaaaah, I'ma gonna haveta agree with Worm on that

You left yourself open for that.

I like POE Hosting. Has JC ever been "down" since I went with them? I can't recall.

http://www.poehosting.com

Does anybody have any experience (or know anyone with experience) running a small online store, using any existing web hosting companies, and if so, do you have any suggestions or recommendations on who/what outfit to go with?

Just a small store, we're talking about here. With a niche catalog.

The more look/feel customization we can do, the better.

The cheaper, the better.
