Teheh, very good

By asking for this site to be taken down[if they did] arent eircom admitting that their company resembles a half-baked, crappy, rip-off, lying, cheating, scum of a company?

Funny stuff

I looked at the www.errorcom site and thought it was a mix of good satire with something that I'd call bordering on adolescent humor. I have a son and a nephew who would think all of it was very funny, but they are adolescents and haven't yet made much happen in the real world.

Luvleh.

Nice one Adam... i was going crazy as i went through the posts and I thought i wasnt going to see the site.... its being emailed to the masses (well four or five) as we speak.

3 cheers to Adam and the creator of the website

rymus

same here (to what adam said) two mirrors are better than one

ElNino

I haven't laughed so long and so hard in years, thank you Adam for mirroring it, and thank you to the author, is really a good summery of what a lot of us feel.

What equipment do I need to get for errorcom deny-stream?

A Computer
Hallucinogenic drugs, and lots of them, that when taken will help you think that errorcom provides such a service.

Supercell

BTW i hope someone has mailed theregister.co.uk, they love this kind of stuff.
Interesting to see what they make of how annoyed we are here.

angryuser

Superb. Thanks to Adam for taking the trouble to get a mirror of the site. But, am I missing something here ? The "whois" shows the owners and contacts of the errorcom site. so do we know these people, or is it common knowledge, but I missed it ?? :-(

"Ignorance is bliss" :-((

WHOIS



its no secret anyways.
free info.

That web site is a good laugh indeed -- and I needed one, the situation regarding Internet access in Ireland is, sadly, still very depressing.

All that said, I think it could have been done in a slightly more tasteful way. But then again, Eircom is tasteless, so who am I to argue with?

Now, anyone emailed The Register yet?

Edit: My favourite bit is:

"What is the bottom line?

You're Fecked basically."

dardoz

yes lads, Eircom did ring the owner of the site and asked him to take it down. He did but trust me (or my reliable source), it will be back up under its www.errorcom.com url again. Just a few legal things to take care of

Lemming

What is the bottom line?

You're ****ed basically.

LMAO

That bit at the very end of the deny-stream page is soooo true

Cheers for that one Adam

I hope that Ireland Offline will specifically remind the ODTR and the minister of Eircom's actions regarding the suppression of this parody.

I hope that Eircom will finally get the idea that a service provider is expected to provide a service. That the customer is always right. That we aren't a bunch of uneducated rubes who don't understand what technology is available in other countries and why we are angry that we are paying through the nose for something that other folks get for reasonable prices.

I hope that some day I can know what my monthly charges will be for my internet access, so I can plan and budget and grow my business.

I hope I hope I hope.

I so heartily endorse this product and/or service that I'm weeping. Three thumbs up.

After reading the following, posted by Trojan on another thread,

As for posting mirrors of the site, thanks for the offer, but can I please ask you and your friends to sit still on it for a week or so until I get everything sorted.

My mirror is offline ... for now

Oops ... should note, that quote is the original author being quoted BY Trojan

Mountjoy Mugger

Hmm - it also seems that htose who are against the page seem to be spanking new members to Boards. Are they Eircon employees - maybe their PR staff?

I am an informed concerned tech.

Do you feel that Eircom or their image should not be parodied?

For the life of me, I can't understand then why you are getting your knickers in a twist in respect of a site that is clearly a parody. Telling people to grow the f*** up and cop themselves on doesn't give me the impression of one who is "concerned".

It does, however, give me the impression of one who is narrowminded and either a sympathiser to a duopoly or else one who is wetting themselves over a bit of harmless fun!

I disagree. I think that the continual childish actions of organisations such as Irelandoffline and the person in Epsilon Ltd who set up the parody site errorcom.com is unprofessional and belittles the valid concerns of the technical community in Ireland (of which IrelandOffline are not representitative IMHO). No publicity is better than bad publicity.
