Love it.... well done !!
It'll be interesting to see if anyone tries to have it shut down.

Pld.

Nice idea and entertaining reading.

I am surprised however that you opted to actually name *them*, rather than use some other descriptive reference (a la eircon for example) to avoid the crap which is sure to follow from the laywers.

I hope the site stays up long enough to get attention. You should publicise this site to as many online media sites as possible, as well as the odd newspaper.. .you never know, a mention here or there in the press (even as a protest site) will work wonders for the readership

I would say you could almost certainly count on it. Eircom's team of ravenous lawyers aren't high priced for nothing... and the company must "strive to protect it's image"...

*ahem*

***sceptre*** · 02-09-2002, 10:56

I'm more impressed than I've been in quite some time

If Eircom (big "E"

) do try (and maybe even succeed) in shutting it down, I trust you have the whole thing in a zip file so that anyone[1] can put up a mirror?

[1] probably "everyone"

LoBo · 02-09-2002, 10:59

Surely there's nothing wrong in having a factual information website about a company? I think its right to use Eircom's proper name, and keep things factual.

**Blacknight** · 02-09-2002, 11:06

As Eircom's attack lawyers will probably try and get this offline asap I am publicly offering whoever's responsible for the site a mirror before the legal wrangling begins.
Please contact me asap so that we can set it up for you.
Either reply here or PM me.

The site is TRULY FANTASTIC and I have no qualms whatsoever linking to it from the IOFFL site.

I have circulated the url to some government officials that I feel could do with having a peek.

This site must stay up. It may need some protecting (legally here and there) but its attempted removal should provoke outrage and as we have seen in the past its replication 10 fold.

**seamus** · 02-09-2002, 13:32

Excellent site. I love the plain and basic way it's all just laid out in front of you. No conjecture, no opinions, just hard facts.

Stick a zip of the website on some boards.ie webspace. If eircom try shut this down, then they'll know what to expect.

Excellent site.......

Everyone I know with even a passing interest in IT has received a link to it with instructions to pass it on.
