might be a good way to drum up publicity and site traffic. Sometimes, there is no such thing as "bad" publicity. :)

The "We suck" part reminds me of when I worked for a retail company that used Security Express for its cash transportation. Well, for a short time anyway. The operatives used to crack a joke about their company motto, saying it was "Securicor Cares, we don't give a fuck". Unfortunately one of them made the mistake of cracking it, not realizing that the person he was speaking to was our MD.

What's even better, is that they changed it to say "Sorry our site is offline.", but failed to remove the tag line at the bottom: If you are another web developer that has been paid to change this then make sure you get paid up front. http://www.utilitybidder.co.uk/[^]

The source is still venomous, and it still says: "If you are another web developer that has been paid to change this then make sure you get paid up front." at the bottom of the page.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

How stupid do you get? I would imagine almost all web developers would be well hardened individuals that add kill-switches to their code. I mean seriously, you task someone to design and present the face of your business, and try and steal their work? IDIOTS. The deserve all they get. :-\

Those Developers... FTW!! ;P
I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

You may wonder why this site is offline, if you are reading the source then you are most probably a web developer that has been paid to change this. I put this here as the company in question broke our contract and left payments outstanding, as a last resort I put their site offline, what else could I do. Make sure you are paid up front, even if you have a contract, they aint worth shit. That is the basic comment at the bottom of the source code. It's super funny and I have had to do similar things. Once company had me build a huge database driven site with customer preferences stored in the database etc. Was a great site, users could log in choose a template, make color changes etc, then save it and be good to go. The company wanted it stored in the database so it would remain the same no matter what machine the user used. Well two things they forgot 1, I was the database host, and 2 they forgot to send the big check. I got some up front money etc, but the main part of the work wasn't paid for. They pulled me as the web host but left my database tied to the site. about 30k users had setup their templates etc. I guess they were hoping for me to forget about them using my database. Being kind and such, I let them continue to use my database, but just cause I could I setup random generators for various template fields in the database. One day suzzies template would be blue back ground white text, the next green back ground yellow text. Was hilarious to see the feedback the company got. Once again being my database and the feedback system being tied to it. I got to see the carnage. About 2 months of people complaining the site was broken, and things weren't working etc. I got a phone call, asking if I had any idea why the site would just stop working. I said no idea did they check the database? The phone hung up. I laughed a bunch, and the next day I got a phone call again, asking about where the database was. I told them it was still on my servers, and they put two and two together at that point, and asked if something had changed with the database. I said yeap, I use it as a test server for sql code now. It was at that point they had the guts to ask me to provide them with a copy of the database for free so they could host it with their new host. I said sure not a problem, just go to my google pay account and buy a copy of the database. I had setup an item in my store, named StupidPeople's database backup. I said once payment had cleared they would have the disk mailed to them. The payment was what t
