i appreciate all your opinions and am glad to get some feedback. i emailed back and forth with this guy about three times with all the information he requested in order to back up my board. we aren't talking about doing a bunch of work. he asked for a deposit, so i made it in his paypal account. then, i don't hear from him for three days which included about four emails asking what was up and if he couldn't do it that it wasn't a big deal and just return the money and i'll find someone else. while some of you may say three days isn't enough -- in my book it is plenty. i'm sure all of you check your email daily, if not by the hour, and this guy being a vb "hacker" i'm sure is the same. now emergencies can happen, but i am betting he still checks his email even if someone died. all he needed to do was say i can't do it right now and here is your dough back. it would just be nice to have a forum on this board that was given to respectable people to do hacks so when people like me come here for help i can do it with confidence. it is just really uncool for people to pull this crap and leave me hanging day after day. if i don't here back from him this week i will certainly post everything about him so y'all can warn the next guy. i hate to do it, but it would be nice to see this kind of stuff prevented. so anyhow, i am looking for someone to do a backup of a board and install a new board on a different ip.
