Excellent feedback -- thank you all for sharing your thoughts! I want to give notice and take the site down if they don't pay hosting, but -- after talking with them today, feel they really are in financial trouble, and "Mr. Nice Guy" here ... (or is "Gullable" a more accurate description), is considering treating them with a little compassion. Supposedly the third-party developer was just a consultant to advise me on some updates -- who knows -- some people are whacked and you don't realize it until you've been taken. Someone on this thread referenced "treat 'em with honey" ... and I know I'll be less likely to be a successful businessman long term if I don't stand firm and tough, though in this case -- if the client rebounds financially, I'd like to keep them in my portfolio, but ... am just going on a rant now. I can't support them long term re: hosting, and am expecting a callback from their accountant, so -- wish me luck ;o) Feel free to continue sharing. As someone that owns a small consulting business (CF/SQL/VoIP programming and IT support) from home office, I don't mingle with like-minded CF/Consultant ppl in person much. CF Community seems like a cool place to mingle and share consultant experiences.
