I'm actually right in the middle of trying to get the 'situation'
resolved myself.  I lost a little data...but it's personal stuff, not
business related...so there's no money loss there (or customers to
deal with).

But on Aug 5, I paid for 1 year of hosting.  Doug and his servers
disappeared about 1 month later.  So I'd love to at least make an
attempt to get my $ back.  I had paid with paypal, and they don't even
talk to you about disputing a charge after 30 days.  Wouldn't have
mattered, as they told me today that they don't "support" intangible
services such as web hosting (as far as disputing a charge).  Had
called the bank a few days ago to see if they could do something about
the charge...they did.  They overturned the PayPal payment.  So now
the $ is back in my bank account, but my PayPal balance is negative.
Which essentially means that PayPal will charge my secondary source
(credit card), which puts me right back at square 1.

I'm wondering if anybody who was involved has made any attempts to get
their money back?  Who would I go to to make an attempt?  If there are
others, maybe forming a group would help (strength in numbers)?
