Needless to say.. the time to move to my OWN server is now — relying on other companies or people is not going to work — seems everyone shuts it down within 6 months … private company from last year got hacked and asked me to leave!! Now wordpress shuts me down arbitrarily…
The only way is going to be something I personally own, maintain, and pay for. This reached a whole new level — an aggressive shutdown of my website without any kind of notice — or any kind of appeal other than an internet blast of complaints ?! WTH is this world coming to?!
here is the original video I made in regards to my website being shut down here on WordPress (cuss alert NC-17) I drop the eff bomb a few times among other hot under the collar statements — sorry folks.. im human.. i get upset.. im Gen-X.. I cuss like a sailor when Im outraged …
This video is epic :^)

———————————————
please understand.. I made this above video after I found out my website was deleted — NO REASON sent to me — No email , call , or contact of any kind from WordPress — just literally deleted my site and threw up a long form “term of service” agreement on what WAS my page. So I was at the height of sheer outrage when I made it ..
SEVERAL HUNDRED (maybe even thousands) of my viewers contacted wordpress via the form I provided below the video …. the website has now been restored (approx 11am CST 2/3/2012).
This marks the second time my website has come under “shutdown assault”. First time, I had it held on a private server — that server got DOS attacked over and over again to the point where the other businesses on the service were being effected.
My old website was hacked, literally they came in and deleted the content (on multiple servers in Texas plus other companies information on the same server setup). I was asked politely to “stop using the service due to security threats coming from people who don’t like you”.. that is the reason for the FIRST website getting nuked.
I wasn’t able to recover all the information from the FIRST site — so that was a bunch of content lost.
Then at the same time as the first website getting blasted — Youtube hit me with several third party copyright violations on public use information, feeds, and webcams. They shut down my youtube page SAME WAY.. SAME STYLE.. shut down without any notice or ability to appeal. My account was restored on youtube after I contacted legal representation, and TENS OF THOUSANDS of viewers cried foul via video, blog, print and discussion forums.
Now move forward 6 months.. and here I am again.. my website was shut down this AM for some UNKNOWN “violation of terms of service” on wordpress. It would really help to know what exactly on my educational website actually causes someone else harm. Last time I checked, links to earthquake data, weather data, data analysis, and MSM news analysis is fully allowed on the internet.
Once again, thanks to the viewers who sent messages to wordpress — your actions are what caused this reversal.
