Now, our new Hall of Shame seems to have been received quite well and there have been the obvious comparisons to the long running, well respected BBC Crimewatch (obviously though, they deal with much more serious crime than we do!).
So we thought it only fair that seen as though there is a Crimewatch Update, that we have a Hall of Shame update!
Now if you cast your mind back to the grand opening of the Hall of Shame you’ll remember this particular individual. He was of course ‘areyouakeggar’ and we established that he was a bandwidth thief.
Now, we conducted a little bit of research, to see if we were justified in our actions. Our very own DPS David, after creating the image and substituting it on the DPS Computing server, had second thoughts and wondered if the action was maybe a little too harsh. Seeking advice, and maybe reassurance, DPS Computing put it out to the very nice folks of the eUKhost community forums to see what they all thought.
Surprisingly, it was unanimous! Everyone over at eUK thought the action was completely justified and necessary to deter this type of theft. Therefore all at DPS Computing now felt confident to carry on with the original plan.
As a quick recap we sought to punish him for this crime and swapped the image that he was stealing our bandwidth by using (costing us £££) with a rather more humorous and truthful image:

As I’m sure you’ll agree, this image was much more worth of being displayed in the bandwidth thiefs signature! For months and months it stayed there untouched but DPS Computing has now received information that he has subsequently removed the image.
His signature now simply reads – “I can’t think of anything worth putting as a signature.”. Well, at DPS Computing, we can think of something that you could put – “I would like to apologise to all at DPS Computing and it’s loyal visitors and members that I stole bandwidth from them therefore disrupting the normal operations and resources that should be available to it’s members”.
If any of you have got any ideas about any other signature suggestions you would like me to forward to him (see, even after what he’s done, we’re still nice people trying to help him out!) then please feel free to leave them in the comments section.
We hope that this has taught areyouakegger a vital lesson that stealing is bad. At DPS Computing we believe that we can count this as the first victory for the Hall of Shame and it’s unwavering mission to protect the site that we all love.
That’s all for now. Until next time on ‘Hall of Shame Update’! Keep safe. And remember crime of this type is extremely rare (I wish!). Sleep well and please, don’t have nightmares
