    The Sheriff's version...

    Sic!

  2. Do you see what I see? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Compensation for Bandwidth Costs is Extortion?

    Does the Macomb Sherriff look like that sherriff from the Dead Zone?

    Our dear friend S.D. died today.
    He was invited to party at http://www.macomb-sheriff.com but never showed up.
    S.D. had no wife, girl friend, or any relationship
    with opposite sex whatsoever.

    I don't know what the old site looked like, but I just took a look at the new one, and it is so bad that I think $300K would be a bargin to have something other than that pile of crap.

    See for yourself...

  5. New website by merlin_jim · · Score: 1 · on Compensation for Bandwidth Costs is Extortion?

    For those curious, the sheriff's department has put up a new website to replace the old one.

    The new one sucks.

    Here's a bad snapshot of the Old one

    Here's the New one

    So is a /.ing extortion? If you don't think it is, vote by clicking that second link a few times :)

  6. He looks to have only 3 clients by marklyon · · Score: 1 · on Compensation for Bandwidth Costs is Extortion?

    On his website, it appears he has only three clients, and one design style.

    Web Archive version of the old sherrif's site, and the new one.

  7. New and improved by AstroDrabb · · Score: 1 · on Compensation for Bandwidth Costs is Extortion?

    New and improved site. Wow, they think this is an improvement? The old site was not great, but it appeared to be a little better. This "new and improved site" is one of the most horrid sites I have ever seen. Was it done by a third grader? Viewing the source, I see it was made with Microsoft FrontPage 5.0. Probably one of the cops did it at home in his/her spare time. They should have spent a few bucks and hired someone with a little graphical abilites.

    This story is weird. I think the guy had some hopes on getting rich quick off the tax payers. However, I do not think it was a severe as the sheriff's office is making it out to be. I don't know the costs of hosting a site. So what would 3.5 million hits per month for three years run for your average hosting site? $300,000? That sounds a little steep to me. Maybe it was a dedicated host, which would add to the cost.

    These charges seem like overkill. If your not happy with the deal, then drop the charges in exchange for the hostname and old site content. I am sure the guy would rather go for that then possible jail time on bogus charges. What a litigious society we live in now adays.

  8. New site is much more dashing by Ingolfke · · Score: 1 · on Compensation for Bandwidth Costs is Extortion?

    I'm not sure what the old site looked like, but the new site is much more dashing than the old site!

    Have you seen their website? http://www.macomb-sheriff.com/

    Their new web designer should probably go to jail too.
