More Troubles for Chaunce Hayden

From Kimberley Barreda, Chaunce's former webmaster
NO GOOD DEED EVER GOES UNPUNISHED or Chaunce Hayden SUCKS
Wed, Dec 21st - 7:41AM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spent the past month redoing Chaunce Hayden's website.
I offered to do it after I went to visit and saw what he had going which was hideous.
He was PANICKED telling me the guy Tom was making him look like an asshole etc.. so since I do webdesign I made an offer to him to redo the site in exchange for ad sales revenue and links back to my template site (where I make a few pennies when someone clicks).
I STUPIDLY figured that it would be a good investment and went ahead and moved him to my server, set up the ad account with an ad agency, tweaked the code and essentially stupidly took chaunce at his word thinking it was a good idea.
IT WASN'T.
During our NUMEROUS email exchanges, he agreed to move his site to my server and he would send me his payment from the nudie mag he was expecting. And he of course, told me he didn't want anything to do with Howard Stern. AT ALL. Or his fans since they trash him. Which of course, is to be expected.
So, I finish the site and Chaunce is THRILLED. Until Chaunce told the same guy to make changes to the site and the guy BROKE it and Chaunce sent me an email begging me to fix it right away since it made him look bad and I had to do it RIGHT AWAY since CHAUNCE already put a full page ad in his magazine.

I just asked him to upload a new show... after that I'm out of the loop..... what happened now?
I had ALREADY spent ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY HOURS working for him based on our agreement and he was BREAKING the code and when I didn't jump to fix HIS mistake, he got upset.

I know everyone is fighting.. but now my show isn't even working....
This is embarassing since I'm running full page ads for it....
What do you say.. time to close up shop?
Chaunce
This is where Chaunce starts pulling his hissy fit and essentially telling me he's just going to toss all my work as though we don't have a deal.

SUBJECT: Re: hey guys?
I'm not fighting with anyone
I didn't tell him to change the page or to make unauthorized changes
I've DONE my work PROPERLY - this is because SOMEONE completely disregarded the work I've done and BROKE IT AGAIN
it's your call - but I think it SUCKS that you would even say something like this - and I take it as a personal insult actually - that you're just going to disregard ALL MY WORK since I am the ONLY one with any real time on the site but you do what you want because YOU fucked up
I ALREADY TOLD YOU NOT TO LET OTHER PEOPLE TOUCH THE CODE - ESPECIALLY TOM since he DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING
but again, it's your site.

It gets SO much better.
See, Chaunce has a photo of his filthy butthole online and someone posted it in his forum and when he couldn't FIGURE OUT HOW TO log in to erase it and I didn't IMMEDIATELY do it - I was trying to make some money to pay the mortgage since he never sent that check - HE MOVED THE SITE off my server without even so much as a note.

So I emailed him.

Sorry Kim, but the photos inside the Forum were being passed all over the net.. too embarassing and then I found out they were posted in my own gallery! I get trashed a lot by Stern fans and haters.. but I can't get killed by my own site....
Thank you for all your work.. but I just couldn't allow that. I also tried to get them off the site but wasn't able to make that happen.
Yours truly,

So, seeing as he just completely removed all my opportunity to recover my investment I sent him this:

SUBJECT: Re: Sorry Kim
right
you suck chaunce
you took my opportunity to recoup my investment in your site - an investment that YOU said would be there - and just trashed it with no thought whatsoever for time or the effort of the people who actually STEPPED UP FOR YOU
you absolutely SUCK and I am very upset with you
you caused me to waste three full weeks of my time and the time of others who helped ME get YOUR site up because we had an agreement on advertising that you unilaterally took away... but now I don't have the opportunity because YOU took it away because you are selfish and not particularly a nice person.
you suck SO much
but I really hope you have a nice day anyway - because I'm good like that even when people SCREW ME OVER
kim
Chaunce of course, did not bother to respond.
So I sent him this:
FROM: Kimberley Barreda
TO: Chaunce
DATE:Tuesday, December 20, 2005 8:02 AM
CC: Shane
SUBJECT: I'd like to know how you plan to make this right.
I did the work for you on the understanding that you would be a paying
customer on my server and that I would be able to sell ad space on the site
and that I would be able to link back to my web design business.
That was our arrangement.
You also told me you would be sending me the payment you received from the
nudie mag article that you wrote.
I understand that you felt the need to just cut and run, however, I really
feel you need to make this right.
I am open to suggestions.
Kim
Chaunce did not bother to respond. So I sent him this.
FROM: Kimberley Barreda
TO: Chaunce
DATE: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 5:57 AMCC: (removed)
SUBJECT: Chaunce this isn't going to go away
You need to address this and tell me how you plan to make it right.
You currently owe me $3000 for web development (120 hours x $25/hr) since
you took the opportunity to earn it back away.
I gave you a break on the amount since my hourly is usually $45 but I took
$2,400 off the bill since we know each other and frankly I didn't expect you
to screw over a woman in a wheelchair in this manner and steal this kind of
resource from me but hey.. I was wrong but in the spirit of the holidays,
I'm still willing to give you a break.
Ignoring me won't make it disappear and if it's not paid in 30 days, I will
be adding back the discount.
You need to make this right Chaunce - I DID my end - I DID the work based on
our agreement.
You took that away, now I want to be paid.

You're insane..... go away.
Not I don't owe you, or you're wrong, or anything. Just a quick brush off.
I of course, answered back with THIS:

Chaunce, that isn't how professionals do business.
You know you're wrong.
I can proceed in any fashion you choose.
I have ALL the emails from you.
Kim
and this is his response to me - he is upset that his dirty butthole picture that HE put online got put on HIS site and now that he got called on his scam - which it is in my opinion - he's pissed.

And I have all my emails from you as well. You offered to do my website at no charge. I allowed you to do so. I wasn't happy with your work so I shut it down. You have cost me damage to my reputation that is well into six figures. Would you like to continue this?
Yours truly,
Chaunce Hayden
PS: This is the last time I will respond to you. If you continue to harrass me I will seek a court order of protection against you and file charges.
He wasn't happy with my work is simply crap. He is upset that THIS PHOTO OF HIS DIRTY ASSHOLE is online. No, there isn't a link to it, even though I could so very easily put one there.
SEE? - NO GOOD DEED EVER GOES UNPUNISHED!
