The website has been removed online already. I have it locally still.

There is virtually no way to host it on FICS. Almost no titled players go there.

Frankly with the way I was just treated by Mr.Grund, I am also in the process of
removing _any_ mention of ICC on _all_ of my websites.

When I say I was just treated like a criminal, I mean it. There was no asking to
remove anything, it was demanded. He also wanted the names of the persons who
paid, so that he can make sure they got a refund. I had no problems giving him
the names, and was already in the process of refunding people, and cancelling
other invoices.

It is disgusting the way I was just treated.
