Small Potato Keeps His Word

Written by Jeffro On October 23, 2008 | Category Of Post (News) | 179 views |

Tung Do otherwise known as Small Potato has kept his word regarding what used to be his theme club. He stated that if the new owner didn’t do anything with the site that he would refund those who purchased theme club memberships. Michael Castilla over at WPCandy is reporting today that he has received his $5.00 membership refund through Paypal already. He also mentions word that someone continued to pay the $400.00 webhosting fee for the WPDesigner.com website. How weird is that considering the site has been stale ever since it received new ownership.

I think what Small Potato has done proves that he is someone that is a trustworthy and honorable person. Good on him for keeping his word.

    It’s a shame he had to do it, but that he did says a lot about him.

    Yeah Kudos to Small Potato for doing this. I spoke to him a few times via email when he launched the membership and he came across as a nice guy.

    @Kevin - I interviewed the guy previous to him selling off the domain and he did seem like a nice guy. One this is for sure, he had a hell of a following and a community of people devoted to him and his content. I don;t think that has changed.

    @Andrew - My thoughts exactly.

    $400 a month isn’t exactly a cheap hosting bill, most likely for a decked out dedicated server. I am glad the site is still up because it’s still a great resource, even though it hasn’t been updated in months. But who could possibly be paying for it? That guy named Pawel?


  7. Comment by Michael Castilla on 23 October 2008

    Well, I suppose Pawel would be paying for the bill.

    By the way, if all goes good, we’ll be hearing more from SP in the future ;)

    You don’t find people like this any more. Being honest is a great publicity stunt. (Not in any way saying that that was his intention).

    It just works very well being honest! We should all be inspired.
