When i was around 14 or 15, I helped do the web dev stuff for an online friend of mine who started a Minecraft server hosting company (he was a few years older than me)
It actually got pretty popular and while I just got paid in free server hosting, I was having a great time.
He just disappeared one night though which we noticed when the card he used for the bulk server reseller host failed. All the servers we were hosting for people along with the website got shut down and he was nowhere to be found online. I was talking to him pretty much all day every day so it was really weird
Its been nearly 15 years but I still wonder wtf happened to him
I dislike how old the last sentence made me feel.
I was the tech guy for a dude that did the same with Minecraft server hosting. He worked at a data center.
Few years of the business doing really well and he just sorta... Vanished one day.
Just poof.
