Congrats on your first post
It's good as a first post, at least not something like WHMCS lifetime license for 100$.
Right on @Lee. We're all witnessing the evolution of the hosting industry.
I agree. In fact, I was kind of shocked that it was a good first post
Which means the end is clearly nigh. Mankind is supposed to go backwards, not forward.
I don't care about WHT (know it only very little) or hostballs, which even changed its name (to a boring one) and certainly not about LES.
For me LET is the community for all things hosting related and I'm very happy that @jbiloh 2020 is quite different from the jbiloh CC/Deluxe. And yes, I see changes, which feeds my hope to see LET recover and regain its position. Also those changes, i.e. real tangible progress, help us to restore our trust in LET and its future.
About the only reason to think about WHT at all is the question how to offer their users a new and better home here.
As for LES, well, there is an old rule of communites which I already saw multiple times at work: users are running away fast to new presumably greener pastures, but more often than not they'll return albeit slower than they ran away. In the long run LES will be but a relatively small community of hardcore AS fans and/or jbiloh haters - IFF jbiloh continues the way he acts since he took over LET/LEB.
Anyway, let's not waste time discussing the others but rather use our energy to repair and grow our LET community!
LES is a good place for the right people, some just don't fit in, do they.
That's just another, more positivistic, version of what I said.
And yes (as you probably meant to indicate) I wouldn't fit in well there. So what? It seems I fit in quite well here and that happens to be what I prefer anyway.
I do not wish the other communities to fail. I simply don't care, I'm focused on LET and it regaining its strength and position.
You believe what you want, bookmark this comment.
Biloh is just trying to get the place in the best position to sell it.
You can come back and thank me when it happens for seeing through all his BS.
I stopped visiting WHT years and years ago because it was clear that actual consumers were not on the website anymore, it was just a number of hosting providers. That number of hosting providers has dwindled and dwindled the past few years because the reason for those providers to invest time has diminished further (there are no users/buyers on WHT anymore).
Nothing to do with Chris getting caught shilling for CC brands and getting banned?
Who? I am not sure I know this.
@mechanicsweb - don't want to miss gossip from years ago?
Maybe I'm blue-eyed and stupid and maybe my not yet being here for many years is a factor but I don't focus on @jbiloh years ago and in a completely different setting; I care about what I see now and here - and I'm committed to contribute to jbiloh's efforts. If that leads to me looking stupid one day in the future, so be it.
But, you see, LET - that is, OUR community - doesn't live from or get better by having this or that reason to not contribute, but only by having reasons to contribute.
If my (increasingly and IMO deserved and earned) trusting jbiloh turns out to be justified I will have done something positive. If not then I will still have done something positive, but I'll look like an idiot. I'm willing to take that risk because LET means something to me.
I think 90% of WHT's traffic is "check the offers" so that people can spam their sigs. If they banned on sigs on WHT, traffic would drop to zero.
It's amazing to read that site and see how provider is just a clone of each another...
This is true, it's just a big echo chamber.
True. LET still has a niche and enough personality to survive but WHT was always just an advertising forum.
WHT is just not good enough anymore: I've been diligently visiting the offers for months now and have only seen a couple of interesting offers. LET and the others usually provide the same number of offers in 1-2 weeks.
